Indian ISP won’t let its users use strong encryption

So wrap your good encryption in another layer of 40bit encryption. If they call you on it you can prove conclusively that 40bit encryption doesn't work.

You broadband is one of the best ISPs in India. Probably after ACT. One of the first companies to invest in fiber optic cable and changed the internet landscape in India.<p>This screen shot came up in r&#x2F;india a few days ago. They aren&#x27;t really enforcing any such caps on encryption. It&#x27;s a case of an outdated TOS, which was more likely a copy-paste job, where neither the copywriter nor the one who approved it, had no idea of what they are talking about.

Used You Broadband a few years ago. Awesome service. Had no problems whatsoever with the level of encryption of anything. This is most probably an outdated law requiring them to have this clause. I am pretty sure banking rules and regulations require a much stronger encryption. So the law is at odds with itself :&#x2F;

Can&#x27;t really complain at an ISP who requires (but doesn&#x27;t technically enforce) their customers to meet the local law...

So you can not access any site that uses TLS?
