VPN for Business Travel
Zoom calls from Beijing. Slack from Dubai. Corporate access from Moscow. Here's how to keep your business tools working in restricted countries.
What gets blocked in business destinations
Many of the world's top business destinations — China, UAE, Russia, Saudi Arabia — block or heavily restrict the tools western businesses rely on daily. See our country-by-country VPN guide for destination-specific details before you fly.
Personal VPN vs corporate VPN
Most businesses use a corporate VPN (Cisco AnyConnect, Palo Alto GlobalProtect, Zscaler) for secure access to internal systems. A personal travel VPN does something different — it bypasses censorship and protects you on public Wi-Fi.
China-specific: both may be needed
In China, even corporate VPNs can be unreliable during crackdowns. Many large companies use dedicated MPLS circuits for China operations. As an individual business traveller, you need a personal VPN (ExpressVPN or Astrill) in addition to — or instead of — your corporate VPN.
