The internet VPN or the Virtual Private Network has been completely blocked in Kashmir after low speed internet was restored on the mobile phones in January.
VPN applications had been much in demand in the Kashmir Valley with people using it to access social media sites.
“None of the VPN applications is working on any phone network now,” said a Srinagar-based businessman who installed VPN applications on his phone.
Earlier the government had stated that internet restrictions in Jammu and Kashmir will remain operative till March 4 as the J&K administration said that VPNs are being misused by anti national elements including handlers from across the border to bypass the Internet restrictions for coordinating with their operatives in J&K to plan terror acts.
In January, the government issued a list of 301 white-listed websites which can be accessed. All other websites, including social media platforms remain blocked.
But the restoration of mobile internet 2G in Kashmir after nearly six months generated little hope due to extremely slow speed.
The speed has been further decreased and it takes a lot of time for the mails to refresh.
“Earlier the speed was slow, but now it is dropped down even further for the last two days, We are not able to upload the pictures,” said a Kashmir based journalist.
For broadband restoration the businessmen are signing bonds committing not to allow IP address for accessing social media.
The bond also bars use of VPNs, WiFi, encrypted files, videos and uploading of photos. All USB ports of the computer will have to be disabled also.
The business units or the company will be responsible for the breach or misuse of the internet.
The business house is also required to provide complete access to all its content and infrastructure as and when required by security agencies.
A MAC (minimum access control) will ensure restriction to the use of internet access to registered devices through a single PC.

Hi I am from west bengal living in howrah ,I want to share my opinion regarding the kashmir issues ….its true that the entire state has been going through a lot of hardships as a result the scenario over there is deplorable right now so I think govt should look into this matter and take necessary steps as soon as possible . I think being a human human right is ouf basic need and no one should be deprived of it …our media always focuses on the dark side of the valley there are so many positive sides which should not be overlooked ….the students are really very talented they should be given equal right just like us ….its sheer injustice …no doubt about it ….please do something for them ….its my request it really pricks my conscience that where we are getting all opportunities on the other hand kashmir which we claim its our part of country just taking away everything from them …its really pathetic …
Its really difficult to understand. First the administration made all the ISPs to create a firewall 🔥 to block all VPNs, So that internet users cannot access social media sites and after blocking all VPNs. Administration have Whitelisted the social media sites. What was the purpose to create a firewall 🔥? Hehe
The J&K administration is totally illogical. They can Blacklist social media sites and remove the high speed internet curbs. Whitelisting the social media sites and extending the high speed internet curbs, How it will benefit the information seekers? . They all need high speed internet.
We don’t want live with india. But they are forcing us to live with them. What is this?
#kashmir wants freedom
Please look into the matter it’s very important for our future is depending on it. Govt has restored 300 websites but all are useless, even some govt portal websites are not working. I’m a student and I have to go for further studies and for which I have to give entrance but the study material is not available according to syllabus. Internet was very helpful but now it’s not working here. If govt wants to ban social media please do it but at least open other web sites. I know no one will listen it because hum kashmiri hai hamari koyi nhi sunta.

Internet services are the backbone of this era as we live in the hi-tech world where world is swayed by the e-services.So everyone is completely relying on the internet,we in Kashmir valley are facing dearth of internet services from a very long period which has affected ecerone here in Kashmir and in particular students.we have to wait at govt offices for the important stuff which makes our goings miserable.we request govt to please consider our legitimate demand of restoring internet services here to make us compatible to other people.
Big shame on Administration.
I am from kashmir,in my previous class class i easily qaulify for next class with great result, because i hear lectures from you tube.But in this class I have got below marks than previous class because internet has been closed because of article.It is actually dominance of central government.India is actually not a democratic country and has not federal government.It is dominated by union government.I think people can’t enjoy full rights,mostly in kashmir.kashmir is the region dominated by muslim people but see there is hindu ruler without elections. Can we say this is democracy.This is not democracy.This is actually oppression
