## Community reports

- 2026-07-09 — 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.

## 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.
