Using a VPN While Traveling Internationally
It is generally a good idea to download and install a VPN client before you leave the U.S. There are some countries where it may be difficult or impossible to download one while in the country. Some countries go further and restrict access to VPNs or even ban their use. Further, international travelers must abide by the import laws and regulations of the destination country(ies) as well as U.S. export control regulations. Specifically, there are additional considerations when traveling internationally with certain data encryption software (potentially including VPNs).
For more information about using a VPN while traveling internationally, see Guidelines for Domestic and International Travelers. For issues related to compliance with export control regulations, contact the U-M export control officer, exportcontrols@umich.edu.
