Reasons to Use a VPN in India
The Indian Telegraph Act of 1855 allowed the government to intercept telegraphs for national security reasons. This archaic law continues to govern today’s broad-sweeping state surveillance, including the Centralised Monitoring System (CMS) used to monitor citizens’ browsing data.
The Information Technology Act (2000) directs censorship in the country. The Indian Computer Emergency Response Team has used it to block TikTok, Mobile Legends: Bang Bang, WeChat, AliExpress, PUBG Mobile, and many others. It also filters hundreds of news sites, blogs, and even Reddit.
PIA VPN gives you back your privacy and freedom in India. It masks your IP address and encrypts your traffic, boosting your online anonymity and unblocking restricted content and services.
Indian law requires VPNs to log and share user data with the state. As this goes against our privacy policy, we’ve removed our servers from the country. Instead of risking your data, we've set up geo-located servers just outside India's borders. The IP addresses these servers provide are registered to India so you'll still be able to browse with an Indian IP address.
