How is the Website Blocked by the Government?

First of all, you have to clear one of your misconceptions that the government blocks the website, nothing like this happens. If the government feels that this website is doing wrong, promoting pirated websites or providing wrong content, then our government will call ISP (Internet service provider) and ask them to block the website.

Internet service provider means a telecom company. Our government tells that telecom company to block those websites. Because the internet is provided by the telecom company itself. There are many types of a telecom company in India like; – BSNL, Airtel, Jio

How does VPN work

How VPN works;- Whenever we open a website, its request goes to the ISP first. After that our request goes to the server of that website. If an ISP has blocked a website, you cannot open that website.

If anyone in India would run internet, then he would run with Sim from jio, Airtel, Bsnl. It is offered by Sim Telecom Company. Our telecom company blocks the IP address of the website from which they are not able to open that website in India.

But if you open the same website from another country then it will open. Therefore, people open the Block Website by using other country servers within India or any other country through a VPNs.

Using VPNs does not let our government and telecom company know which website we are opening. But the country whose server we run the Internet knows everything that we are running. Apart from this, VPNs also knows which website we are opening. The ISP will only know that we are using another server.

After using this network, do not think that if you do anything wrong, you will not be caught. If you are using this private network in the country where you live, then the government of that country can get the Real IP Address by asking the server of the country where you are using the server.

Keep in mind that if a website belongs to India, then the Government can block the website by contacting the Direct Website server. But if the website is outside India, then our government cannot contact the Direct server and block it. Because the Rule & Regulation of all the countries is different. The website which is Illegal in India may be legal outside India.

• The real IP address we have is not visible to anyone. VPN changes our Real IP Address.

• Facebook, Whatsapp Ban in China. if we want to use Facebook and Whatsapp while in China, then we can use VPNs.
• Hackers cannot access the Connection inside the VPNs.
• Our internet becomes much more secure.
