lvs on Ask HN: Is Signal Down?

DNS is resolving to 127.0.0.1

  wget https://textsecure-service.whispersystems.org/v1/config
  --2021-01-15 11:55:13--  https://textsecure-service.whispersystems.org/v1/config
  Resolving textsecure-service.whispersystems.org (textsecure-service.whispersystems.org)... 127.0.0.1
  Connecting to textsecure-service.whispersystems.org (textsecure-service.whispersystems.org)|127.0.0.1|:443... failed: Connection refused.

Edit: Looking at the logs, it went down before the DNS started resolving to loopback. This may be part of a mitigation.

Not every dns requests returns 127.0.0.1. It might be a mitigation for some kind of DDOS or something else...
