## Sound familiar?

- “Is Cursor down, or is it just me?”
- “Cursor won’t load, but everything else does.”
- “Cursor keeps retrying. 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 Cursor fails; everything else loads

   An outage at Cursor, 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 api2.cursor.sh, then Cursor’s status page. If the page reports an outage and nothing on your side failed, it says “Cursor is down for everyone, not you”. Free:
2. ### Cursor 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, Cursor included

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

   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 Cursor keep failing in the background

   An outage at Cursor, 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. ### Cursor’s status page is green, but Cursor still fails

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

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

## Six links between you and Cursor.

Cursor 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 api2.cursor.sh resolves, and how fast
6. **Cursor**Cursor’s status page, read live

Why can’t it connect? Free:

## One check, both sides.

Name Cursor and Kilobat checks your Wi-Fi, DNS, VPN and proxy, the connection and the server’s answer, then asks Cursor’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? Cursor’s status page
$ kilobat down cursor
# Or me? Every layer from this Mac to Cursor
$ kilobat why api2.cursor.sh
```

**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 Cursor.

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

### Status page

[status.cursor.com](https://status.cursor.com)

### On your Mac

The Cursor app, by its bundle ID.

### Sites and hosts

- `cursor.com`
- `cursor.sh`
- `cursorapi.com`
- `api2.cursor.sh`

### Counts only

- IDE
- Cloud Agents
- cursor.com

status.cursor.com forwards to the feed of Cursor’s page, hosted on status.x.ai.

The same status page also covers [Cursor CLI](https://kilobat.app/is-cursor-cli-down).

If Cursor won’t connect

## What Cursor needs from your network.

Cursor talks to its own hosts, and some company proxies handle its HTTP/2 traffic badly.

- Allow `cursor.com`, `*.cursor.com`, `*.cursor.sh`, `*.cursorapi.com`, `*.cursor-cdn.com` and `*.cursorvm.com`.
- Run the diagnostics in Cursor Settings › Network. Behind a proxy such as Zscaler, set HTTP Compatibility Mode to HTTP/1.1 and restart Cursor.
- After DNS trouble on a VPN, quit and reopen Cursor; reloading the window isn’t enough.

From Cursor’s own help pages, listed under Sources. Kilobat’s [guides](https://kilobat.app/guides) cover DNS, VPN and proxy trouble on a Mac.

## Questions

**Is Cursor down right now?**

The official answer is Cursor’s status page, [status.cursor.com](https://status.cursor.com), which Cursor’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 Cursor work for other people but not for me?**

When Cursor’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 Cursor works there, your network is the problem. Kilobat checks each of these and names the one that failed.

**What does Kilobat check for Cursor?**

Connections from the Cursor app, and the sites cursor.com, cursor.sh, cursorapi.com, matched to Cursor’s status page, counting only the components IDE, Cloud Agents, cursor.com. It checks your own line first, then asks the page.

**Will Kilobat tell me when Cursor has an outage?**

Yes. When Cursor keeps failing to connect while your own line is fine, and Cursor’s status page reports trouble, you get one notification per incident. Turn it off in Settings.

**Does Cursor’s status page cover all of Cursor?**

status.cursor.com forwards to the feed of Cursor’s page, hosted on status.x.ai.

**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. Kilobat Pro, $29 once, adds findings with a fix for your own network, possible causes of call freezes and history.
