PTA introduced an online portal for users to register their VPNs

The Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) recently hosted a consultation on its new VPN registration framework, aiming to create a secure environment for Pakistan’s IT and e-commerce sectors.

The PTA introduced an online portal for users to register their VPNs, ensuring smoother operations for businesses and freelancers. The session also addressed concerns over VPN misuse and disruptions, clarifying that recent issues were due to a “technical glitch” rather than throttling.

This initiative supports Pakistan’s growing digital economy while reinforcing national security.
