Hey there, Saudi friends! If you’re looking to surf the internet freely on your Windows PC, you’ve probably heard about VPNs. Maybe you’re wondering how to get around those pesky website blocks or just want to keep your online activities private. Well, you’re in the right place. This guide is all about using MenaVPN, a solid choice for Windows users in Saudi Arabia. We’ll break down everything you need to know in a chill, easy-to-read way. Let’s dive in!
A VPN (Virtual Private Network) is like a private tunnel between your device and the internet. It hides your IP address, encrypts your online traffic, and makes it look like you're browsing from somewhere else. In places like Saudi Arabia, where a lot of websites and apps are blocked, a VPN can be a lifesaver.
Living in Saudi and can’t access certain websites, apps, or services? That’s where a VPN steps in. Here’s what it helps you with:
Unblock social media and messaging apps
Access geo-blocked streaming platforms (Netflix US, Hulu, Disney+)
Use VoIP services like Skype or WhatsApp calls
Keep your internet activity private
Bypass local internet restrictions
Using a VPN in Saudi is pretty simple:
Download and install a trusted VPN (like MenaVPN 😉).
Open the app and log in.
Choose a server location (like the US or UK).
Hit "Connect".
Boom! You're now browsing with freedom.
There are many VPNs out there, but here’s a quick look at some top options:
VPN | Works in UAE | Speed | Android App | Price | Safe to Use? |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
MenaVPN | ✅ Yes | ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ | ✅ Yes | Affordable | ✅ Yes |
ExpressVPN | ✅ Yes | ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ | ✅ Yes | Expensive | ✅ Yes |
NordVPN | ✅ Yes | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ | ✅ Yes | Mid-range | ✅ Yes |
Free VPNs | ❌ Unreliable | ⭐ | ✅ Yes | Free | ❌ Risky |
MenaVPN is optimized for the Middle East, so it's our #1 pick.
Let’s be honest—free VPNs sound great. But they come with a lot of risks. If you’re still curious, here are a few people try:
ProtonVPN (free plan)
Windscribe (10GB free)
TunnelBear (500MB/month)
Just remember: free = slower speeds, data caps, and maybe even data tracking. You’re better off with a cheap premium option like MenaVPN.
Slow speeds 🐢
Data leaks
Annoying ads
Selling your data to third parties
Limited access to streaming or blocked sites
Bottom line: if it’s free, you are the product.
Download MenaVPN for Windows.
Install and launch the app.
Sign in with your account.
Choose a server.
Click "Connect."
Easy. You can also set it up manually if you like doing things the hard way 🤓.
Works great in Saudi Arabia 🔓
Super fast servers
Easy to install on Windows
No logs = more privacy
Unlocks all the good stuff: Netflix, WhatsApp calls, dating apps
Yes, absolutely. You just need a VPN that’s strong enough to bypass local restrictions. Not all of them work, but MenaVPN does, and it’s made for the region.
You’re using a low-quality or free VPN
Saudi’s firewall detected it
Your app is outdated
Server you're connected to got blocked
Solution? Try another server or switch to a better VPN—hello, MenaVPN 👋
Yep. Just because you’re on the latest Windows doesn’t mean you’re immune to blocks or tracking. A VPN protects your traffic and unlocks what’s blocked. So yeah, still useful.
Go to Settings > Network & Internet > VPN.
Click “Add a VPN connection.”
Fill in the VPN info (you’ll get this from MenaVPN).
Save and connect.
Want to connect two PCs through a VPN?
Set up one PC as a VPN server using Windows built-in tools.
Configure port forwarding on your router.
Use the VPN client on the second PC to connect to the first.
It’s doable but kinda techy—most people just use a VPN service instead.
Install the app (like MenaVPN).
Open it, log in, and connect to a server.
Done. Now your PC is VPN-protected.
Open Settings > Network > VPN.
Click on “Add a VPN.”
Enter server info and name.
Save and connect.
But honestly, using an app is easier and faster.
Here’s a peek at what’s blocked:
Category | Examples |
---|---|
Dating Apps | Tinder, Bumble |
Calling Apps | WhatsApp Calls, Skype, IMO |
Streaming Sites | Some Netflix content, Hulu |
Gambling | 1xBet, Bet365 |
Adult Content | Entire category blocked |
Using a VPN is technically in a gray area. It's not illegal if you're not doing something illegal. Many people use it to access work, school tools, and entertainment.
Still, pick a trusted VPN that doesn’t leak info. That’s another reason why MenaVPN is the go-to here.
A tiny bit, yes—but if you use a fast VPN like Mena VPN, you won’t even notice.
Definitely. In fact, you should—it keeps you safe from hackers.
Try a different server, update the app, or contact support.
Not unless you’re installing the VPN on the router. Apps like Mena VPN work right out of the box.
