I’m looking for a reliable paid VPN that works well in the UAE. I’ve heard that some services get blocked or don’t perform well here, so I want to avoid wasting money on something that won’t work.
Does anyone have recommendations for a paid VPN that they’ve personally used in the UAE without issues?
Would appreciate any input! Thanks in advance!
Please avoid suggesting free VPNs — I’m specifically looking for a paid option.
I purchased the cheapest server in DigitalOcean and used a simple script to install OpenVPN and generate users. Now I have my own VPN for just $6/month. And it’s very unlikely to be blocked.

Lol i remember posting about a proxy app called exit lag which was usefull for directing your games traffic and increase ping peeformance on the UAE gammers reddit and it gone taken down becuse it was against community guidelines . And now your able to ask such questions are mods sleeping.
I suggest checking the rankings on Reddit. r/vpnreviews has a good best vpn list for that. It includes some free VPNs too but the majority are paid, you can choose accordingly.
I’ve been using ExpressVPN for a while now without issues. Connects quick and works for streaming and torrenting. You could also look into a proxy service provider if you want additional anonymity.
I’ve been in the UAE recently, and Surfshark worked perfectly for me. It’s reliable, not too pricey, and super easy to use. What I liked most is that it supports unlimited devices, so I was able to use it on all my family’s devices without any hassle.
If you’re looking for the most premium option, NordVPN is top-notch, but in terms of quality vs. pricing and usability, Surfshark is in my opinion is the best. Never had any issues with streaming, browsing, or accessing blocked apps while in Dubai.
In case you opt for surfshark, feel free to use my referral link - I think I get 1 month for free
