What works

Each part of the service, checked from Syria.

Core useFails

The same country-level firewall rule blocks the whole offsec.com domain, so OffSec's training platform could not be reached from Syria on 10 September 2026 either.

Landing pageFails

From a Syrian connection on 10 September 2026, offsec.com did not load: Sucuri's Website Firewall returned an Access Denied page (Block ID GEO02) stating that access from the visitor's country was disabled by the administrator, a country-level rule enforced before any page content loads.

Frequently Asked Questions

No, OffSec is currently blocked in Syria. Users in Syria cannot access this service. We are tracking the situation and advocating for change.

Most likely a company policy that has not caught up with the law. The US sanctions program on Syria ended on 1 July 2025, the EU lifted its economic sanctions in May 2025, and Syria was removed from the US list of State Sponsors of Terrorism in August 2026. Many companies set their Syria restrictions before these changes and have not updated them. This page shows the evidence we have for OffSec and any reply from the company.

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