I have a question regarding VPN usage in South Korea and Saudi Arabia. I may go for short term work in either South Korea or Saudi for a few months. Does anybody have any idea, how safe it is to use a VPN as a foreigner in these countries? Worse case scenario, can I use a VPN in a Azure VM and scp torrent downloaded files or something?

Will these work with torrent downloads and such? For regular browsing it will work I guess, but won't downloads be really really throttled. Please forgive me if I'm asking dumb things.

I'd just play it safe, avoid anything that could remotely be considered "suspicious".

If you can bring your own media, bring a few offline shows and movies, books or what ever else you like.

Otherwise stick to nonral websites.
