VPN IRAN Tips

At the end, we have some tips for you if you are coming to our beautiful Iran and plan to use A VPN:

• As said before, download your VPN. It will be a challenge for you once in Iran;

• If possible, have a backup link of VPN download, in case the first one don’t work;

• Usually the “fastest country” option is the best one when you’re asked to choose your server location;

• Have your Power Bank or charger in your backpack, since running a VPN will drain the mobile battery quickly.

List of Most Popular Blocked Websites in Iran

Firewall blockings and filters on some websites and apps like Facebook, Youtube, SoundCloud, Pinterest, Twitter, Foursquare, Quora, Reddit, CNN, BBC and few others, are some of the filtered websites in Iran at the moment. But if you thing we don’t use these websites in Iran, AGAIN, you’re totally and absolutely wrong.

Most of Iranians are equipped! With different kind of VPNs on their mobile phones and electronic devices to surf the internet, more securely and of course have access to the restricted websites. Generally, a VPN (Virtual Privacy Network) helps you to overcome the firewalls by changing your IP location and then encrypting your data. You can simply choose the country you want the IP shows in, or just choose the “fastest country” option after running your VPN. Therefore, your connection will be transferred through your chosen IP location.

Note: If you intended to use these free VPNs, make sure you will download them before your trip. It will be a challenge and also time consuming for a tourist to do that while in Iran without a local’s help.
