ExpressVPN logs out, rejects govt demand https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/tech/technology/expressvpn-rejects-cert-in-directives-suspends-india-ops/articleshow/91956961.cms
Virtual private network provider ExpressVPN has shut down its physical servers in India, rejecting the data storage demands made in the new cyber security directives issued in April by India’s Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT-In), the company announced in a blog post.
However, the VPN provider registered in the British Virgin Islands has assured that users will still be able to connect to servers that provide Indian IP addresses through virtual servers based in Singapore and the UK, while users in India can be “confident that their online traffic is not being logged or stored, and that it’s not being monitored by their government”.
Similarly, NordVPN told ET that if the current position does not change in the next couple of weeks, they will remove physical servers in India as well, as “there will be no other way to stay in India while preserving the privacy of our customers and integrity of our service”.
