What works

Each part of the service, checked from Syria.

Core useWorks

A signed-in account in Syria created a new ebook and filled in its details with Draft2Digital's free formatting tools. Publishing it needs the paid activation, which is refused for Syria.

Landing pageWorks

The Draft2Digital homepage opened normally from a Syrian connection without a VPN.

Sign-upWorks

A new account was registered from Syria without a VPN: the signup form passed its Cloudflare check and the site sent the confirmation email.

Sign-inWorks

After confirming the email, the new account signed in from Syria and opened its book list.

PaymentFails

Publishing requires a one-time $20 activation fee. At checkout, choosing Syria as the billing country returned "Unfortunately, we are unable to support accounts from Syria," so the fee could not be paid and the account remains unable to publish.
