The full story behind the CapCut ban in India
In June 2020, the Indian government issued an order banning 59 mobile applications, citing Section 69A of the Information Technology Act. CapCut - then known as Viamaker and later rebranded - was on that list alongside TikTok, UC Browser, and dozens of other apps developed by Chinese companies. The official reasoning centred on data privacy: investigators found that these apps were alleged to be engaged in activities prejudicial to the sovereignty and integrity of India, defence, and public order. ByteDance, CapCut's parent company, disputed the findings, but the ban was upheld and eventually made permanent in 2026 after a government review process concluded.
The incident highlighted something many users overlook: the apps installed on your phone can collect significant amounts of personal data, from device identifiers to usage patterns and location signals. Whether or not you ever used CapCut, the broader lesson is that controlling how your data travels online matters. A properly configured encrypted connection means your browsing habits, the services you use, and your device information are shielded from third-party collection - which is exactly what a VLESS-based VPN like HiVPN is built to provide.

Who actually benefits from encrypted connections after the CapCut story
The CapCut ban brought data privacy into mainstream conversation in India for the first time for many people. Content creators who lost access to their favourite editing tool suddenly had to think about which apps handle their data responsibly. Freelancers and small business owners who rely on global creative tools realised how quickly a government decision can affect their workflow. For all of these users, adding a layer of encryption to their everyday browsing is a practical response - not a reaction to any specific ban, but a long-term habit that keeps personal information out of reach of unwanted collection.
Students researching global topics, remote workers connecting to company servers, and travellers who want consistent security on public Wi-Fi also find value in a reliable encrypted connection. The common thread is the same: you want your data to remain yours. VLESS is a modern protocol designed to maintain a stable, efficient connection while keeping traffic encrypted - which is why HiVPN uses it as its foundation rather than older, slower alternatives.

Privacy
No logs
What we know about you: almost nothing
There is no account here. You never give us an email, a phone number or a name, so there is no profile to leak, sell or hand over. We know that a key exists and when it expires. We do not know what you open with it. Our servers are outside India, which puts us out of scope of the CERT-In directive requiring providers to store user records for five years. Providers who kept servers inside the country had to choose between complying and leaving, and most of them left. We are telling you where we stand instead of implying we are beyond every jurisdiction, which no one is.
- No registration, no email, no phone number
- No browsing history and no connection logs
- Servers outside India, so CERT-In retention does not apply
- Payment by UPI or crypto, no card details stored
- Nothing renews automatically and nothing is charged silently
FAQ
Straight answers
Yes. The ban issued in 2020 was made permanent following a government review, and as of 2026 CapCut remains unavailable through official Indian app stores. The situation has not changed since the original order under the Information Technology Act.
