China has been revamping its Internet security these days, and is reported to repress individuals and companies using VPNs to bypass the notorious firewall country. Known as the "Great Firewall", it is notorious for stop Chinese citizens to access content from other countries.
According to The Guardian , the new system is able to discover quickly and coded information block being communicated through virtual private networks . They will point out that China Unicorn, a major Chinese telecommunications company, is now cut off all connections where they suspect a virtual private network is involved.
This, however, comes after a long battle by the Chinese government to suppress the use of VPN connections to access restricted content. In May 2011, The Guardian reported that Internet users in China found their online connections unstable when using a VPN to access restricted access. Now it seems that the government has taken a step toward the elimination of all the use of virtual private networks altogether.
Although VPN enabled people to access blocked sites such as Facebook and other social media is banned in China, there is a danger in the fact that companies use VPNs to ensure secure connections within their organization.
online security is of course a major concern for all large companies, and therefore the use of an internal VPN is used to help protect sensitive information passing in a company. The new pressure on the use VPN to access restricted content could therefore interfere with the ability of a company to function properly.
The Chinese police its virtual road has long been a bone of contention with both Chinese netizens and the international community. Internet superpower Google removed its services completely continent after hacking allegations sponsored by the State of its Gmail service, while other critics include US Secretary of State, who in 2011 said the United STATES would provide $ 30 million to countries suffering from excessive web-censorship measures.
