On: Is Facebook down?

[pdknsk]

If it's down for you, try these IPs, to check whether is a DNS problem.

Querying Facebook's DNS servers directly shows something is definitely wrong:

  $ dig +short @b.ns.facebook.com www.facebook.com
  star.facebook.com.
  $ dig +short @b.ns.facebook.com star.facebook.com
  $

Yup, that worked. However it's pretty useless as nobody else is online :)

Works when adding these to hosts in the Netherlands. Pretty funny, almost everyone offline :O

It's back up for me in the Netherlands after doing ipconfig /flushdns in console, fwiw.

facebook.com redirects to www.facebook.com which in turn does not resolve.

You can add those IPs as "www.facebook.com" in your hosts file and then the site becomes accessible.

Doesn't work for me. Facebook still not loading in Germany.
