It is going to be counter-productive especially for businesses. “It’s a very strange and hare-brained idea to block VPNs. The proposal to ban VPN services in India could have a serious influence on IT firms running operations remotely to banks doing transactions online, say Internet policy experts and security researchers who called the ban a “strange and ill-judged” idea. The Ministry must take initiatives to strengthen the tracking and surveillance mechanisms by “further improving and developing the state-of-the-art technology to put a check on the use of VPN and the dark web.” It also recommended that a coordination mechanism should be developed with international agencies to ensure that these VPNs are blocked permanently. The Committee, therefore, recommended that the Ministry of Home Affairs should coordinate with the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) to identify and permanently block such VPNs with the help of internet service providers. Moreover, cybercriminals are well versed with technology and are finding new ways to commit cybercrimes.Ĭurrently, VPN can easily be downloaded as many websites are providing such facilities and advertising them. It also showed its concern regarding the unauthorized VPN and the dark web that are bypassing the security walls and need to be blocked.
