The Indian government has passed law to start enforcing Virtual Private Network providers operating within India to store logs for a period of 5 years.
Easy fix. Use servers and services not in India
Politicians are so stupid.
Every vpn provider in India will move their corporate office to Panama. Predictable.
That doesn’t make VPNs pointless in India. A VPN still would hide your traffic details from your ISP, and other devices on same LAN. A VPN still would let you defeat geo-blocking. A VPN still would hide your home IP address from destination web sites.
A VPNs primary purpose is to extend a private network over a public one and allow people to securely connect to it, e.g. if a company has resources it does not want to expose to the public internet it can have them accessible only from their private network and use a VPN to allow its employees to still access these resources when they are working from home. This use case is still very much possible in India. A neat side effect of a VPN is that since all your traffic to the public internet goes through the private network and the traffic to and from the private network is encrypted, your ISP cannot see what you’re doing on the internet. This supposedly gives you some kind of anonymity. And sure, if the VPN provider is required to log your activity and potentially give out the information to authorities, your anonymity is compromised. But again, this is one application if VPNs but not even their main application. So saying that VPNs have become pointless in India is kind of absurd.
Honest ? If I would have a VPN Company outside of India , I would say : “Fuck you !”
so it is not private anymore
should call vgn
Like someone commented vpn not to become completely pointless depending on your purpose of using it.
So any solution regarding this situation???I don’t wanna have my data logged
it seems like all VPN companies are going to pull out their servers from India now
Yeah, that is what scammer operations running out of India do. Of course, they are also probably using free VPNs to avoid having to pay for a VPN. 
Examples, preferably open source or free
A lot of users are single minded regarding what a VPN does. For some they only see a VPN as defeating geo restrictions and most users really honestly don’t value the encrypted data feature of VPNs.
Can we still visit all the block sites and contant after the new law please answer me because i am a student here and my family lives in china i use vpn for WeChat can it still run? please answer anyone i am worried
only possible solution right now is to use proxychains and tor browser
You can setup your own vpn, but that’s gonna cost you some bucks. In very simple terms, you have to buy a vm server(this costs money), install openVpn(or similar service) and configure the server to not store any logs.
This is very high level picture, you can find many tutorials online to accomplish this. The hosting starts at around 5 USD pm and goes up according to your usage.
Ohk thanks for the info. Can you recommend any video for reference?
Uh, actually, VPNs were first created for secure corporate site-to-site communications over the public Internet. And corporations still use them heavily for that purpose. Individuals using VPNs for remote access happened later.
Uh, actually, that’s exactly what they said? A VPN’s primary purpose is to extend a private network (like a corporation’s network) over a public one (like the Internet) and allow people (i.e. employees) to securely connect to it…
I am pretty sure you would still be able to do that…
Right but you said ‘corporate site-to-site communications’. Maybe this is a regional difference (I’m a long way from North America), but ‘corporate’ here speaks of offices and workers, not data centres.
