Progress Timeline
Activity Summary
Blocked in Syria, confirmed by community reports in January 2026 showing the Surfshark site unreachable without another VPN. The team contacted the company in February 2026, but support misunderstood the request, blaming Syria's own internet policies and offering a manual workaround instead of addressing its country-level restriction. No resolution yet.
Contacted Company
Outreach email sent to Surfshark at support@surfshark.com and legal@surfshark.com requesting review of Syria IP restrictions for Surfshark under the current post-sanctions legal framework.

Sanctions are lifted. Most companies just haven't updated their policies. A word from inside Nord Security can change that.
Tips for advocating
- Reach out to legal, compliance, or policy teams.
- Reference the lifted sanctions.
- Point to competitors who have already unblocked Syria.
