I worked closely with Juniper and Citrix when their VPN services got banned in China. Trust me, they are solution available to make it work without impacting the IT industry with little or no downtime.

Possible but imagine the initial struggle. An act like this will definitely impact the country's ease of doing business internationally perception. Thoughts?

I'm unaware about specifics but people in China are still able to use VPN (maybe only techsavy people can). But things like these can't be effectively banned.

You can't trust the ISPs here and I'm not talking about them tracking your or blocking websites. BSNL keeps injecting ads (some containing malware) into regular http traffic. That's a major breach of trust for me. If your ISP is peddling junk like that, who knows what else they do with your data stream. It's on par with how your mobile number leaks when you use it in a legit application (like for a credit card for e.g.)
It's okay if big government is monitoring the major points but you still need to VPN out of the shady local nodes

Surfshark is equally bad if not worse from what I've read. Try ProtonVPN..
You say that but they really don't care. https://blog.malwarebytes.com/cybercrime/privacy/2021/03/21-million-free-vpn-users-data-exposed/?
Their response:
NordVPN safe after a third-party provider breach
We understand the security concerns that arose from the information found online by security researchers, and will address them in detail in this post.

These statements are very carefully worded which in itself is pretty dodgy and therefore damaging to a company where security is its core business.

Bad how? I'm curious
Lots of VPNs AND VPN review sites have been bought by Kape Technologies. Must read if you use any of their vpns. Kape is extremely shady.
It was unusably slow the last I had tried it. +From what I have heard their support system is horrible and they only issue static IPs? I also don't think they are completely open source. We can't guarantee what they do with our data. Almost all mainstream VPN reviews are funded by major players one way or another.

Surfshark supports openvpn connectivity. So we don't need to install their app on phone or desktop.It was unusably slow the last I had tried it. +From what I have heard their support system is horrible and they only issue static IPs?

I have only heard good things about Mullvad and ProtonVPN both of which happen to be completely open source. In fact, the Mozilla VPN is rebranded Mullvad!Best Privacy Tools & Software Guide in in 2024

Based on my readings and personal use, Surfshark is fine. As a layman, there is only so much we can do. Anyway, at the end of the day, Google, Fakebook & Paytm know where you live, what job you do and what you like to eat.
p.s. Had tried Proton. Was too expensive for me.
