The rules, which seek to address data security issues, have been called “excessive” and “overreaching” by experts. India’s latest cyber rules, notified April 28, require VPN service operators to maintain user registration information and usage data logs for a period of at least five years or longer. We remain committed to our no-logs policy and recommend everyone using our servers in India to follow our guidelines,” an official statement by ProtonVPN said. “The new Indian VPN regulations are an assault on privacy, and threaten to put citizens under a microscope of surveillance. Swiss privacy focused internet services provider Proton, which operates end to end encrypted email service Protonmail and the popular virtual private network (VPN) tool ProtonVPN, has called out India’s latest cyber security rules as an “assault on privacy.” The company joins fellow VPN service provider, NordVPN, in voicing concerns regarding rules that will soon require VPN service providers to maintain user logs – a move that could defeat the purpose of privacy that VPNs offer in the first place.
