Thousands of Kenyans rely on virtual private networks (VPNs) to access international websites and remote work opportunities. A recent government crackdown on VPNs has raised concerns among digital workers. The restrictions aim to control online content and reduce illegal data flows. Many Kenyans use VPNs to bypass local internet filters and access global freelance platforms. Digital marketers and software developers are among those affected. The policy change comes amid broader efforts to regulate online activities. Officials argue the move strengthens national cybersecurity. Critics warn it may hinder economic growth. The impact on remote workers remains unclear.
