What works

Each part of the service, checked from Syria.

Core useFails

GoFundMe could not be used from Syria at all: the domain itself returned a country block from Amazon CloudFront, so no fundraiser page could be opened.

Landing pageFails

gofundme.com did not open from a Syrian mobile connection: instead of the site, the browser showed a 403 error from Amazon CloudFront stating that the distribution is configured to block access from the visitor's country.
