## About

Online community for sharing DIY projects and step-by-step guides across crafts, electronics, cooking, and other creative hobbies

## Activity summary

Blocked in Syria. Community testing in April 2026 confirmed that the site is unreachable from Syrian connections, returning an invalid HTTP response error, consistent with the existing block on its parent company Autodesk. No outreach to the company has been made yet.

## Community reports

- 2026-04-22 — Investigated. Community testing confirmed that Instructables is inaccessible from Syria. Accessing instructables.com from a Syrian IP returns a Chrome net::ERR_HTTP_RESPONSE_CODE_FAILURE error, indicating the server responded with an invalid or blocked HTTP response. The behavior matches the existing blocking pattern of parent company Autodesk.

## 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.
