“PTA Blocks Unregistered VPNs to Tighten Internet Regulations in Pakistan”
“The Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) has announced a nationwide block on unregistered Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) in an effort to strengthen internet regulations and curb unauthorized online activity. This move aims to improve cybersecurity, prevent illegal usage of VPNs, and ensure that all users accessing VPN services comply with national regulations.
According to PTA officials, individuals and organizations wishing to use VPNs must register with the authority to obtain approval. The registration process is designed to prevent misuse of VPNs for activities that may bypass regulatory oversight or enable access to restricted content. PTA has clarified that this measure is part of a broader initiative to ensure data security, prevent cybercrime, and maintain legal compliance in internet usage across Pakistan.
The announcement has raised concerns among some internet users and businesses who rely on VPNs for secure access to company networks, online privacy, or access to global services. However, PTA reassures that registered VPNs will not be affected, and the new restrictions primarily target unregistered and unauthorized VPN usage.
This policy aligns with similar measures in other countries aiming to enhance national cybersecurity frameworks. PTA has urged all VPN users to register as soon as possible to avoid service disruptions, and penalties may be imposed on those found using unregistered VPN services.”
