Progress Timeline
Activity Summary
Restricted for users in Syria. Community testing in February 2026 confirmed that the homepage loads and services can be browsed, but registration from Syrian connections is blocked with a message citing UK financial sanctions, all payment methods are blocked at checkout, and Syria is absent from location settings. The restriction has been verified, but no outreach to the company has been made yet.
Verified
Multiple community volunteers verified PeoplePerHour's restrictions from Syria. Registration from Syrian IPs is explicitly blocked with the message: "Sorry access is Restricted — We are very sorry but we are unable to accept any user registrations from Syria as it currently has a financial sanction ...

Frequently Asked Questions
PeoplePerHour is restricted in Syria. Access may require workarounds or may not be fully functional. We are monitoring the situation.
Many international services blocked access to Syria due to previous sanctions and compliance policies. Even as sanctions are being reviewed, some companies have not yet restored access. Unblock Syria tracks these services and advocates for change.
You can help by voting on this page to show demand, sharing it on social media, and contacting PeoplePerHour directly to request they restore access for Syrian users.
