VPN providers operating in Turkey will need to get a license from the official authority according to the new regulation. Providers who don’t obtain a license will be banned.
The regulation aims to put VPN services under a transparency and security framework. Licensed VPN apps will be subject to regulatory oversight to ensure compliance.
