Is anyone else having issues connecting to https://pilot-payflowlink.paypal.com for hosted checkout?  It looks like this has been down for a couple of days now.

Same problem since ~4:00pm yesterday.   IE:  

This might be because the site uses outdated or unsafe TLS security settings. If this keeps happening, try contacting the website’s owner.
 
Chrome:  ERR_CONNECTION_CLOSED

We are forcing tls 1.2 or greater.  This is failing from both localhost testing and from our test environment hosted on Azure.

We are forcing TLS 1.2 in code (C#), but I don't think we are if you just go to the site in IE or Chrome.

This is still happening this morning. It works one minute, but it fails to connect the next. It fails to connect far more frequently than it succeeds.

Site seems to be working now, Got this back from Paypal Support:

 

Hopefully this issue should be resolved now permanently. Our application team stated they were undergoing a migration effort and the older endpoint names were still in rotation. Occasionally, our load balancer would route an incoming call through a box that doesn't exist and hence the inconsistency you were experiencing.
