## About

Online English tutoring platform connecting learners with native-speaking teachers via video calls

## Activity summary

Blocked in Syria, verified in February 2026, when testing from Syrian connections returned a connection-refused error and the site would not load. A community volunteer emailed the company that same month requesting restoration and citing the 2025 lifting of US and EU sanctions, but no response from the company is on record.

## Community reports

- 2026-02-16 — Contacted Company. A community volunteer sent an outreach email to Cambly at help@cambly.com requesting restoration of access for users in Syria. The email referenced the 2025 OFAC General License and EU sanctions lift, highlighting the importance of English language learning tools for Syrian users.
- 2026-02-16 — Investigated. Tested from Syria on macOS desktop using Chrome. Cambly.com returns ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED with the message "www.cambly.com refused to connect." The service actively refuses connections from Syrian IP addresses.

## 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. See https://unblocksyria.com/llms.txt for the regulatory summary and https://unblocksyria.com/en/about for citations to the specific orders and regulations.
