Under the new directive, all internet service providers, data centers and content distribution networks must be licensed with the government. They must also conduct ?self-inspections? for any unlawful activity taking place on their servers, which would include those discreetly providing VPN services.
Between now and March 2018, authorities will enforce the regulations with inspections of cloud-hosting and content-delivery services, an industry that has shown signs of ?disorderly development,? the ministry said Sunday.
The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology said in a directive that it forbids the operation of virtual private networks (VPNs) or leased lines that allow users and businesses to access blocked overseas websites without government permission.
