"Officials said a police team was on patrolling duty on Tuesday when during routine frisking in Dharamsal area, a man was found to be using banned VPN on his mobile phone."
"...routine frisking..."
Thats how its done people, ban something from the internet, then check you in the real world. Good luck to us all in the "New Openess"
In an order issued on April 24, Additional District Magistrate of Rajouri Rajeev Kumar Khajuria ordered immediate suspension of VPN services in the district as a preventive measure to protect all information related to the ongoing Lok Sabha elections and other sensitive data from cyber attacks.
I still don't understand why they banned VPN. How banning VPN would protect the election?
- Completely unrelated. VPNs, while imperfect, are effective and accessible tools for circumventing surveillance. That’s why governments don’t like them.
Are the VPNs not secure?
- They are! But how is gov gonna spy on you, you unpatriotic scum.. Basically
  
  😂
- If we're speaking of the technology, depends on implementation. "VPN" is a fairly broad term.
  
  Even the most secure VPN technology is only as secure as the endpoint.

  Dharamsal
  Isn't that where the Dalai Lama lives?
