VPN use is not banned in South Africa.
Gaining unauthorized access to data through hacking and packet sniffing, intercepting or interfering with data, and committing computer-related extortion, fraud, and forgery are all criminal offenses under Chapter XIII of The Electronic Communications and Transactions Act No 25 of 2002.
It is also illegal to disseminate viruses and Trojan horses on purpose.
Even if a user uses a VPN to hide their illegal online activities, they are still breaking the law. The usage of a VPN is thus permissible as long as it is not used to conceal illegal actions.
VPNs are excellent for blocking third-party access to your web activities. While they are prohibited in some nations, they are not in South Africa.
When traveling, make sure to check to see if using a VPN is legal in the nation you’re visiting. Only when someone uses a VPN for unlawful purposes or in jurisdictions where it is prohibited is it illegal.
