High-vote services get prioritized for outreach
Blocked in Syria. Community testing in May 2026 confirmed that apkpure.com returns a Cloudflare style WAF block page from Syrian IP addresses, with the block enforced at the service firewall rather than the network. No outreach to the company has been made yet.
Investigated
Community testing confirmed that APKPure is blocked in Syria. Accessing apkpure.com from a Syrian IP returns a Cloudflare-style WAF block page reading «Sorry, you have been blocked. You are unable to access apkpure.com». The block is enforced at the service's WAF, not at the network level.
You can help change this. Syria's political situation has changed—all sanctions have been lifted. Many companies just haven't updated their policies yet. If you work at APKPure or know someone who does, share our resources with their legal or compliance team. Sometimes all it takes is one person asking the right question.
Tips for advocating: Reach out to legal, compliance, or policy teams. Reference the lifted sanctions. Point to competitors who have already unblocked Syria. Every voice matters.
