Here are the files we are using in production.

Hi,
Very sorry for the issues you'll have been having this morning. Everything is back to normal now and you should be able to access the CDN as normal. DNS will need to propagate so it is possible you might need to flush the cache, or wait a short while.

Please advise if we should use cdn.datatables.net or datatables-cdn.com. Thanks.
Thx Allan,
Is there always problem with some links ?
like :
https://cdn.datatables.net/datetime/1.1.2/index.html (403 Forbidden)
or :
https://cdn.datatables.net/rowgroup/1.3.0/index.html
Thanks for your work.
Just to let you know we're now getting CORS errors on cdn.datatables.net as at 14:15BST. Have reverted back to datatables-cdn.com for the time being which seems to be OK.
Pretty sure this isn't an issue with us as multiple users affected on different connections etc., but happy to be proven wrong.
Sorry you're having a bad day Allan, totally understand situations like these.
It's not just you. We've had problems to.
thanks @allan
Still having trouble here too.
We switched to the mirrored version. The CDN is still having issues and timeouts. Is there any risk this going to happen with the mirrored version?
Is it safer in future to just self-host and not use the CDN?
I strongly suspect those still having issues might have some HTTP caching happening somewhere in front of them. It appears to be operational as normal for all of the networks that I can access and I've had reports that URLs which couldn't be loaded last night are now loading. Which URL specifically are you looking at?
No more or less than the main one. Unfortunately, putting anything on the web seems to make one a target, even when trying to do some good in the world like releasing most of my work as open source!
That is 100% up to you. The CDN has the advantage that you don't need to maintain it or pay for the bandwidth, but it also means you are relying on a third party (i.e. me). The DataTables CDN, historically, has very good up time and I've put a lot of work into trying to make sure that is the case. Unfortunately the attack vector used that caused yesterday's outage couldn't be mitigated by all that work - it was a proper rug pull!

Thanks for the response.
This is the URL that won't load (likewise with the Javascript):
https://cdn.datatables.net/v/bs4/jszip-3.10.1/dt-2.0.8/af-2.7.0/b-3.0.2/b-colvis-3.0.2/b-html5-3.0.2/b-print-3.0.2/cr-2.0.3/fc-5.0.1/fh-4.0.1/kt-2.12.1/r-3.0.2/rg-1.5.0/rr-1.5.0/sc-2.4.3/sl-2.0.3/sr-1.4.1/datatables.min.css
I've verified on some different machines.
The plugin has been invaluable to us and we've had no issues to date. There are some terrible people out there.
Many thanks. Is that one timing out or giving some other error? I've just tried it on two different source networks (ADSL and Mobile) and it loads okay for me. My guess is you've got some HTTP cache in front of you (which would explain why it is the same for two machines, assuming they are on the same network). Try adding a query parameter at the end of the URL - e.g. like this.
