Painful internet restrictions in DOH

Every time I transit Doha, I am basically cut off from work and social connections when using Doha airport WiFi.

- I am required to use VPN for work when out of country and Doha WiFi blocks all known to
me VPNs

- I use Telegram messenger to communicate with friends and it’s also blocked.

from my understanding neither VPN nor telegram messenger are prohibited in Qatar.

Services of Airalo also blocked so I can not activate Qatar eSIM.

Is there any reason Doha airport WiFi so restrictive beyond Qatar legal requirements?
