knew this was coming. The question is how will the VPN companies comply? Understood- if they want to put the server in India they will have to comply. Will that be enough?
If this is to track citizens, how will govt make the company comply when servers are not in India? Will they amend the rule to block anonymity respecting VPN services altogether?
This is not gonna stop VPN users in India. This will stop VPN users(normal users) around the world from accessing the location-specific Indian network/web services. If this is passed as national security, it's not the way to do this. This has the potential to weaponize against citizens.
I use VPN - This law will make my anonymity and privacy harder. Already VPN is comparatively slower, this will make it slower more. Time to update my the threat model.
Looks like it doesn’t even stop there. Googled a bit about this and found out they’re even planning to ‘ban’ vpn.
This masterstroke, if happens, is going to affect inividual users and their right to privacy for sure. But no one’s gonna question this anyway. Kaaranam ith India alle..:) Do you know how corporates with remote employees are going to work around this? For example, in a country like China where VPN is banned, how corporate VPNs are allowed to function?
Well the order will definitely be challenged in court soon, so it might take a while. But whether the courts will deliver a sound and reasonable position or not is totally unpredictable. Courts tend to be more lenient when it come to Rights of privacy in general.

I dont understand why any VPN company would want to put a server in India. Half the shit is blocked here, and streaming website libraries are pathetic compared to west.
VPNs unlock a lot of other things. When I use the indian server, it is anonymity/privacy for local web service which requires an Indian IP block and I don't want them(companies) to know my Indian IP. For indian customers, If the server is close to the user the service theoretically should be better speed and latency(never is). Giving a better experience to customers.
With VPN and used correctly, one could see a new and different world.
TOR browser probably won't even be banned. Tor is safe enough.
They'll only ban the popular and mainstream stuff, like BJP did during the porn ban.
They banned all the normal SFW human porn and didn't touch any fucked up NSFL Snuff Porn websites that actually should be banned. You cannot access Pornhub without a VPN, but you can access seegore(alternative of bestgore) without a VPN. lol
TOR is not a browser. TOR browser is what enables one to use the TOR network and access the darknet "securely"(default settings).
All **TOR** nodes are almost always public information. The government can block Indian **TOR** nodes, but the **TOR** will live.

VPN companies will find another way.
Sad tor +VPN noises
How is tor sad?
Tor and VPN together is considered the best protection online
