How do I check if my internet is working?

Visit isinternetup.com — if you can see the page, your internet is working. The site also runs diagnostics including DNS resolution, latency, speed tests, and more to give you a full picture of your connection health.

What is a WebRTC leak test?

A WebRTC leak test checks if your real IP address is exposed through your browser's WebRTC feature, even when using a VPN. This is important for privacy — if WebRTC leaks your local IP, websites can see your real address despite VPN protection.

How can I tell if my VPN is working?

The VPN Detection Hint compares your browser's geolocation with the location your IP address reports. If these are far apart (more than 100 km), it suggests a VPN or proxy is active. A match means your reported location is consistent.

What is my IP address?

Your IP address is displayed automatically when you visit isinternetup.com. The site detects whether you're using IPv4 or IPv6 and shows your approximate location based on your IP.

What TLS version is my browser using?

isinternetup.com detects and displays your TLS version automatically. Modern browsers typically use TLS 1.3 with HTTP/2 or HTTP/3. TLS 1.3 provides the best security and performance.

Internet Status — May 8, 2026: Scattered Incidents, AWS US-EAST-1 Recovering

The internet is largely operational on May 8, 2026, with several notable but contained incidents and no widespread global outage.

AWS reported a thermal (power/cooling) event in the US-EAST-1 region affecting availability zone use1-az4, which caused EC2 and EBS impairment for several hours. The incident briefly disrupted platforms including Coinbase, CME Group, and FanDuel. AWS restored additional cooling capacity, racks were recovered, and affected services are back online.

OpenAI is investigating elevated latency on the gpt-5.5 API; mitigations have been applied and error rates are trending down. Cloudflare is monitoring a fix for a Wrangler logout issue and is running scheduled maintenance in its Düsseldorf (DUS) data center, which may add minor latency for that region. Slack reports extended downtime affecting scheduled Grid migrations. Twilio has multiple regional SMS delivery delays affecting routes to KPN Netherlands, Orange Madagascar, Google Voice US short codes, and parts of Europe (Romania, Serbia, Poland, Bosnia, Cabo Verde).

Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure, GitHub, Discord, Akamai, Vercel, DigitalOcean, and Atlassian all report no active incidents. No major BGP, DNS, or undersea cable disruptions are currently affecting core internet routing. Localized US ISP reports for Frontier appeared overnight but are limited in scope.

Overall: the internet is up, with isolated provider-level incidents that operators are actively working through.
