The Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) has initiated second phase shutdown of unregistered virtual private networks (VPNs).
The VPNs are being used to access restricted websites in Pakistan.
The two-day exercise will conclude on November 30. It is part of PTA’s efforts to regulate illegal VPN usage.
The authority plans to take action against unregistered VPNs starting December 1.
The PTA recently concluded its first trial run of VPN closures. It has mandated banks, embassies, IT firms, and freelancers to register their VPNs, with approximately 25,000 VPNs already registered to date.
On November 21, the PTA hosted a consultation session at its headquarters, focusing on the processes of VPN registration and facilitation.
