    VPNs are not illegal in China, Russia, UAE, or the DPRK. That’s 4 out of 5 where you didn’t research it properly. In China, VPN use is legal, setting up your own VPN for domestic use is legal, but renting nodes to foreign companies is illegal unless you can document what the nodes are being used for which VPN providers can’t. In Russia, VPN use is legal, but VPN providers must comply with censorship laws and deny access to their blacklist. In the UAE, VPN use is legal, but using a VPN while committing a crime is illegal (So you get a stricter sentence than if you had just committed the crime). In the DPRK, VPN use is legal, but kinda pointless since they have a nation-wide intranet. If you want to access the internet, you use the PUST-run VPN. If you’re a tourist, you can use it to connect to your home or work VPN.

        You’re propagating the misinformation. You should try to verify things before repeating them. The tweet didn’t provide sources and isn’t made by someone with credentials.
