ISLAMABAD: Free and unregistered VPNs have become major cybersecurity risks. They expose citizens to hacking, data theft, foreign surveillance, and cybercrime.
To protect public safety and national cyber defense, the Government and PTA must enforce a complete ban on all free and unregistered VPNs, allowing only licensed, security-vetted VPN services.
▪︎ PTA must enforce the use of only licensed, registered VPNs.
▪︎ Free VPNs secretly log and sell user data.
▪︎ Unregistered VPNs are exploited by hackers, scammers, and anti-state networks.
▪︎ Unsafe VPNs weaken national cybersecurity and expose citizens to malware.
▪︎ Government must block all free/unregistered VPN IPs.
▪︎ Violators may face penalties, service suspension, or investigation.
▪︎ Businesses using unregistered VPNs risk legal and operational fallout.
▪︎ Secure, compliant VPNs protect privacy, finances, and national security.
Countries like India, UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Bangladesh already restrict or ban unauthorized VPNs as part of their national-security frameworks. Pakistan must adopt the same model.
