Sound familiar?

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 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.ai, then Anthropic’s status page. If the page reports an outage and nothing on your side failed, it says “Claude is down for everyone, not you”. Free

  2. Claude 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 included

    Your own line: Wi-Fi, the router, your provider or DNS. Not Claude.

    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 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 still fails

    The path from your Mac to Claude: DNS, a VPN or proxy, IPv6, or the server’s answer.

    “Claude’s status page reports no problems”, then the layer that broke and what to try next. Free

Six links between you and Claude.

Claude loads only if every step works. A status page covers the last one; Kilobat checks the five before it too.

  1. Your MacA VPN, proxy or app in the way
  2. Wi-FiSignal, noise and band
  3. RouterLatency and loss to it
  4. ProviderLatency and loss beyond it
  5. DNSWhether claude.ai resolves, and how fast
  6. ClaudeAnthropic’s status page, read live

Why can’t it connect? Free

One check, both sides.

Name Claude 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.

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.

Kilobat matches apps and sites to the right status page by bundle ID and domain, so a failing Claude points at Anthropic’s status page, not a guess.

Status page

status.claude.com, run by Anthropic

On your Mac

The Claude app, by its bundle ID.

Sites and hosts

  • claude.ai
  • claude.com
  • anthropic.com

Counts only

  • claude.ai

Anthropic’s page splits claude.ai, Claude Code and the Claude API into components. Kilobat counts only claude.ai’s, so a Claude Code incident doesn’t read as claude.ai being down.

The same status page also covers Claude Code and Claude API.

Questions

Is Claude down right now?

The official answer is Anthropic’s status page, status.claude.com, which Anthropic’s team updates. The card at the top of this page reads it live in your browser and repeats only what it says.

Why does Claude 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 works there, your network is the problem. Kilobat checks each of these and names the one that failed.

What does Kilobat check for Claude?

Connections from the Claude app, and the sites claude.ai, claude.com, anthropic.com, matched to Anthropic’s status page, counting only its component claude.ai. It checks your own line first, then asks the page.

Will Kilobat tell me when Claude has an outage?

Yes. When Claude 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?

Anthropic’s page splits claude.ai, Claude Code and the Claude API into components. Kilobat counts only claude.ai’s, so a Claude Code incident doesn’t read as claude.ai being down.

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.

Is it free?

Yes: the status checks, the notifications and Why can’t it connect? are free. Kilobat Pro, $29 once, adds findings with a fix for your own network, possible causes of call freezes and history.
