## Community reports

- 2026-02-28 — Verified. Community testing confirmed that McAfee is restricted in Syria. The main website mcafee.com loads but very slowly, with the navigation menu and login button visible. However, the protection dashboard at protection.mcafee.com/dashboard fails to load — browser developer tools show CORS-blocked responses and failed resource requests, preventing account creation or product use.

## 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.
