Yeah, pardon NY French but fuck you. I am self hosting my "VPN" that I paid for with sinpke crypto. I don't do drugs or cp or other vile stuff, I just don't want wiretap surveillance "just because" and I want to consume content and work in peace. Maybe rant online anonymously once a while. Let's see how much can they pressure a lowendbox provider who I paid $20/year if they could even tie my physical identity to somehow. Even then, I could nuke the vps and be done with it so what's this pathetic nonsense.
BTW, I use zetotier for my work. They don't and CANT keep "logs". Heck its not possible IMO so what's this assbackwards of dickwaving " I am big and hairy and smelly and I demand you comply to my orders". Fuck you.
Who are these "data centers, vps, cloud service providers" who have to comply? Only Indian ones? In mainland India? Indian companies with also foreign servers? Foreign companies with Indian subsidiary? Foreign company with Indian customers?
Pointless means of bureaucracy imposing their will, trying to mould internet according to their whims. Fuck you
Sounds like it. You provide VPN access to other people. Sounds an awful lot like "a provider".
> ... aka start selling access? ... Sue me?
No idea what the government is going to do but you will live to find out. I assume you do it as a business, right? Otherwise you have undisclosed income which can be all source of other trouble.
Kind of tangential but this raises the issue that if laws had metrics and criteria for success and utility then silly power grabs like this would tend to sunset even if they did pass reps, executive, and courts.

> Can a foreign VPN provider refuse to comply? How much jurisdiction do these clowns have?
Then you will definitely piss them and block you. It wouldn't be hard for them to block them, especially that they have already blocked a lot more sites (and has proven capabilities for DPI tampering).
