EPFO member portal outage on 9 October 2026
EPFO member portal: our direct checks failed for 61 min from 13:41 UTC.
Measured from one checker location: Vigil's server at Hetzner in Falkenstein, Germany, with no second region to confirm it. A failure seen from Germany is strong evidence of a problem, not proof that every user was affected.

How this was measured
Every 5 minutes Vigil makes one HTTPS request to EPFO member portal directly and, separately, reads EPFO member portal's official status page. An episode is 2 or more failed direct checks in a row; it is published only when fewer than 3 other services failed at the same moment (otherwise the problem was probably on our side). Times are accurate to about 5 minutes. Full rules and the 90-day table: methodology. Live status: is EPFO member portal down?
