About Blackout Map

Blackout Map (blackoutmap.net) is a free, independent website that shows the state of the internet in every country, live. Every 5 minutes it checks 5,843 hosts in 237 countries and territories, and combines these measurements with routing and probing data from IODA at Georgia Tech. It also checks whether websites and internet providers can be reached, and tracks power outages that take networks down.
