Unplanned outage of FDCPS project.
The server is not out.
The site is not out.
The comms are not out.
Microsoft has hijacked NO-IPs 23 free domains & DNS, with the permission of a US judge, to 'filter' out a few bad hosts and in (predictably) failing to do so appropriately has created a denial of service to pretty much everyone with a no-ip dynamic DNS.
ETF - unknown. Somewhere around the same time as someone important gets the judge out of bed to revoke the order probably.
Hosting a site from the southern hemisphere on an OS that has nothing to do with M$ does not keep you out of the M$ blast zone.
I object that a US judge deems that they can sign off that M$ can highjack an international highway to identify and stop the defective 'vehicles' that they built and sold instead of demanding they issue a recall.
This is no april fools day.

The fail:
"In the meantime, NO-IP / Vitalwerks have published their answer online:
Apparently, the Microsoft infrastructure is not able to handle the billions of queries from our customers. Millions of innocent users are experiencing outages to their services because of Microsoft’s attempt to remediate hostnames associated with a few bad actors.”
Hopefully normal service will resume shortly.
