The new regulations regarding the use of VPNs in Pakistan are being prepared by the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA).
The proposals were revealed by PTA Chairman Retired Maj General Hafeezur Rehman during a hearing of a parliamentary committee. All other VPNs will be blocked while a list of authorized VPNs that may be used within the nation is created by the PTA.
The purpose of this action is to control VPN access and guarantee that only networks with permission may be accessed.
This regulation aims to more efficiently regulate and keep an eye on VPN usage. Only whitelisted VPNs will be permitted, in an effort by the PTA to improve security and stop VPN abuse for illicit purposes. This might entail engaging in illegal activity or circumventing internet restrictions by employing VPNs.
Businesses and people that depend on VPNs for private and secure internet access are likely to be impacted by these new rules. The PTA will probably offer instructions on how to submit an application for VPN clearance and specify the requirements for whitelisting.
