Before heading out to Dubai, you need to have the right VPN services to stay safe and connected with family and businesses outside the UAE. Many VoIP (Voice over IP) services are banned in Dubai and the UAE as a whole, and the best way to get around the ban is to get a subscription with NordVPN, the most popular VPN service used in Dubai and the rest of the UAE. With NordVPN, you will be able to use WhatsApp and Facetime to make calls while also staying secure and private while using hotspots across the city. NordVPN offers great deals – You can chose 1 month subscription just to cover your trip, or choose 2 years subscription for huge savings if you travel often and are concerned about internet security and privacy while connected to public WiFi at airports, hotels, restaurants and cafes anywhere in the world.
ProTip:
1. Signup for and download the app of the VPN service before arriving to Dubai, as many of the websites are blocked once you get here
2. Select Obfuscated VPN servers from inside the app
3. Do not use the free VPN services, as they do not have the same level of privacy as professional services. You may be able to make free calls on WhatsApp, but your information will be stored somewhere.
