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).
