Blocked in Syria. A community report in February 2026 was verified that same month when testing from inside Syria showed the support page returning a 403 Forbidden error. A community volunteer then contacted Cognition, the company behind Windsurf, and sent a follow-up citing the IP restrictions, but the only reply so far was an automated sales email that did not address the block. No resolution yet.
Follow-up Sent
A follow-up email was sent to Cognition at getstarted@cognition.ai explicitly stating that the volunteer is unable to use their services from within Syria due to IP restrictions. The email requested that Cognition review their IP restrictions and share the previously provided sanctions documentation...

You can help change this. Syria's political situation has changed—all sanctions have been lifted. Many companies just haven't updated their policies yet. If you work at Windsurf or know someone who does, share our resources with their legal or compliance team. Sometimes all it takes is one person asking the right question.
Tips for advocating: Reach out to legal, compliance, or policy teams. Reference the lifted sanctions. Point to competitors who have already unblocked Syria. Every voice matters.
Contact Windsurf Support:
No, Windsurf is currently blocked in Syria. Users in Syria cannot access this service. We are tracking the situation and advocating for change.
Many international services blocked access to Syria due to previous sanctions and compliance policies. Even as sanctions are being reviewed, some companies have not yet restored access. Unblock Syria tracks these services and advocates for change.
You can help by voting on this page to show demand, sharing it on social media, and contacting Windsurf directly to request they restore access for Syrian users.
