Connecting to a VPN in the UAE

Connect to high-speed VPN (Virtual Private Network) servers in Dubai for optimized performance. If you need to securely sidestep internet censorship or unblock VoIP calls,

switch to servers spanning 100 countries worldwide.

Surfshark’s infrastructure is built to prioritize your privacy and security in a highly monitored online environment:

10Gbps RAM-only servers: all session data is permanently wiped with every server reboot to ensure zero-logging;
Advanced obfuscation: makes the VPN connection much harder to detect, allowing you to bypass DPI (Deep Packet Inspection) systems;
Private DNS on every server: encrypted DNS queries within the tunnel prevent local ISPs from logging the websites you visit or the communication apps you use;
Local and global access: seamlessly switch between a UAE IP address for secure local banking and international IPs to unlock essential VoIP services and global services.

Surfshark’s key benefits

Increased online privacy

Connecting to Surfshark VPN masks your IP address and encrypts your online traffic, making it harder for bad actors to track your virtual location and online activities.

Our VPN app’s Clean Web ad blocker offers even more peace of mind by blocking ads, stopping trackers, and alerting you to past data breaches on sites you visit.

Leave distractions behind and ride the clean wave of uninterrupted browsing.

High-speed internet connection

Boosting your security with a VPN doesn’t mean sacrificing fast speeds.

Speed tests show that Surfshark is the fastest VPN on the market, meaning you’re in good hands with our tool.

Our VPN servers offer unlimited bandwidth, bringing you top-notch encryption and the fast speeds you expect.

Vast server network

Surfshark has 4,500+ servers in 100 countries on six continents, making it easy to connect to a nearby VPN server.

Not sure which of our server locations is best for you? Select Quick connect to have the VPN app automatically choose the fastest available option.

Unlimited simultaneous connections

The best VPN won’t limit your connection to a single device.

Whether you’re surfing on a Mac, Windows PC, or mobile, our VPN app lets you protect multiple devices at once.

Secure all your gadgets at no added cost thanks to Surfshark’s simultaneous connections.

All-in-one cybersecurity suite

Surfshark gives you much more than a VPN connection.

Our Starter plan offers advanced tools like an ad blocker, kill switch, and alternative online persona generator to enhance your web security.

For added protection, higher tiers include Antivirus, the Alert data leak monitoring tool, and our Incogni personal data removal service.

FAQ

Is using a VPN illegal in the UAE?

While VPNs are not inherently illegal in the UAE, their misuse, i.e., “intention of committing or to preventing detection of a crime,” as highlighted in Federal Decree-Law No. (34) of 2021, Article (10), can result in serious legal repercussions — temporary imprisonment and/or a fine of AED 500,000-2,000,000.

Can I use a free VPN in the UAE?

You shouldn’t use a free VPN in general, but especially in places like the UAE, where VPN use is heavily regulated.

Free services often lack strong encryption and security features, making them easier to detect and exploit. They might also collect and sell your data, have limited servers, and provide poor speeds.

Accidentally using a VPN for activities deemed illegal in the UAE can result in severe fines or imprisonment, so the risks associated with the use of free VPNs would be even higher.

Why do I need a VPN in the UAE?

While the UAE has world-class internet speeds, it also employs extensive filtering. Most residents use a VPN for three main reasons:

Unblocking VoIP services;
Accessing content;
Privacy on public Wi-Fi.

Which VPN has a UAE location?

If you want a UAE IP address, many top-tier VPN providers, including Surfshark, offer servers in Dubai.
