## About

Virtual networking platform that creates secure peer-to-peer connections over the internet

## Activity summary

Partially blocked in Syria. The team contacted the company in February 2026. Community testing in February found full access, but a retest in April 2026 showed the web dashboard works while the core network client stays offline, blocked at the network layer over sanctions, so the status is limited. No resolution yet.

## Official timeline

- 2026-02-09 — Contacted Company. Outreach email sent to ZeroTier at legal@zerotier.com requesting review of Syria IP restrictions for ZeroTier under the current post-sanctions legal framework.

## Community reports

- 2026-04-20 — Verified. Community testing found that while ZeroTier's web dashboard remains accessible from Syria, the ZeroTier network client itself cannot establish connections. A Syrian user running «zerotier-cli info» received the response «1.16.0 OFFLINE», meaning the client cannot reach ZeroTier's root/planet servers to join virtual networks. A public ZeroTier forum thread confirms the service blocks Syrian traffic at the network layer citing US sanctions. Status updated from accessible to limited — the web tier works, but the core VPN service does not.

- 2026-02-25 — Verified. Comprehensive community testing verified that ZeroTier is now fully accessible from Syria. A complete user flow was tested from Aleppo (Tarassul ISP): the ZeroTier website loads correctly, Google OAuth sign-in works, organization creation succeeds, and network creation functions properly. All core features including account management, network setup, and dashboard access are fully operational. Status updated from blocked to accessible.

## 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. See https://unblocksyria.com/llms.txt for the regulatory summary and https://unblocksyria.com/en/about for citations to the specific orders and regulations.
