UPD July 14, 13:00 UTC: The domain was restored.
Telegram users worldwide have encountered an outage: short t.me links have stopped opening in regular browsers. The problem affects users in the entire world.
At the same time, within the mobile and desktop Telegram clients themselves, clicks on links are processed correctly, and redirects work without any problems. As a temporary alternative for posting on external resources, you can use telegram.me links.
Technical details
At the moment, the exact causes of the incident remain unknown.
According to WHOIS data, the t.me domain has been completely removed from the DNS zone by the administration of the .me domain registry.
This status is set not by the registrar (GoDaddy), but directly by the main operator of the domain zone — the Montenegrin company doMEn d.o.o., which manages the entire
.me zone. This organization is a joint venture of Identity Digital, GoDaddy, and ME-net.#outages #bans
