## Activity summary

## Community reports

- 2026-04-30 — Verified. Community testing confirmed that Paddle's status has changed from blocked to limited. The main marketing site (paddle.com) loads normally from Syria. However, login.paddle.com/signup and vendors.paddle.com return Cloudflare block pages with the message "Sorry, you have been blocked." ProfitWell Metrics (a Paddle subsidiary) login and signup pages load without restrictions.

- 2026-02-16 — Investigated. Community member reported that Paddle is blocked in Syria. Submitted from an IP in Lebanon (185.97.94.84). Paddle is a Merchant of Record payment platform used by SaaS companies, and it does not serve Syria. This blocks Syrian businesses and developers from using Paddle-powered checkout and subscription billing.

## 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.
