How to bypass the Firewall? | Firewall in Pakistan | Social Media | Pakistan Breaking News

The government of Pakistan has completed the trial phase for installing a country-wide firewall to monitor and control social media.

Following successful results, the government is now moving forward with the purchase of the new firewall system, sources in the Ministry of Interior

During the trial, the firewall effectively blocked pictures, voice recordings, and video downloads on social media platforms. It reduced mobile internet service speeds and checked for mobile data leaks.

The Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) has informed all mobile companies to clear the installation process.

The government plans to install the firewall on all internet service providers, allowing for deep packet inspection to filter social media data and block content at the IP level. The federal government wants to control the dissemination of any kind of content, with costs shared between the government and ISPs.

Sources said PTA will oversee the firewall’s installation.

Previously, Pakistan acquired a web monitoring system from a Canadian firm in 2018, which remains in use and is currently being upgraded. The new firewall system is expected to function similarly to China’s, using Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) to detect and block sensitive content based on keywords.
