If we’re speaking of the technology, depends on implementation. “VPN” is a fairly broad term.

In an order issued on April 24, Additional District Magistrate of Rajouri Rajeev Kumar Khajuria ordered immediate suspension of VPN services in the district as a preventive measure to protect all information related to the ongoing Lok Sabha elections and other sensitive data from cyber attacks.

Completely unrelated. VPNs, while imperfect, are effective and accessible tools for circumventing surveillance. That’s why governments don’t like them.
