High-vote services get prioritized for outreach
Rayyan is currently blocked in Syria. Community testing confirmed that rayyan.ai returns a "Sorry, you have been blocked" WAF page tied to its Webflow CDN (cdn.webflow.com), preventing the platform from loading. No outreach to the company has been made yet.
Investigated
Community testing confirmed that Rayyan is blocked in Syria. Accessing rayyan.ai from a Syrian IP returns a "Sorry, you have been blocked" WAF page stating the user is unable to access cdn.webflow.com, the CDN that serves Rayyan's site. The block prevents the platform from loading.
You can help change this. Syria's political situation has changed—all sanctions have been lifted. Many companies just haven't updated their policies yet. If you work at Rayyan or know someone who does, share our resources with their legal or compliance team. Sometimes all it takes is one person asking the right question.
Tips for advocating: Reach out to legal, compliance, or policy teams. Reference the lifted sanctions. Point to competitors who have already unblocked Syria. Every voice matters.
