VPN Use Spikes in India Following Telegram Ban
Summary
VPN usage jumped in India after authorities blocked Telegram to curb cheating tied to a medical entrance exam. Proton VPN reported a sharp rise in hourly registrations, and Google search interest for Telegram-related VPN terms also increased. The article also covers the debate over whether the block is proportionate, with critics arguing that targeted enforcement would be better than a blanket ban. Telegram’s CEO accused Reliance of routing interference, while Reliance denied involvement. The story mainly centers on consumer privacy and access behavior rather than a software company event.
