VPN crackdown: Is your data truly safe?
Understanding Pakistan's crackdown on unregistered VPNs, their labeling as un-Islamic, and a closer look at what VPNs actually are.
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.

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