How we review
- UAE servers: from each provider’s own server list or API, including whether the location is virtual.
- Privacy: independent audits of no-logs policies and apps, with their dates.
- Restrictive networks: whether the app has obfuscation, and what it is called.
- Money: free plans, trials, device limits and refund rules, without quoting prices that change weekly.
- Availability: whether the app is on the UAE App Store today.
We have not run speed or streaming tests, so the reviews do not rank on speed. More about how we check.
