Is a VPN necessary to access certain applications with CoreESIM in Afghanistan?

Updated April 22, 2026

Yes, CoreESIM strongly recommends using a Virtual Private Network (VPN) while utilizing our data services in Afghanistan. Due to potential local internet restrictions and censorship, certain social media platforms, communication apps, and news websites may be intermittently or permanently blocked by authorities. A VPN can encrypt your internet traffic and route it through a server outside Afghanistan, allowing you to bypass these geo-restrictions and maintain access to your preferred online services.
