Amnezia Pulse maps internet disruptions: how to read the signals

If a website stops loading, it helps to know whether other people on the same network are having trouble. Amnezia Pulse puts regional internet disruption reports on a public map, with dates and operator details you can use as a starting point.

Amnezia announced the updated public service in its October release post. Pulse had already supplied data for its earlier blocking digests. The useful change is a public interface for exploring those signals, alongside the team’s written reports.

Open the Amnezia Pulse map to check a region. Reading it does not require buying Amnezia Premium. A reported disruption also does not tell you that a particular VPN will work there.

Check the legend before interpreting the color

In the public interface checked on 2 November, the overview legend counts shutdowns recorded over the last 30 days: none, one or two, or three or more. A colored region therefore needs a date check. It is not, by itself, a verdict on whether your connection is working at this moment.

1. Select your region on the map or through the region control.
2. Choose an incident date and read the operator or network label attached to it.
3. Compare that information with the connection you are using, including mobile data versus home internet.
4. Open the incident details rather than treating the overview color as a diagnosis.

A region can contain several networks with different routes. An entry for one mobile operator does not establish an outage across every home and mobile connection there.

A dated example from Krasnodar Krai

During our interface check on 2 November 2026, the latest-incidents list included Krasnodarskiy kray, 02.11.2026, MTS. Selecting it opened a region view headed “Shutdowns: Krasnodarskiy kray,” with a calendar and a downloadable incident chart. You can open that dated region view directly.

The entry identifies a region, a date and an operator. It does not establish that every MTS user was offline or that the incident continued after the selected date. When using an entry later, check its date and the current view again.

What Amnezia measures, and what can be missing

Amnezia’s May methodology description says it compares successful and unsuccessful Free and Premium connections with normal behavior over the previous 14 days, grouped by region, operator and network type in five-minute intervals. That is the team’s published description of its method; the current map should be read with its own labels and coverage in mind.

The public-release explanation also describes monitoring connection stability and transfer speed. Amnezia says it processes anonymized region, provider and speed data without collecting users’ IP addresses.

Coverage depends on the connections the service can observe. A blank or quiet area cannot establish that everyone there has unrestricted internet. The measurement service can have problems too: Amnezia’s June digest says an attack on its services affected Pulse and prevented publication of its original data that month.

The release post describes a researcher API as forthcoming. Use the public map and published reports for now; that announcement does not establish an available API.

Match the next step to the failure

If ordinary websites work but one service fails, check that service’s status and account requirements. A VPN may change the route around a network block if it can still reach its server. If both websites and VPN connections fail on one network, compare another available connection before buying a replacement subscription.

A VPN needs an underlying internet path. It cannot restore a completely disconnected network. For a connection that is available but filters VPN traffic, our unblocking assistant helps choose a troubleshooting step, and our AmneziaWG explanation covers protocol differences and their limits.
