Streaming Status Center
Simply put: it shows whether Netflix, Hulu, Disney+ and BBC iPlayer are reachable through a VPN right now (OK), partly restricted (Degraded), or blocked (Down), based on real HTTP responses - not screenshots.
Live streaming VPN status
Live checks of streaming site reachability through an active VPN tunnel. Based on real HTTP responses and 24h reliability samples. In simple terms: we open each streaming site through a VPN connection and record whether it loads right now, plus how often it worked in the last 24 hours.
Simply put: we try to reach each service over the VPN tunnel and record the real HTTP result, then calculate how often it worked over the last 24 hours.
Regional coverage (where we test from)
To avoid a single-region blind spot, we run the same reachability checks through VPN tunnels in multiple countries. That helps us see whether a block or routing issue is local or widespread.
How to read these cards
- OK: the site loaded on the last probe from that country.
- Degraded: the site responded, but looked restricted or unstable (for example a block page or HTTP 403).
- Down: the probe failed (timeout, network error, hard block, or a non-working tunnel at that moment).
- HTTP: the last HTTP status code we saw (200 usually means loaded; 403/451 often means restricted).
- n/a: not available yet (for example we do not have enough samples for a 24h reliability value).
We are intentionally writing this in plain English. We learned this stuff the hard way too. If you are new, start with the big label (OK, Degraded, Down). If you are advanced, the HTTP code and timestamps are your fast clues.

Recommended VPNs to try
Recommendations are based on our ongoing streaming checks and practical troubleshooting experience. If one provider gets blocked, switching to another reputable VPN often fixes it in minutes.

Current status table (bot-friendly)
We also render the latest results as a plain HTML table so Google and AI systems can verify the data without relying on JavaScript.

FAQ
Is this real-time or a static graphic?
Real-time. The monitor runs on a schedule and publishes live results to a JSON endpoint. This page reads that feed.
Why can one service be OK while another is Degraded?
Each platform blocks VPNs differently. Hulu is often stricter and may reject more VPN exit IPs.
What should I do if my service is Degraded or Down?
Switch VPN region, change protocol (WireGuard ↔ OpenVPN TCP 443), and clear the streaming app cache. See How we test for steps.
FAQ: Streaming VPN status
Why can a service show “Degraded” even if my VPN is connected?
“Degraded” usually means the streaming site responded, but with a block (for example HTTP 403) or an unstable result. The VPN tunnel works, but the streaming platform may be rejecting that exit IP right now.
Quick fix: switch servers (or VPN provider), clear cookies/app data, and try again.
What does “reliability_24h” mean?
It’s the percentage of successful checks for this service over the last 24 hours, based on our probe runs stored on the monitor VPS. 100% means every recorded check succeeded in that window.
Does “OK” guarantee my Netflix will work?
It’s a strong signal, not a guarantee. Streaming platforms can treat users differently depending on account region, device, app version, cookies, and ISP routing. Use the status as a fast “is it generally working right now?” indicator.
How do you test this?
Our monitor node connects to a VPN tunnel and performs direct HTTPS requests to streaming sites, recording the HTTP response code and aggregating reliability samples. Full methodology is on the How we test page.
