Hey everyone! I'm having trouble with internet connectivity, but it seems to only affect certain programs and websites. Here's what I've noticed:
- League of Legends won't even open.
- Discord is stuck on the "starting" screen indefinitely.
- The website DPM.lol doesn't load properly.
On the bright side, some services are working fine:
- Twitch, Steam, and YouTube all function without issue.
So far, I've tried several troubleshooting steps:
- Restarting my PC and router.
- Flushing the DNS.
- Using my ISP's app to restart my connection.
- Powering off my router for over 30 minutes.
I really just wanted to play League after work, but I can't figure out what's going wrong. Everything else seems to work! Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Honestly, I think this might not be an issue on your end. It seems like there’s a broader outage affecting services like Discord, Riot Games, and others linked to Cloudflare. If that's the case, it should clear up eventually, so don’t stress too much about it.
What kind of error do you face when trying to load Discord? Have you tried pinging it in the command prompt? It might be worth changing your DNS to Google's (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4) if you haven't done that yet.
There’s no error, just infinite loading and then it times out. I'll check the DNS settings.
It sounds like you might be experiencing some packet loss or latency issues, especially with services that are routed through Cloudflare. Have you tried accessing DPM.lol on your phone while it's in airplane mode with WiFi turned on? That might help you narrow it down a bit.
I can reach DPM, but it's really slow, and nothing loads properly.
I can't connect to Discord's website either—it's acting up for me too! My speed test looked fine, recording 170 Mbps download and 40 Mbps upload, but I did have a high spike once. Switching to a new Ethernet cable helped. You might want to try WiFi instead and see if the problem persists.
No way, not my ISP again! Got any links to this info?
