What works

Each part of the service, checked from Syria.

Core useWorks

Burp Suite Community Edition ran on a Windows computer in Syria without a VPN: with interception on, the proxy caught a request to portswigger.net and showed its contents. The tester says requests could be read and modified and the built-in browser worked.

Landing pageWorks

The tester says the Burp Suite pages on portswigger.net opened from Syria without problems.

Sign-upFails

A tester in Syria reported that creating an account runs through the same login.portswigger.net host that refused the request, so a VPN was needed to register. No separate frame of the sign-up step was supplied.

Sign-inFails

Signing in from Syria failed: login.portswigger.net returned an "Access denied" page saying the request had been blocked to protect the requested service, instead of the sign-in form.

PaymentFails

A licence could not be bought from Syria: the order form requires a postal address, and its country list runs from Switzerland straight to Taiwan with no entry for Syria.
