Hi. I will be moving to Abu Dhabi in January and I was wondering what (if any) internet sites were banned in The UAE. I read only that Skype is blocked. I lived in China last year and facebook and youtube and a slew of other sites were blocked and I had to use a VePeEn service called to access these sites. If I do infact need a program to get around the sites will **** work for me there?

Thanks for your help!

PLEASE DO NOT mention specific vee pee en providers in the public domain - the Thought Police will block them!

Yes, you will require the same in the UAE. I would suggest the same one as before as it is not blocked.....YET

Thanks Sandman. (Good point on the not mentioning of names...it was a little careless. opps!) I'll download before I go. Can you tell me which sites are blocked?! Is Facebook and Youtube accessable in The UAE?

^ Yes Facebook and Youtube are accessible in UAE. China is by far more restricted in that sense.

All porn, online gambling, dating and many other "socially unacceptable" (read hipocrisy)sites are blocked.

Thanks for deleting the name of the vee pee en
