VPN use had increased dramatically in the UAE and GCC during the pandemic year but has declined in the past couple of years. Under Article 10 of the UAE Cyber Law, people misusing VPNs could face imprisonment and a fine between Dh500,000 to Dh2 million. However, using VPNs for illegal means or to commit a crime is a serious offence under the UAE Decree Law No (34) of 2021 concerning combating rumours and cybercrimes.Īlso, using a VPN by hiding the IP address to get access to websites/calling applications/gaming applications which are blocked by the UAE government is illegal. The usage of VPN in the UAE is not illegal if it's used as per the guidelines of the UAE government and the Telecommunications and Digital Government Regulatory Authority (TDRA).
