The Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) has received applications from two additional companies seeking approval to operate as VPN service providers in the country.
PTA aims to register a total of seven VPN providers by May 2025 as part of its regulatory framework.
The federal government may impose restrictions on specific VPN services based on predefined criteria.
The VPN registration process was initiated in December 2024 to regulate internet access while maintaining cybersecurity and data privacy standards in the country.
