## About

Cybersecurity software offering antivirus, endpoint protection, and internet security for personal and business use

## Activity summary

Partially blocked in Syria. Community testing in March 2026 found the main website reachable, but ESET's update and license verification servers return a regional block from the CDN, preventing software updates and license activation. No outreach to the company has been made yet.

## Community reports

- 2026-03-11 — Investigated. Community testing confirmed that ESET's update and license verification servers are blocked in Syria. The main website (eset.com) remains accessible, but attempting to reach backend infrastructure returns an Amazon CloudFront 403 error indicating the distribution is configured to block access from the user's country. This prevents software updates and license activation. (evidence: https://api.unblocksyria.com/files/evidence/vdcgmotmsrmu3ne3j0peglt9/uh9r491d0xiap5r9q7jb80mv-screenshot-2026-03-12-002636.png)

## 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.
