Is it my connection?” - “Should I restart the router, or wait it out?” ## Your connection, or their outage? What you notice says a lot about which side the problem is on. Kilobat checks both sides and says which. 1. ### Only Claude Code fails; everything else loads An outage at Anthropic, or something on the path to it only: DNS, a VPN or proxy, a blocked host. Why can’t it connect? checks every layer to Claude Code, then Anthropic’s status page. If the page reports an outage and nothing on your side failed, it says “Claude Code is down for everyone, not you”. Free: 2. ### Claude Code fails on this network, but works on mobile data This network: an office, school, hotel or country rule, or its DNS. Kilobat compares this network’s DNS with one encrypted lookup and tests the secure connection, then says “looks blocked on this network, not down”, with what it measured. Free: 3. ### Everything is slow, Claude Code included Your own line: Wi-Fi, the router, your provider or DNS. Not Claude Code. Router and internet latency side by side show whether your own line is slow. Pro names the failing link, Wi-Fi, router, internet or DNS, with a fix. Free: Pro: 4. ### Requests to Claude Code keep failing in the background An outage at Anthropic, while your line is fine. One notification per incident, such as “Claude Code: Anthropic reports an outage — not your connection”, and the MCP tool `service_status` for agents. Free: 5. ### Anthropic’s status page is green, but Claude Code still fails The path from your Mac to Claude Code: DNS, a VPN or proxy, IPv6, or the server’s answer. “Claude Code’s status page reports no problems”, then the layer that broke and what to try next. Free: ## Six links between you and Claude Code. Claude Code loads only if every step works. A status page covers the last one; Kilobat checks the five before it too. 1. **Your Mac**A VPN, proxy or app in the way 2. **Wi-Fi**Signal, noise and band 3. **Router**Latency and loss to it 4. **Provider**Latency and loss beyond it 5. **DNS**Whether Claude Code resolves, and how fast 6. **Claude Code**Anthropic’s status page, read live Why can’t it connect? Free: ## One check, both sides. Name Claude Code and Kilobat checks your Wi-Fi, DNS, VPN and proxy, the connection and the server’s answer, then asks Anthropic’s status page. When the page reports an outage and nothing on your side failed, the verdict leads with it. When your Mac is the problem, it says so first. Terminal ``` # Is it them? Anthropic’s status page $ kilobat down claude-code ``` **Why can’t it connect?** Kilobat tests the request and path the app itself uses, its own proxy, IPv6 and tunnels included, and names the layer that broke. What Kilobat watches ## How Kilobat knows it’s Claude Code. Kilobat matches apps and sites to the right status page by bundle ID and domain, so a failing Claude Code points at Anthropic’s status page, not a guess. ### Status page [status.claude.com](https://status.claude.com), run by Anthropic ### On your Mac The `claude` process. ### Counts only - Claude Code Anthropic’s page splits claude.ai, Claude Code and the Claude API into components. Kilobat counts only Claude Code’s. The same status page also covers [Claude](https://kilobat.app/is-claude-down) and [Claude API](https://kilobat.app/is-claude-api-down). If Claude Code won’t connect ## What Claude Code needs from your network. Claude Code needs a handful of Anthropic hosts, and reads your proxy from the environment. - `api.anthropic.com` for the model, `claude.ai`, `claude.com` and `platform.claude.com` for sign-in, and `downloads.claude.ai` for updates. Installing with npm needs `registry.npmjs.org`. - It honours `HTTPS_PROXY`, `HTTP_PROXY` and `NO_PROXY`, but not SOCKS proxies. A company certificate goes in `NODE_EXTRA_CA_CERTS`. - `claude --debug` or `/status` shows whether the proxy and certificates loaded. [`registry.npmjs.org`The npm public registry, where npm downloads JavaScript packages by default.](https://kilobat.app/hosts/registry-npmjs-org) From Anthropic’s own help pages, listed under Sources. Kilobat’s [guides](https://kilobat.app/guides) cover DNS, VPN and proxy trouble on a Mac. ## What’s free, and what Pro adds ### Free, for good Free: - Is it them or me?

The card at the top of this page reads it live in your browser and repeats only what it says. **Why does Claude Code work for other people but not for me?** When Anthropic’s status page reports no problems, the cause is usually on your side or on the way: your Wi-Fi or router, your provider, DNS, a VPN or proxy, or a network that blocks it. Try mobile data: if Claude Code works there, your network is the problem. Kilobat checks each of these and names the one that failed. **What does Kilobat check for Claude Code?** Connections from the claude process, matched to Anthropic’s status page, counting only its component Claude Code. It checks your own line first, then asks the page. **Will Kilobat tell me when Claude Code has an outage?** Yes. When Claude Code keeps failing to connect while your own line is fine, and Anthropic’s status page reports trouble, you get one notification per incident. Turn it off in Settings. **Does Anthropic’s status page cover all of Claude Code?** Anthropic’s page splits claude.ai, Claude Code and the Claude API into components. Kilobat counts only Claude Code’s. **Does it send anything about me?** No. It sends a plain request to the status page, with no cookies and nothing about you, your network or your apps. Read the [privacy notice](https://kilobat.app/privacy). **Is it free?** Yes: the status checks, the notifications and Why can’t it connect? are free.
