## Activity summary

Blocked in Syria. Community testing in April 2026 confirmed that the Amazon Lex marketing page loads, but the console returns an AWS Access Restricted geo-block, signing into an existing account hits the same page, and new account creation fails at the password step with a Website Temporarily Unavailable error. The block has been verified by community reports, with no outreach to the company recorded for Lex yet.

## Community reports

- 2026-04-04 — Investigated. Community testing confirmed that Amazon Lex remains blocked in Syria. The commercial landing page at aws.amazon.com/lex/ loads successfully, but clicking "Get Started with Amazon Lex" redirects to console.aws.amazon.com/lex/home, which returns an AWS "Access Restricted" geo-block page stating the user appears to be in a country where AWS does not provide services. Signing into an existing AWS account redirects to the same "Access Restricted" page at console.aws.amazon.com/console/home. Account registration proceeds through email verification but fails at the password creation step, where clicking "Continue (step 1 of 5)" redirects to portal.aws.amazon.com/billing/signup with a "Website Temporarily Unavailable" error.

## 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.
