            Does the UAE have something similar to China?

            Unless they’re doing some serious DPI (no idea how they would do that on Wireguard traffic other than plain metadata mining), the only ways they can stop traffic is by stopping anything to certain IP spaces, or certain types of traffic through certain ports, or a combination of both. If they have truly blocked the Mullvad IP space, then no this will not work, but OP mentioned using a different app to access them, which lets me assume that it was a problem with the client.

                It’s not about the website. Unless they have blocked access to the “connection” endpoint that Mullvad operates, you should still be able to connect to it.

                Use TOR bridges. I don’t know how good their firewall is; can they deal with Obsf4/Snowflake too? If they can, I’ll admit that they are taking this seriously.

                Use OpenVPN with Mullvad/IVPN if you can, OpenVPN can be disguised as HTTPS traffic. I wouldn’t rely on a free VPN because of the data mining, and it’s only a matter of time before Proton gets banned too
