The legality of VPNs (Virtual Private Networks) in Angola is a neutral issue, with no specific laws or regulations governing their use. According to the Angolan Ministry of Telecommunications and Information Technologies, the country's internet infrastructure is still developing, and the government has been working to improve internet access and security {1}. This has led to a growing demand for VPN services among users.
The Angolan government has taken steps to improve internet access and security, including the establishment of a national cybersecurity agency and the implementation of a digital signature system. However, the use of VPNs is not explicitly mentioned in these regulations. This has led to concerns among users about online security and censorship.
"The use of VPNs is not prohibited in Angola, but it is also not regulated. Users are free to choose whether or not to use a VPN, but they should be aware that some VPN services may not be compatible with the country's internet infrastructure." - Angolan Ministry of Telecommunications and Information Technologies {1}
As the situation in Angola continues to evolve, it is essential for users to stay informed about the latest developments and to exercise caution when using VPNs. While VPNs can provide users with a sense of security and anonymity, they can also be used to circumvent laws and regulations.
