Frequently asked questions
Is Meduza down right now?
Not for most of the world. In our latest check on 13 November 2026, 17:28 UTC meduza.io opened from 85 of 88 countries. If it does not open for you, the cause is more likely local: your provider, your network or a restriction in your country. Run a new check to see the current result for your country.
Why does Meduza not open in my country?
When meduza.io works in other countries but not in yours, there are three usual reasons: a restriction ordered by authorities, filtering by your provider, or a network problem between your provider and Meduza. A different security certificate, a reset connection or a wrong address from DNS are typical signs of filtering; a timeout can be either filtering or a network fault.
How is meduza.io checked?
From measurement points in about 90 countries we look up the address of meduza.io with the local DNS and open a secure connection to it, checking that the site returns its own certificate. We do not load the page content, and we do not publish which networks the measurements came from.
