NordVPN no longer works in Saudi for majority of users since last year. It seems like STC took measures to restrict use of VPNs. I ended up cancelling my subscription. Thanks kyle1639I have heard the same about Nord VPN. How about ExpressVPN? Does it work? I just need it for What’sApp calls. X-vpn works fine for whatsapp calls. I mainly now use Facebook or Botim which works without VPN as well.

Be careful of VPN - recently it was announced of severe fines for using VPN on Kingdom. They have always been illegal, but seems that there is a major push to prevent their use.

Facebook messenger has been our main communication with home, with Skype where we had to call landlines and mobiles.
