The usage of Virtual Private Network (VPN) applications is the highest in the UAE globally as six out of 10 people use them.
Though it’s legal to use VPNs, its misuse can attract heavy penalties as well jail terms.
Article 1 of the Amended UAE Cyber Law states that using a "fraudulent computer network protocol address by using a false address or a third-party address by any other means for the purpose of committing a crime or preventing its discovery" is punishable with imprisonment and/or a fine of Dh500,000 to Dh2 million.
"The usage of VPN in the UAE is not illegal if it is used as per the guidelines of the UAE government and TRA," said Ashish Mehta, managing partner of Ashish Mehta & Associates.
