The Tanzania Communications Regulatory Authority banned the use of VPNs without a permit in the country.
The TCRA clarified that using VPNs is not prohibited, but users must report the VPNs they use and provide necessary information.
Residents and citizens must fill out a form available on the TCRA website by October 30, 2023, providing their individual user IP addresses and specifying whether the VPN is for individual or company use.
Tanzania has become the second East African country to implement regulations on VPN usage.
