People in Kashmir are connected with help of (VPN) virus together reversely people in China are disconnected due to Coronavirus. As the virus Coronavirus has engulfed Wuhan state of China, simultaneously the new technical virus VPN (Virtually Private Network) has engulfed the valley of Kashmir. High speed Internet block down continues since 5th of August 2019 in the valley. When Government of India had scraped Article 35A from the Indian Constitution. Enormous episodes took place in all these months which could enormously be explained in volumes of books rather than articles, stories and reports. One of the scenic and psychological episode is still being played not by the administration but by the people of the valley under the drastic internet lockdown. Time is too distant that could diverse us from the episodes to the historical explanations.
I am just hinting towards talk of the town just VPN. As the virus emerged not from China but from the technical friends of modern people of modern world, that we call smartphones. It just started when Government of India announced to restore 2g services in January 2020 after six months. Though 2g services were restored by district with the limited access and limited speed noticing the list of black listed websites and apps. All these more than 300 hundred of websites were not much concerning for the people rather the most concerning point was the access to the social apps like Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, Whats App, YouTube etc.
Therefore the 2g internet restoration with limited speed and limited access didn’t please the people much. People could have relaxed if all the websites could have been blocked and social media apps could be accessed. Here we go with the virus as means and tool to increase the speed and break the blockades of social media, by installing the VPNs that most of technical experts proved insecure and risky. Many technical experts were busy in persuading the people to avoid using VPNs, on the other hand people were thirstily hankering after these VPNs installations.
You could see usually, University and college students while meeting their friends daily greeting one another but this panorama is totally reverse now a days. Students welcome and leaving notes are not greetings and wishes but a small decorated line” Which VPN are you using?”
If you happen to be in Kashmir now a days, you are traveling in a public bus take your phone out of the pocket, slide your screen up and down continuously, suddenly you will receive the valuable attention of the youth around with their smartphones in their hands. Some may peep your phone secretly some may ask you directly. “Which VPN are you using?”
As the trend has been common since the 2g services were restored but Government lately in coordination with the major telecommunication companies like Airtel and Jio created firewalls for the telecommunication companies to restrict the VPN access. They spent crores of rupees to create firewalls that may restrict the users to access the blacklisted apps and websites. But this measure didn’t work well as expected in the 5th Generation world. One is blocked another is installed and this process still continues. People have become so much familiar with these VPNs that even an illiterate persons have learned to set these VPN connections smartly.
Be sure! Don’t reply your friend so quickly with in seconds otherwise he will ask you. Which VPN are you using? I was traveling from my home to University I heard this VPN as many times that my ears are still buzzing with the sound VPN.
Are you in Kashmir? If yes! Just observe your best and nearest friend. He continuously texts you with just a two lettered word (HI) not to know about your well being but to check his/her strong and speedy VPN connection. The people who didn’t give even shit to you. May at least ask you once a day. Which VPN are you using?
When such melodious episodes aired to the technical ears of state administration. They suddenly issued the notice ordering large amount of fine for the person who can be caught having VPN in his/her phone. The virus has spread so close that it doesn’t take even an hour to reach every technical friend in the pockets. As precautions were given by the technical experts that this virus is so dangerous that it could ruin the whole life of a person in one way or the other without showing any symptoms. Many of the same cases have been found of losing data and money linked to the phone on which VPNs are connected.
“Experts say that using VPN means to keep television in our home and give its remote in the hands of neighbors”
Surely we are letting these third party apps to control our personal data box remotely and secretly. These unavoidable consequences can lead to the life long catastrophes for the people. The administration is surely much known than common people still paving ways to all these third party apps to snatch and control the people secretly.
Thus my ultimate request to the state and center administration is either to restore the data services and make all these social apps accessible to the people or block everything as previously to save the people from being the victims of secret theft war.
