Activity Summary

Limited in Syria. The main website became accessible after a volunteer's outreach in February 2026, but Hedra says sign-in and sign-up still fail because its authentication provider, WorkOS, geo-blocks Syria, and the company has no way to change that on its side.

Community Updates

Hedra support replied that its authentication provider, WorkOS, still geo-blocks Syria by default and that Hedra has no way to adjust this on its side.

Frequently Asked Questions

Partly. The core use of Hedra works in Syria, but something else about it fails or has not been checked. This page lists what works and what does not.

Many international services blocked access to Syria due to previous sanctions and compliance policies. Even as sanctions are being reviewed, some companies have not yet restored access. Unblock Syria tracks these services and advocates for change.

You can help by voting on this page to show demand, sharing it on social media, and contacting Hedra directly to request they restore access for Syrian users.
