See Discord’s status page live, then tell an outage from your own Wi-Fi, DNS or network, with Kilobat’s free Mac checks." --- Is it down? · Calls and chat # Is Discord down right now? The card here reads Discord’s status page live. If it reports no problems, the fault is probably on your side, and Kilobat finds where.

If nothing appears, open the page below. [Open discordstatus.com ↗](https://discordstatus.com) ## Sound familiar? - “Is Discord down, or is it just me?” - “Discord won’t load, but everything else does.” - “The Discord call froze and I can’t tell whose fault it is.” - “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 Discord fails; everything else loads An outage at Discord, 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 discord.com, then Discord’s status page. If the page reports an outage and nothing on your side failed, it says “Discord is down for everyone, not you”. Free: 2. ### Discord 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, Discord included Your own line: Wi-Fi, the router, your provider or DNS. Not Discord. 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. ### A Discord call froze, and everyone froze with you Trouble beyond your router, on the path to Discord’s servers. Each call’s card says whether Discord’s status page reported an outage at the time. Pro adds the possible causes of the freezes. Free: 5. ### Discord’s status page is green, but Discord still fails The path from your Mac to Discord: DNS, a VPN or proxy, IPv6, or the server’s answer. “Discord’s status page reports no problems”, then the layer that broke and what to try next. Free: ## Six links between you and Discord. Discord 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 discord.com resolves, and how fast 6. **Discord**Discord’s status page, read live Why can’t it connect? Free: ## One check, both sides. Name Discord and Kilobat checks your Wi-Fi, DNS, VPN and proxy, the connection and the server’s answer, then asks Discord’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? Discord’s status page $ kilobat down discord # Or me? Every layer from this Mac to Discord $ kilobat why discord.com ``` **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 Discord. Kilobat matches apps and sites to the right status page by bundle ID and domain, so a failing Discord points at Discord’s status page, not a guess. ### Status page [discordstatus.com](https://discordstatus.com) ### On your Mac The Discord app, by its bundle ID. ### Sites and hosts - `discord.com` - `discord.gg` - `discordapp.com` - `discordapp.net` - `discord.media` ## What’s free, and what Pro adds ### Free, for good Free: - Is it them or me? Status pages for 72 services, Discord included - The outage at the top of Health, and in a connection check - A notification per outage while an app keeps failing - Whether the calling service had an outage, on every call card - `kilobat down`, `kilobat why` and the MCP tool `service_status` - Blocked on this network, or not available in your region, said as measured ### Pro, $29 once Pro: - Findings with a fix for router, DNS and login-page trouble - Possible causes of call freezes - Outage and latency history for your own line - Signal radar and channel crowding Pro is $29 once for two Macs, with a 7-day free trial and 14-day refunds. [Free for students](https://kilobat.app/students). ## Questions **Is Discord down right now?** The official answer is Discord’s status page, [discordstatus.com](https://discordstatus.com), which Discord’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 Discord work for other people but not for me?** When Discord’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 Discord works there, your network is the problem. Kilobat checks each of these and names the one that failed. **What does Kilobat check for Discord?** Connections from the Discord app, and the sites discord.com, discord.gg, discordapp.com and more, matched to Discord’s status page. It checks your own line first, then asks the page. **Will Kilobat tell me when Discord has an outage?** Yes. When Discord keeps failing to connect while your own line is fine, and Discord’s status page reports trouble, you get one notification per incident. Turn it off in Settings. **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. ## Other services Kilobat checks - [Is Zoom down?](https://kilobat.app/is-zoom-down) - [Is Slack down?](https://kilobat.app/is-slack-down) - [Is Microsoft Teams down?](https://kilobat.app/is-microsoft-teams-down) - [Is Google Meet down?](https://kilobat.app/is-google-meet-down) - [Is GoTo Meeting down?](https://kilobat.app/is-gotomeeting-down) - [Is FaceTime down?](https://kilobat.app/is-facetime-down) - [Is iMessage down?](https://kilobat.app/is-imessage-down) [All 72 services, live](https://kilobat.app/service-status) · [How Kilobat tells an outage from your connection](https://kilobat.app/is-it-down) · [Slow internet on a Mac](https://kilobat.app/slow-internet-mac) ## Sources - [Discord’s status page](https://discordstatus.com) - [Discord’s status page: the feed Kilobat reads](https://discordstatus.com/api/v2/summary.json) Checked on 6 November 2026. ## Next time Discord stalls, know whose problem it is.
