## Community reports

- 2026-05-06 — Investigated. Community testing confirmed that Ballwool is blocked in Syria. Accessing ballwool.com from a Syrian IP returns a Cloudflare WAF block page reading «Sorry, you have been blocked — You are unable to access ballwool.com». The submitter provided a comparison screenshot taken via VPN showing the site loads normally and presents an active e-commerce storefront, confirming the block is geographic rather than a site-wide outage.

## 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.
