"A ban on VPN services will hamper democratic freedoms enjoyed by Indians, and which are furthered by the internet," says Saini. He says users should use VPN services (they don't necessarily have to be commercial VPN services), even if they have nothing to hide. Saini is a big believer in VPNs and their ability to protect user information. "Considering that, banning one of the ways in which users circumvent censorship should be considered extremely harmful for the ecosystem of the internet in India and quality of life in the country in general," says Saini. He says that the ability of Indian internet users to browse the web freely is decisively fettered and will continue to be in the foreseeable future. He says that a sizeable number of websites are blocked in India - over 4000 - without regard to their content, whether pornographic, scientific, cultural, or anything else. Karan Saini, an ethical hacker, notes that VPNs allow people to access the uncensored internet. The service providers and these corporate conglomerates already know too much about me than I am comfortable with," says Mritunjay Rathore, who started using VPNs a while ago. And again, privacy is very important to me. So when I go to an airport or a cafe and use the net, I like to feel secure. A friend told me that out of many other issues, using the public internet is dangerous without VPNs. Experts say that there is a legitimate use of VPNs.
