💨 Abstract

Pakistan authorities have requested the country's media watchdog to block illegal Virtual Private Networks (VPNs), citing national security concerns over their alleged misuse by terrorist groups. The authorities claim that VPNs are increasingly being used by terrorists for communications, financial transactions, and access to pornographic and blasphemous content. The Interior Ministry has asked the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) to block unauthorized VPNs while allowing registered ones.
