Smart DNS For Server Middle East Saudi Arabia

Dear Proton Team,

I hope this message finds you well.

First of all, I would like to thank you for providing a reliable and privacy-focused VPN service. I’ve been a happy user of ProtonVPN and greatly appreciate your commitment to privacy and open internet access.

However, I would like to bring to your attention an issue that affects many users in the Middle East, especially those in Saudi Arabia. Currently, popular regional streaming platforms such as Shahid block access when using ProtonVPN, even when connected to a Saudi IP server.

This limitation prevents users from enjoying local content while using your VPN, which is essential for privacy and security. I kindly request that you consider implementing a Smart DNS feature, or adjust your Saudi servers to be compatible with local streaming services.

Below is a list of the major streaming services used in the Middle East and Saudi Arabia, which are important to support for a better user experience:

    I completely support this suggestion. Many users in Saudi Arabia and across the Middle East rely on ProtonVPN not only for international content but also to protect their privacy while accessing local streaming platforms. The inability to use services like Shahid while connected to Saudi ProtonVPN servers reduces the overall user experience.

    Implementing a Smart DNS feature, similar to what some other VPN providers offer, would be a valuable addition. It would allow users to enjoy regional streaming services without compromising their privacy and security. Improving compatibility with major Middle Eastern platforms would make ProtonVPN an even stronger choice for users in the region.

    For anyone looking for information about local streaming and entertainment experiences in the Middle East, I also came across this resource: https://watertankerserviceinjeddah.online/

    I hope the Proton team considers this feedback and continues enhancing support for regional services. Thank you for listening to your community.
