Every app below is on Google Play or the provider’s own site, documents what it logs and has an independent audit. They are ranked on documented features for people in Saudi Arabia; for a Saudi IP address from abroad, check the Saudi server line in each card.

 Surfshark | Best value with a Saudi IP | Yes, virtual (Riyadh) | No (7-day trial) |
 Proton VPN | Best free plan | Yes, virtual (London), paid only | Yes, unlimited data, 1 device |
 ExpressVPN | Easiest to use | Yes, virtual | No (mobile trial) |
 Private Internet Access | Unlimited devices, Saudi IP | Yes, virtual (Dubai) | No (7-day mobile trial) |
 CyberGhost | Longest refund window | Yes, virtual (Riyadh) | No (24-hour desktop trial) |

 TunnelBear | Simplest free app | No | Yes, 2 GB a month |
Our selection criteria
- The app is on Google Play or the provider’s own site, not a third-party APK site.
- An independent firm has audited the no-logs claim or the apps.
- The provider says whether it has a Saudi location and whether it is virtual.
- Free plan, trial, devices and refunds are on the provider’s own pages.
We removed several apps that this page used to list. Atlas VPN shut down in April 2024. The VPN Gate client we linked was a third-party app, and the site behind it no longer works. ThetaVPN, MenaVPN and IPVanish are not ranked any more: for the first two we found no independent audit, and IPVanish’s own site would not let us check its facts.

Android settings worth turning on
- Always-on VPN: in Settings, open Network and internet, then VPN, tap the gear next to your VPN and turn on Always-on VPN.
- Block connections without VPN: on the same screen, so nothing leaks if the VPN drops.
- Split tunnelling: many VPN apps let you choose apps that skip the VPN, such as a local banking app.
Menu names differ a little between phone makers. Avoid APK files from download sites: a fake VPN app can read everything you send through it.
