I'm curious to hear what Gitlab has to say about this, or if they will have some kind of official communication specifically on that matter.

      Note that this is not quite the same. Gitlab made a technical decision to move to Google Cloud, and Google Cloud has its own, much more outrageous block on a network level. Gitlab not being accessible from Iran is a by-product of that move, not a conscious decision Gitlab made. Arguably, if I create a Gitlab Account using a VPN but put country of residence "Iran", and Gitlab lets me do that, then Gitlab does not have the same policy has Github.

        Ha, good additional info indeed. I took the Github post as in "if I'm in Iran but use a VPN, and set Iran as country of residence I'm fine".
