December 02, 2024 (MLN): Minister of State for IT and Telecommunication Ms Shaza Fatima Khawaja has urged business users and freelancers to continue registering their IPs for uninterrupted VPN access.

She said in a statement that the government is fully conscious of the need for secure communications, and is working towards further smoothening the process of activation and usage of VPN, and till then, the situation will remain as is.

"We strongly urge users to continue registering their IPs through the PTA website", she added.
