Last month PTA streamlined the VPN registration process for organizations and freelancers for the first time. This allowed entities like software houses, call centers, banks, embassies, and freelancers to easily register their VPNs online through the PTA’s official website.
Freelancers are also required to provide proof of their project or company affiliation and an IP address for connectivity. For those using a fixed IP address, this can be obtained through their internet service provider.
