“PTA Launches New Registration Portal for VPN Users”
The PTA recently hosted a consultation to discuss its new framework for VPN registration, aimed at enhancing security for Pakistan’s IT and e-commerce sectors.
As part of this initiative, the PTA launched an online portal that enables businesses, freelancers, and other users to easily register their VPNs. This move is designed to facilitate safer and smoother online operations, especially for those who rely on VPNs for professional activities.
During the session, the PTA addressed concerns regarding recent issues with VPN usage, clarifying that disruptions were caused by a “technical glitch,” not throttling of VPN services. This explanation helped ease concerns and provided businesses with a clearer understanding of the registration framework’s objectives.
The new VPN registration system is part of Pakistan’s broader strategy to support its expanding digital economy while prioritizing national security. By promoting responsible VPN use, the PTA aims to prevent potential security risks while ensuring that legitimate users can continue their work without disruption.
