What works

Each part of the service, checked from Syria.

Core useFails

Trading on Bitstamp was not possible from Syria. The site itself was blocked on a Syrian connection, and when it was reached through a VPN, registration was refused as soon as Syria was chosen as the country of residence, so a user in Syria could not use the exchange.

Landing pageFails

From a Syrian connection, www.bitstamp.net did not load: the security service in front of the site returned an "Access Denied" page (Error 16) instead of the homepage.

Sign-upFails

Sign-up was refused for residents of Syria. With a VPN the registration form opened and Syria (Syrian Arab Republic) was offered as a country of residence, but selecting it returned "Sorry, Bitstamp isn't in your area yet" and the account could not be created.
