## Community reports

- 2026-02-20 — Verified. Verified that Overleaf is partially accessible from Syria via DSL. Free features work: account creation, login, browsing templates, editing LaTeX documents in the code editor, compiling to PDF, and downloading documents all function normally. However, paid subscriptions are region-blocked — attempting to upgrade shows a "Restricted" page stating "we've detected that you are in a region from which we cannot presently accept payments." Status updated from blocked to limited.

## 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.
