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 — February 16, 2026: X Suffers Major Outage; AWS, Cloudflare, and Fastly Report Issues

Multiple notable incidents are affecting internet services today.

X (formerly Twitter) experienced a major global outage beginning around 8:00 AM ET, with over 41,000 reports on Downdetector at its peak. Users worldwide saw blank timelines, failed logins, and "Something went wrong" error messages on both mobile and desktop. As of approximately 10:00 AM ET, the platform is recovering, with outage reports dropping below 1,000. No official explanation for the cause has been provided.

AWS saw a spike in service disruption reports starting around 4:46 PM, with nearly 100 incident reports logged within minutes. The timing closely mirrors the X outage, suggesting a possible shared infrastructure dependency. AWS has not confirmed the specific cause.

Cloudflare reported increased latency affecting HTTP requests processed in its Newark data center. Partial outages were also observed in data centers across Africa, Asia, and South America, including Accra, Dar es Salaam, and Bogota. Scheduled maintenance is underway in the Bangalore and Sofia data centers.

Fastly is experiencing a partial outage affecting Asia-Pacific data centers, including Singapore and Tokyo. Other regions remain operational.

Azure, Google Cloud, GitHub, and OpenAI report no significant incidents as of this writing. Akamai resolved an incident on February 10 and is operating normally.

Overall, while several major platforms and infrastructure providers are experiencing issues, these appear to be separate incidents rather than a coordinated internet-wide disruption. Most affected services are in recovery or partially degraded.
