The Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) has introduced a one-window IP and VPN registration operation to make sure that businesses like software houses, foreign missions and freelancers are running smoothly without a hitch.

On the websites of PTA and Pakistan Software Export Board (PSEB), businesses can now register using a single platform. To address the ongoing discussion on supporting of freelancers, a delegation of Pakistan Freelancers Association (PAFLA) paid a visit to PTA Headquarters.

Major General Hafeez Ur Rehman, Chairman of PTA, welcomed the PAFLA delegation warmly and notified them that PTA is taking initiative to facilitate transactions of business for the IT industry.

In order to prevent any sort of disturbance to business in the case of a national access interference, software houses, banks, enterprises, and freelancers are registering IP addresses for virtual private networks (VPNs).

Registration of VPN only takes 2 to 3 days and is a simple online cost-free process. The team of PTA also talked about programs to raise awareness among freelancers and businesses on the topic using podcasts, webinars and tutorials. According to a statement of PTA, over 20,000 IPs have been registered for VPN use through one-window operation.

PTA is urging businesses to register their VPNs to safeguard their digital activities and for uninterrupted business. Businesses should visit PTAs website for the registration.
