## Activity summary

Blocked in Syria. A September 2026 community test compared the same machine with and without a VPN: the site timed out on the Syrian connection and loaded normally over the VPN, placing the cause in the visitor's region.

## 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.
