Update

We have identified that the connectivity issues affecting the Mexico region are due to a fiber cut in the area. To ensure service stability, we have temporarily adjusted our traffic routing for this location.

While this action minimizes the impact for most users, some may still experience intermittent access issues when visiting certain location-sensitive websites. Our team is working to repair the connection and restore full service as quickly as possible.

We appreciate your patience and understanding as we work to improve your Cisco Umbrella experience.

Identified

We are taking the MEX1 EDC site in Mexico out of rotation due to ongoing issues impacting anycast services, including DNS and Secure Web Gateway.

This action is expected to mitigate most customer impact for traffic routed through this location. Some users may experience geo-blocking when accessing location-sensitive websites, including certain banking or government websites.

Our engineering teams continue to monitor the service and work with carrier providers to restore normal resiliency. Updates and additional details will be provided as new information becomes available.
