Restart the launcher, turn the VPN off and allow it through the firewall. If the store is down for everyone, the launcher can’t connect either.

How does Uptimecheck check Epic Games?
We request https://store.epicgames.com/ every 2 minutes from London, New York and Stockholm. Any answer below HTTP 500 within 10 seconds counts as up, since large sites often answer automated requests with 403. A failure only counts once a second check confirms it.
