PTA confirms whitelisting VPNs for ‘smooth and secure functioning’ of IT services, businesses
Sun, August 04, 2024
The Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) this week followed up on its plan to regulate the use of Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) in the country with a clarification that it was whitelisting VPNs through an “automated process” to ensure the “smooth and secure functioning of the IT services and online businesses.”
On Thursday, the authority’s head told a parliamentary committee that plans were in the works to regulate the use of VPNs in the country by whitelisting some proxy networks and blocking others.
While attending a meeting of the Standing Committee on Cabinet Secretariat, PTA Chairman retired Major General Hafeezur Rehman said once the policy was implemented, only whitelisted VPNs would function in Pakistan and the others would be blocked.
