VPN crackdown: Is your data truly safe?

Pakistan Software Houses Association says virtual private network (VPN) registration threatens a potentially $15 billion IT business. Clients could leave due to data protection concerns and add to operational costs for IT companies and freelancers.

Meanwhile, the Human Rights Commission of Pakistan says “the right to connectivity is a fundamental right—not a privilege. Instead of protecting this right in a country of millions of young people who depend increasingly on access to the internet as a means of exercising their civil, political, economic and social rights.”

The real question is - how safe is your data and internet browsing history and from whom?
