Accessing your desired websites and expressing your opinion freely on the internet can be problematic when you live in or travel to countries with a strict internet censorship, like China and the United Arab Emirates (UAE). These countries impose strict internet regulations. Many popular foreign websites are blocked. 

For example, the UAE internet censorship aims to block content that contains criticism of the government. Some authorities also pay a great deal of attention to sensitive discussions of religion. Thus, the restrictions affect: 

• Social networks (Facebook, Twitter)
• Media (The New York Times, YouTube)
• Search engines (Google)
• Many other services that are of great demand among the netizens of the UAE

The same situation applies to China. The infamous Great Firewall of China (GFW) blocks foreign websites primarily for the sake of political stability. There are many foreign residents in China and the UAE that need to access blocked websites for personal or professional purposes. Therefore, “how to access blocked websites” is a highly popular search query in the UAE and China. Moreover, many UAE and Chinese websites are accessible only within their country. Accessing them from abroad is impossible.

• North Korea - blocks social media, porn, torrents, and most VPNs. Political media in the country is created by KCNA (Korean Central News Agency), which is the only source allowed to publish news.
• China - blocks porn, most VPNs, Western social media. Political media is heavily restricted, some journalists face severe prison sentences for anti-government publications, and members of the public can be jailed for simply commenting on or sharing news posts. 
• Russia - blocks torrenting and VPNs, certain social media, the internet is heavily controlled and monitored by the government agency called RKN.
• Turkmenistan - blocks social networking sites and porn
• Iran - blocks VPNs, pornography, and some social media; news media is heavily censored.
• Belarus, Turkey, Oman, Pakistan, United Arab Emirates, and Eritrea - all ban porn, censor political media and torrenting heavily.

Luckily, you can still use VPN Unlimited in these countries thanks to the KeepSolid Wise protocol.

All this means that if you travel to or work in China or the UAE, you will be experiencing a lot of inconvenience when it comes to accessing blocked foreign websites. Nonetheless, it does not mean that you will be doomed to total failure if you want to visit these foreign websites that are blocked in China and the UAE.

VPNs like VPN Unlimited are extremely popular in countries with limited access to the web and heavy internet censorship, like China and the UAE. And, since numerous people share the same VPN servers, this popularity can have negative side-effects on a user’s experience, causing slowdowns in connection speed, the bad neighbor effect, or even collateral damage.

Having a VPN IP address with good reputation facilitates your attempts to bypass national internet censorship. It will be easier for you to access various personal accounts such as email, social media, and cloud services, securely with a clean dedicated IP address.
