Software houses, call centers, freelancers, and foreign missions or embassies have begun registering their VPNs to maintain consistent and uninterrupted internet connectivity.
The PTA stated that the VPN registration process is part of its ongoing efforts, which are continuously improved in partnership with the Ministry of Information Technology (MoIT), the Pakistan Software Export Board, and the Pakistan Software Houses Association (P@SHA).
