Raw reachability score
A responding domain or CDN edge does not prove signup, API access, model inference or availability for every user.
- Source evidence count
- 181
- Reported method(s)
- No methods supplied
- Provider restriction flag
- true
Vendor geo-restriction: the provider does not serve this country, so the service is unavailable. A CDN edge may still be network-reachable (see network_reachability_score) — that is not the same as the service working.

Confidence, original provider reference and raw fields
Source confidence: 1. The implementation derives this heuristic from record count and stored evidence confidence. It is not a calibrated probability of censorship, and it is never calculated as 1 minus reachability here.
The original site's undated provider list flags OpenAI in Iran. That list has no per-entry date or policy citation. It does not override this source read or establish current account eligibility. Check the provider’s current product information ↗

}Read this result carefully.
A classified network signal describes the retrieved source sample. It is not a guarantee for every ISP, account or app feature. A provider restriction can coexist with a responding domain; a source policy flag does not prove government blocking.
The source combines retained evidence with seven-day probe records. Its response time is not the latest observation date. Unknown, unavailable, zero and partial results remain distinct. Source confidence is a heuristic, not a calibrated probability.
The original context.
The complete, distinct editorial text from this guide is preserved below. It is undated source commentary, not a fresh verification of provider policy, cause, reliability or account eligibility.
The situation
Iran applies heavy network filtering and OpenAI does not officially serve the country. During protests, filtering tightens and reachability drops further.
How the original guide reads a verdict
Our verdict reflects measured network reachability from inside the region. Scores here tend to swing with the political calendar — worth re-checking the live matrix during unrest.
The source may overlay a vendor policy onto its status. A low domain score or a method label alone does not prove the cause claimed in historical commentary. Use the explicit source fields above.
Alternatives described in the original guide
- Circumvention tooling (VPN / proxy) to a supported region.
- During shutdowns, even circumvention can fail — see Voidly’s shutdown-risk feed.
These are preserved descriptions, not new guarantees of reliable access. Network reachability does not remove provider eligibility or account restrictions.
