VPN stands for Virtual Private Network and is a secure way of being able to connect to a network, whether it is an internal business network or the internet. There are many reasons for using a VPN and many situations where they can be beneficial.

A new order issued to ISPs from the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) directs them to block all encrypted traffic on their networks. A PTA spokesperson told local media the reasoning was to prevent militants from using VPN traffic to coordinate themselves.
