## About

Freelance marketplace connecting businesses with skilled remote professionals

## 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.

## Community reports

- 2026-02-21 — 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 placed on it by the UK government." The homepage loads and services can be browsed without an account, but all payment methods are blocked at checkout. Syria is not listed as a location option in profile settings (typing "Syria" only shows "Syriam, MM"), and Syria is absent from the freelancer country filter. Accounts can be created from non-Syrian IPs, and Syrian phone numbers (+963) are accepted in profile settings. Tested on Syriatel ADSL and mobile networks.

## 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.
