## About

Developer identity platform providing authentication (AuthKit), single sign-on (SSO), directory sync, and user management APIs

## Activity summary

Accessible in Syria. In February 2026, indirect evidence from a downstream service suggested WorkOS blocked Syria by default, but later that month community testing confirmed full access to the WorkOS developer dashboard from a Syrian connection. No outreach to the company was needed, as the service is reachable.

## Community reports

- 2026-02-26 — Verified. Community testing confirmed that WorkOS is now fully accessible from Syria. A volunteer successfully logged into the WorkOS developer dashboard from a Syrian IP, with full access to the Overview, AuthKit, Single Sign-On, Directory Sync, Audit Logs, API Keys, and all other platform features. This is a significant change from the previous status, which was based on indirect evidence from a downstream service (Hedra) reporting that WorkOS blocked Syria by default. Downstream services using WorkOS AuthKit for authentication should be re-tested to verify whether the unblocking cascades to end-user login flows. (evidence: https://api.unblocksyria.com/files/evidence/dosi03od1zw9cy9o8v8faxjr/tuvt5oef5cfajx3ejelz9fjw-screenshot-2026-02-26-at-13.07.32.png)
- 2026-02-18 — Investigated. WorkOS confirmed to be blocking Syria by default through indirect evidence. Hedra's support team reported that their authentication provider WorkOS (AuthKit) still blocks Syria and that there is "no way for us to adjust this." This means any service using WorkOS AuthKit for authentication will have its login/signup blocked for Syrian users, even if the service itself has unblocked Syria. WorkOS is a root cause of blocking for multiple downstream services.

## 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.
