The TryHackMe homepage opened normally from a Syrian connection without a VPN, showing its sign-up and log-in options.

Sign-upWorks

A tester in Syria created a new TryHackMe account without a VPN and went on to use it. No screenshot of the sign-up form itself was taken.

Sign-inWorks

Logging in from Syria worked: the signed-in TryHackMe dashboard loaded with the account's rooms and missions.

PaymentFails

Paying for a subscription failed from Syria. Pressing Subscribe now on the Premium plan returned "Payments aren't available in your region due to provider limitations."

UpgradeFails

Upgrading to TryHackMe Premium was not possible from Syria, because the subscription checkout refused payment from the region, citing payment provider limitations.
