It seems like DNSSEC key rotations happened sooner than expected: the rotation was planned for November 2025, and it happened today, breaking DNS resolution for all torproject.org domains around 2025-09-20 17:40:10UTC. Keys were updated in the .org registry at around 19:32UTC. With the one hour time-to-live record on .org DS records, we expect this outage will be fully resolved by 20:32UTC. <p>All services are affected by a major DNS outage.</p> <p>It seems like DNSSEC key rotations happened sooner than expected: the rotation was planned for November 2025, and it happened today, breaking DNS resolution for all <code>torproject.org</code> domains around 2025-09-20 17:40:10UTC.</p> <p>Keys were updated in the <code>.org</code> registry at around 19:32UTC.

The DS keys were updated at 20:32UTC, which gave a window of about three hours for the outage on that domain, for which the outage is actually a full day, with service fully returning on 2025-09-21 20:32.</p> <p>Details in the GitLab incident <a href="https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/tpa/team/-/issues/42297">tpo/tpa/team#42297</a>.</p> https://torprojectstatus.org/issues/2022-12-07-dns/ Wed, 07 Dec 2022 03:15:00 +0000 https://torprojectstatus.org/issues/2022-12-07-dns/ 2022-12-08 18:30:00 We are currently experiencing a higher than normal load on our DNS infrastructure, and have received several reports of DNS resolution failures, especially from users of Google DNS. Update, 2022-12-08: We have deployed mitigations that appear to have successfully restored the service to usual levels.
