The deadline for registering Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) in Pakistan ends today, with the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) confirming the registration of over 27,000 VPNs so far. The Ministry of Interior is expected to decide whether to extend the deadline.
According to reports, the registration date is likely to be extended, given demands from the IT sector, freelancers, and other stakeholders. However, if no extension is announced, authorities are set to launch a crackdown on unregistered VPNs.
The PTA emphasized that VPN registration is vital for national security and data protection. Registered VPNs are seen as a step toward improving cybersecurity.
The original deadline for VPN registration was set for November 30. The decision on a possible extension remains pending as various sectors urge more time for compliance.
