What should I do if AdGuard VPN is down for me?

Check whether the app still works with the tool disabled. A password manager or VPN sitting in the request path fails in ways that look like the site being down. Sign out and back in. Most of these tools hold a session token that expires quietly and returns errors rather than a login prompt. Switch server or region if the tool offers one. A single overloaded endpoint is far more common than a whole service failing. Update the browser extension and the desktop app separately. They ship on different release trains and an old extension breaks against a new backend.
