Hello Paul,

I am based in Dubai and have been for many years, is there something i can help with?

As far as VPNs go it is illegal to us a VPN if you are using is it to break the law, thus using a VPN to access illegal content is illegal, use of a VPN itself is not criminal so for business and legitimate commercial use is fine.

Hi,
has anyone any (recent-ish) experience of setting up an office in
Dubai? In particular on state legislation on network usage, VPNs, VOIP
etc. Some years ago there was a big flurry of news about it being
illegal to use VPNs, but that might have really been about avoidance
paying for government owned telecomms services.

$JOB is setting up a remote office there and of course it's expensive.
But we need to consider the legal issues of things like inter-site
VPNs within Dubai and to other countries, and the law about VOIP (for
internal calls to other offices, and even whether things like Zoom or
Teams fall afoul).

any thoughts appreciated

thanks
Paul
