hey what's up guys it's adam here and in this video we're going to talk about three of the best
vpns that you can use in qatar you may already know that the qatari government blocks lots of
content from news sources and social media to voip applications like whatsapp and skype
the authorities also use computer spying software to secretly monitor online activities residents
and visitors can face scary consequences such as jail time and heavy fines for posting a photo of
another person or sharing fake news online the good news is that a trustworthy vpn can help
protect you against snoops and spies of course it can't be just any vpn as they're not all equal and
so i tested over 30 vpns and found that three stand out the best for accessing geo-restricted
content in qatar whilst keeping you safe online so let's go ahead and jump straight into my top
recommendation which is expressvpn and for many good reasons first it has aes 256-bit encryption
brand-based servers and a strict no logs policy to keep your identity and browsing activity
anonymous online plus at the vpn it comes with an extensive server network and super fast speed
you can try expressvpn risk free as it's backed by a 30-day money-back guarantee if you're not fully
satisfied you can always request a refund one of the best things about expressvpn is that it has
3 000 servers in 90 countries so you can always find a reliable server to access content worldwide
whilst testing expressvpn i could access my netflix us hulu and disney plus accounts and voip
services like skype whatsapp call and telegram while traveling outside qatar you can easily
watch al jazeera by connecting to a server in egypt which will give you an egyptian ip address
you don't have to worry about your personal information being exposed with expressvpn's
top-notch security features safeguarding your data the vpn comes with aes 256 bit encryption which is
the strongest level available plus the vpn offers an automatic kill switch that disconnects you from
the internet in the rare event your vpn suddenly drops expressvpn also provides ip and dns leak
protection i tested 10 of its servers and i didn't find any ip or dns leaks at all a strict no logs
policy further protects your privacy meaning your identifiable information that won't get stored and
shared with anyone in addition expressvpn's headquarters is based in the british virgin
islands which is outside the 5914 is alliance which is an international data sharing pact often
associated with government surveillance this means that expressvpn is not obligated to hand over your
data to third parties what really impressed me with expressvpn is their use of trusted
server technology all its servers are ram based meaning that your data isn't saved on a hard drive
this means that your browsing activity automatically gets deleted when you disconnect
you don't have to worry about your information being shared since your data isn't even being
collected in the first place i recorded super fast speeds and had unlimited bandwidth throughout
testing i tried the us uk egypt pakistan and israel servers and got an average speed of 46.5
megabits per second and you only need a five megabits per second to stream in hd so this
was more than enough to watch al jazeera without buffering additionally all the vpn servers are
optimized for p2p file sharing so you can torrent without experiencing any annoying slowdowns the
vpn supports five simultaneous device connections so that you can protect all of your devices i
tested this by connecting the vpn to my iphone chromebook and ipad and performing various online
activities at the same time to my surprise i didn't have any slowdowns i was happy to see that
expressvpn also offers split tunneling this allows you to choose which online traffic passes through
the vpn and which stays on your local network i used split tunneling to encrypt my torrenting
activity while using my regular connection to access my banking app expressvpn offers several
different payment methods too when paying for my subscription i could use paypal credit card
so fort alipay union pay ideal web money and even cryptocurrencies this means you can pay for your
subscription completely anonymously if you're not ready to commit yet you can try expressvpn
risk free it's backed by a money back guarantee so you have up to 30 days to request a full refund
after using it for 25 days i contacted its 24 7 live customer support to ask for my money
back the chat agent asked me a few questions and quickly issued my refund my money was back in my
paypal account in just three days so nordvpn is my second pick for a qatar vpn it pegs incredible
speeds and has built-in robust reputation around privacy his network of more than 5500 servers
spans 60 countries with plenty of options in europe north america and parts of asia nordvpn's
fast speeds mean it's well suited for streaming hd video in my extensive user review the service
was easily able to circumvent blockades on sites such as us netflix hbo amazon prime video espn and
more users are offered a choice to select a server that optimizes certain tasks including streaming
hd video and double vpn nordvpn does not store any of its user data its servers have been confiscated
on a couple of occasions by authorities but they could not find any incriminating evidence security
standards include 256 bit encryption the open vpn protocol and an automatic kill switch it also has
a dns leak protection and apps are available for android ios windows and mac os a basic plan allows
for six devices to connect simultaneously it works well for streaming keeps no logs and is packed
with great security features and it includes a 30-day money-back guarantee for a risk-free deal
so my third pick is surfshot surfshark is a budget-friendly provider that offers access to
over 1700 servers in over 60 countries so it's a great choice for bypassing geographic restrictions
of course it also lets you access websites that are usually unavailable in qatar one of the
best things about surf shark is that it has no connection limit this means that you can browse
the web securely on every device you own without having to remember which devices are unprotected
the service actually includes a no borders feature that was designed to bypass country-wide internet
blocking there's also 256-bit aes encryption an internet kill switch an ad blocker and a
malware scanner it also has protection against web rtc dns and ipv6 leaks surfshark follows a
no logging policy but for added protection you can choose to pay in bitcoin ethereum or ripple
surfshark's customer support actively encourages you to contact them over 24 7 live chat if you
find yourself unable to use the service in qatar surfshark offers access to windows linux mac os
android and ios apps this vpn also works with select wireless routers although you'll have to
install it manually surfshark comes packed with security and privacy features making it ideal
for anyone who wants to access the internet freely in qatar it also offers decent speeds and no logs
policy and a 30-day money-back guarantee okay so i want to address some common faqs on using a vpn
in qatar now for the first question why should you use a vpn in qatar well a vpn can help you access
geo-restricted content from within the country safely again the qatari government monitors and
regulates the internet to keep content in line with the country's religious and political views
this means that several sites and popular voip apps like skype fiber and whatsapp calls are
banned a vpn with robust security features keeps your privacy and identity safe for monitoring and
cyber attacks if you choose a service with servers in both qatar and worldwide you also get access
to an unrestricted internet no matter where you are in the world now for the second question is
it legal to use a vpn in qatar so downloading and using a vpn in qatar is legal as long as
it's for legitimate purposes like protecting yourself against hackers however keep in mind
that accessing banned content is against the law and you can be charged for doing so and now for
the last question can you use a free vpn in qatar well i strongly advise against using free vpns
many free vpns don't have the resources to keep their security protocols up to date this means you
cannot rely on them to keep you anonymous online in addition some free vpns also sell their users
data bombard you with ads or infect your device with malware and viruses even the more secure free
services come with heavy restrictions like data caps minimal server access throttled speed and
limited bandwidth instead try an affordable premium vpn to protect your safety and anonymity
whilst streaming torrenting and browsing in qatar thank you so much for watching my video if you are
