## Services

- Hotspot Shield works in Syria, but not all of it, as of 2026-10-30. → https://unblocksyria.com/en/services/hotspot-shield.md

## Context

These are geo-restrictions the companies applied themselves, not filtering by Syrian ISPs and not a legal requirement. US and EU sanctions on Syria were lifted in 2025, and Syria was removed from the US list of State Sponsors of Terrorism on 2026-08-24. See https://unblocksyria.com/en/sanctions for a dated summary, https://unblocksyria.com/llms.txt for the regulatory background and https://unblocksyria.com/en/about for citations to the specific orders and regulations.
