Confirmed that ArtStation remains blocked from Syria. Accessing www.artstation.com displays an Epic Games "Access Denied" block page (ArtStation is owned by Epic Games). The page shows a session ID and the user's IP address, indicating IP-based geo-blocking at Epic Games' infrastructure 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 ArtStation 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.
