## About

Fast VPN service with strong encryption, threat protection, and global servers

## Activity summary

Restricted for users in Syria. A community volunteer contacted the company in February 2026 asking it to remove Syria from its restricted-countries list, prompting weeks of follow-up replies promising review. In March 2026 the company declined, stating its services remain unavailable in Syria under its internal compliance policies while it continues monitoring regulatory changes.

## Official timeline

- 2026-03-13 — Declined. NordVPN's support team provided a definitive response to the ongoing unblocking request via support ticket #20551850. The representative confirmed that while NordVPN is aware sanctions restrictions have changed, their services are currently not available in Syria due to internal compliance policies. The response stated that NordVPN will continue monitoring regulatory developments but will not restore access at this time. This is a genuine human response concluding nearly three weeks of escalations since the initial contact on February 23.

## 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.
