Twitter Routing Issue in UK?

9 pointsby tehc-uk4 ปีที่แล้ว4 comments

Something odd going on with network routing to Twitter in the UK right now. From a BT Broadband home connection, traffic seems to be flowing via an "mts-internet.net" addresses listed in Moscow. I've tried from a VPN and can access Twitter just fine. Downdectector shows a peak in reports of issues too - https://downdetector.co.uk/status/twitter/.

Tracing route to twitter.com [104.244.42.1] over a maximum of 30 hops:

BGP routing hijack, and some providers not implementing RPKI filtering:

Not getting this on Virgin Media in the UK - that is, the domains you mentioned aren't appearing in the route for me.
