Internet services outtage across Pakistan

The Internet service in Pakistan was disrupted throughout the country on Wednesday, July 31, 2024, with a complete suspension of Internet access.

The underlying cause of the outage is unknown, although it affected large cities and towns, the banking industry, and the stock market.

According to our sources, the government’s latest firewall edition to block the content was misconfigured, resulting in Internet connectivity disruption.

However, social media platforms such as Facebook, Whatsapp, and Instagram functioned normally.

It is worth noting that X is already outlawed in Pakistan. This current Internet outage has caused widespread concern among civilians that the government will shut down the internet completely at any time, as happened recently in Bangladesh following protests.

The Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) could not connect during the outage.
