VPN for Iraq
Keep Facebook, WhatsApp, Instagram and Twitter/X working when local shutdowns hit, and keep your connection encrypted the rest of the time - with an Iraq server from Le VPN.
See plansWhen unrest or exam periods trigger shutdowns
Iraq's government has repeatedly restricted or shut down access to Facebook, Twitter/X, WhatsApp and Instagram during periods of civil unrest - most severely in 2019-2020, when outages ran for weeks in some areas - and at times during school exam periods to prevent cheating. These aren't permanent blocks; they're triggered by specific events. Le VPN routes your connection through a server outside Iraq, so those apps keep working through the same network disruption everyone else is dealing with.
An Iraq IP address when you need one
Connect to Le VPN's Iraq server and your connection looks like it's coming from inside the country - useful for managing an Iraq-based account or service while you're traveling. Switch to any of our other 100+ server locations just as easily when you'd rather route through somewhere else entirely.
Encrypted, on any network
Beyond specific app disruptions, Le VPN encrypts all of your traffic end to end - on home broadband, mobile data, or public Wi-Fi at a hotel or café. Whoever else is on that network can't see what you're doing. Five devices can stay connected at once on a single account, so your phone and laptop are both covered.

United Arab EmiratesVPN for Iraq: frequently asked questions
VPN use itself isn't specifically outlawed in Iraq, and many residents and visitors use one, particularly during the periods when social media access is restricted. Rules can vary and change, so if you're uncertain about your specific situation, it's worth checking current local guidance.
Not permanently. Iraq's government has repeatedly restricted or shut down access to Facebook, Twitter/X, WhatsApp and Instagram during periods of civil unrest - most severely in 2019-2020, with outages running for weeks in some areas - and sometimes during school exam periods to prevent cheating. These are event-triggered shutdowns rather than a standing block, but a VPN keeps those apps working through them either way.
In most cases, yes. Le VPN routes your connection through a server outside Iraq, so app-level restrictions imposed inside the country don't apply to your traffic. Connect before you expect disruption if you can, since it's easier to start a session on a stable connection.
Five, at the same time, on one account. Install the app on your phone, laptop, tablet and more - the limit is how many are connected simultaneously, not how many you install it on.
You may notice a small difference, since your traffic takes an extra hop through our server. For most everyday use it's not noticeable. If one server feels slow, Le VPN gives you more than one location to connect through.
It's worth downloading and setting up the app before you travel, so it's ready to go regardless of local conditions when you land. After that, just open the app and connect.
