It’s no secret that the Indian Government has made it clear it wants to prevent its citizens from accessing, using or even owning Cryptocurrencies, with draconian penalties being touted in the upcoming Cryptocurrency bill.
Now it is being reported as considering blacklisting the IP addresses of crypto exchanges to prevent access by the Indian people. Although the source of this information was cited as an ‘unnamed source in the know’, it does seem to suggest that, despite many Indian’s belief that an outright ban will be imposed, that the government is serious about it’s plans.
Although the lawmakers in Delhi have attempted to block IP Addresses before, notably of adult sites and many Chinese applications, the public were able to still access these sites using VPN software which is freely available.
