What is a VPN?

A VPN (Virtual Private Network) is a service that helps you stay private and secure online by encrypting your internet connection and hiding your real IP address.

When you use a VPN, your internet traffic is routed through a secure server in another location. This makes it appear as if you're browsing from that location—not your real one—while also protecting your data from hackers, trackers, and internet service providers.

Unblock apps and websites restricted in your country (like WhatsApp, Skype, or Netflix)

Protect your privacy on public Wi-Fi networks

Hide your IP address and online activity from surveillance

Access geo-restricted content (e.g. streaming from other countries)

In countries across the GCC like UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Kuwait, VPNs are especially useful for:

Bypassing VoIP restrictions (WhatsApp, Zoom, etc.)

Streaming foreign content

Maintaining online anonymity

With the right VPN, you can browse freely and securely—no matter where you are.
