## Activity summary

Blocked in Syria, confirmed by community testing in March 2026: the Route 53 marketing page loads, but the AWS Console returns a 400 Access Restricted error for Syrian users, and Syria is missing from the expert contact form. The block has been verified, but no outreach to the company has been made yet.

## Community reports

- 2026-03-28 — Verified. Community testing confirmed that Amazon Route 53 remains blocked in Syria. The commercial landing page at aws.amazon.com/route53 loads successfully, but clicking "Get started with Route 53" redirects to console.aws.amazon.com/route53 where AWS returns a 400 status code with "Access Restricted — Your access is being restricted because you appear to be located in a country or region where we do not provide services." The "Connect with an expert" button leads to a contact form, but Syria is not listed in the country dropdown.

## 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.
