The Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) has started the re-registration of VPN service providers. Under a new system, providers must secure class licenses, which will cost between Rs 100,000 to Rs 300,000. This move is aimed at regulating VPN services and improving monitoring across the country.

The Pakistan Software Houses Association supported this initiative.
