About VK
VK, formerly VKontakte, is the largest social network in Russia, with profiles, communities, music, video and messaging. The service is based in Russia, so its availability abroad depends on decisions in other countries: Ukraine, for example, has restricted Russian online services since 2017. A check by country shows where vk.com answers normally and where the connection is reset or times out.

Frequently asked questions
Is VK down right now?
Not for most of the world. In our latest check on 14 November 2026, 17:30 UTC vk.com opened from 79 of 81 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 VK not open in my country?
When vk.com 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 VK. 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 vk.com checked?
From measurement points in about 90 countries we look up the address of vk.com 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 We do not load the page content, and we do not publish which networks the measurements came from.
