## About

Commission marketplace where clients hire illustrators and digital artists directly, with briefs, payments, and delivery handled in-platform

## Activity summary

Restricted in Syria. Community testing in September 2026 confirmed the site and the creator dashboard work without a VPN, but Syria is absent from the payout country list, so artists with Artist+ status cannot be paid for commissions.

## Community reports

- 2026-09-02 — Investigated. Community testing confirmed that VGen is reachable from Syria without a VPN and that the creator dashboard loads normally. The restriction is at payout: the payout-account setup requires selecting a supported country, and Syria does not appear in that list, so artists who have been granted Artist+ status cannot receive payment for commissions. The two payout routes offered are a bank account and PayPal, neither of which is available from Syria.

## 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.
