## Activity summary

Blocked in Syria. Community testing in April 2026 confirmed that the Amazon OpenSearch Service marketing page loads, but the AWS sales contact form does not list Syria among its countries and new AWS account signup returns a Website Temporarily Unavailable error, blocking access to the service. The block has been verified by community reports, with no outreach to the company recorded for OpenSearch yet.

## 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.
