Just received an update from Safaricom agents, that they don't per se restrict VPN use on the network. I suppose the provision (pay-for-VPN-setup) still applies.That said, curious if other VPN users have had this experience?Regards,Nanjira.Sent on the move.So I’ve been testing use of my 3rd party VPN on Safaricom, and not been able to.Interestingly, this is what Safcom agents told me today: https://twitter.com/ninanjira/status/ 844115331421487104 Basically, that VPN use on Safcom is a provision that you pay for, and that is tailored for organizations.Additionally, this is apparently in the T&Cs; I’m awaiting more information on which specific clause addresses this.To me, this has interesting implications. That is, in the event of, say, a shutdown, one can’t bypass the block using their Safcom mobile data…If you are a VPN user, try it on your mobile data and let me know what happens. I can use VPN on other mobile data networks (e.g. Airtel).Listening.Regards,NanjiraIM: +254722481566, +1(857)498-8934(WhatsApp | Telegram | iMessage)PGP: 1DBE1F47A6878B0D
