What works

Each part of the service, checked from Syria.

Core useWorks

The Arc Android app installed from Google Play and browsed normally from Syria with Google as the search engine, but a search through Arc's own engine returned "Loading Error: There was a problem with your query." The reporter says the desktop version cannot be downloaded because arc.net is blocked.

Landing pageFails

Opening arc.net in a desktop browser from Syria returned a Cloudflare "Sorry, you have been blocked" page instead of the website.

Sign-upFails

The reporter says account creation could not be reached from Syria: the mobile app needs the desktop version for accounts and sync, and the desktop version cannot be downloaded because arc.net is blocked.

Sign-inFails

The reporter says signing in could not be reached from Syria: the mobile app needs the desktop version for sign-in and sync, and the desktop version cannot be downloaded because arc.net is blocked.
