## About

Managed virtual desktop infrastructure accessible from any device securely

## Activity summary

Blocked in Syria, confirmed by community testing in March 2026. The product landing page loads, but starting Amazon WorkSpaces redirects to the AWS console, which returns a 400 "Access Restricted" page for users in unsupported regions, and the sales contact form excludes Syria. No outreach to the company has been made yet.

## Community reports

- 2026-03-28 — Verified. Community testing confirmed that Amazon WorkSpaces remains blocked in Syria. The commercial landing page at aws.amazon.com/workspaces loads successfully, but clicking "Get started" redirects to us-east-1.console.aws.amazon.com/workspaces/v2/home 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 "Contact a specialist" button leads to a contact form at aws.amazon.com/contact-us/sales-support-workspaces, but Syria is not listed in the Country/Region 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. See https://unblocksyria.com/llms.txt for the regulatory summary and https://unblocksyria.com/en/about for citations to the specific orders and regulations.
