Where are VPNs illegal?

Belarus, China, Russia, Iraq, North Korea and the United Arab Emirates are a few examples of countries that ban VPNs and enforce strict Internet censorship laws. Although it is illegal to use VPNs in these countries, other countries/regions allow VPN use.

Businesses and private organisations initially use VPNs to provide a secure network for their employees and teams. Because some people were using VPNs for illegal activities, some countries decided to ban them.

You can use a VPN for many legitimate purposes. People who are concerned about their privacy often use VPNs to help them remain anonymous. Many governmental and non-governmental organisations also use VPNs to protect the privacy of their work.
