All internet traffic is already monitored since 2010-2012. Whatever traffic that goes out of country is monitored. There are filters installed where the whole traffic gets mirrored and is then monitored.
Banning vpn is one thing and stopping people from using it is other. There are many ways one can still use vpn....there are is one decentralized vpn which u can run on ur Internet connection and u earn crypto for it.
I ran it for a month and heck a lot of people use it....my 1 day of data usage on it was 100gb with 100mbps speed alotted to it.

India Cracks Down On VPNs: Cloudflare’s 1.1.1.1 Among Removed Apps From Apple & Google Stores
The Indian Ministry of Home Affairs has ordered the removal of more than half a dozen Virtual Private Network (VPN) applications from the Apple App Store and Google Play Store, citing alleged violations of Indian law. Among those affected is Cloudflare’s 1.1.1.1 app. Google disclosed this...

Always find it a bit odd that in a tech forum, people take the effort to type something but find it difficult to provide a link.
VPN servers were already effectively barred from hosting in India with the requirement to maintain all logs in 2022. This is the next step where they will eventually ban the apps and websites for most VPN providers.
But then, it will still be possible to use Wireguard, OpenVPN apps as long as the providers provide the to necessary config, if sideloading is considered risky. Or else it is quite easy to set your own on a low end VPS.
Old news. VPNs are technically have been banned for a long time in India.
We had a thread for it.
You can ban anything in India if you attach the magical word (terrorist) to it.

Why is no one talking about it? There's hardly any news covering this matter.
If this goes through, India will be one more country to ban VPN after china, russia and north korea. Probably first democracy.
We already don't get top of the line freedom of speech, I know that but this is in a new league itself.

Proposal to ban VPNs has India Inc worried
‘Strange and ill-judged’ idea that would have a serious impact on data security of MNCs and financial firms, say policy
Don’t ban VPNs: The pros definitely outweigh the cons
The fact that VPNs provide secure networks which facilitate smooth and safe data transmission cannot be ignored.

You will find no VPN servers hosted here. All major VPN providers have moved the servers away from India as Govt demanded they share their logs. There are no logs to share in most cases as they are on RAM only servers. Since no logs can be provided they can't be hosted in India. However VPN is not a website like tiktok which you can just ban. Its just a exit node which can be hosted on any ip and any location. I can just buy a VPS in US or Europe and just make a personal VPN. Its not possible to block when you know how. But you an prevent the 90% of the people from accessing VPNs if you remove easy access like apps in playstore, apple store. Block access to major VPNs like Nord, Private Internet access, Express VPN etc. But complete block is a pipe dream. Unless you are North Korea where all computers are monitored and people have no freedom at all.
Even the crazy Chinese firewall cant block VPNs so I would doubt India can implement a VPN ban on a scale with the biggest population in the world. You will have no issue with using youtube, gmail and normal internet behind the chinese firewall if you have VPN and in terms of technological capability for censorship Chinese are far superior.
Also every single MNC company network is on their own VPN. How would you ban VPN and expect everything to just work ?

Actually on certain ISPs like Jio Gigafiber they block Tor and Openvpn-based VPN sites with DPI so it can't even be bypassed.India Cracks Down On VPNs: Cloudflare’s 1.1.1.1 Among Removed Apps From Apple & Google Stores
