## About

Enterprise networking platform with cloud-managed WiFi, switching, SD-WAN, and network access control

## Activity summary

HPE Aruba Networking is blocked in Syria. Community testing in July 2026 found hpe.com completely unreachable, timing out without serving any content or block page. An earlier report in February 2026 hit an explicit Akamai access denial on the same domain, so the block appears to have shifted from a served denial page to a silent drop. No outreach to the company has been made yet.

## Community reports

- 2026-07-27 — Verified. Community testing from Syria (Damascus, desktop Chrome) confirmed that HPE's networking site is unreachable. Loading hpe.com/networking fails with a connection timeout, the browser reporting that hpe.com took too long to respond with error ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT. No content and no block page are served at all. The failure mode differs from the February 2026 community report, which described an explicit Akamai «Access Denied» page referencing errors.edgesuite.net, suggesting enforcement may now be a silent drop rather than a served denial page. Status updated from unknown to blocked. (evidence: https://api.unblocksyria.com/files/evidence/galic8j65pii72a0irrvlb1a/h3mlynfcnooplcnm7keptqcx-screenshot-2026-07-28-003115.png)
- 2026-02-26 — Investigated. A community member reported that HPE Aruba Networking is blocked in Syria. The submitter encountered an Akamai "Access Denied" error page when attempting to access hpe.com, with a reference to errors.edgesuite.net confirming the block is enforced at Akamai's CDN level. No evidence screenshots were provided — independent verification with screenshots is needed to confirm the blocking status.

## 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.
