Frequently Asked Questions

Is there a legal difference between VPN and proxy?

Both VPN and proxy services are subject to the same legal regulations in Turkey. For both types of services, there is an obligation to keep logs under Law No. 5651. Therefore, access to prohibited content is illegal with both methods.

Can I access prohibited sites if I use a foreign proxy?

No. LivaProxy currently only provides services in Turkey locations. Even if foreign location options are offered in the future, the same legal obligations will apply to services purchased from Turkey.

How do you detect my access to prohibited sites?

Access to prohibited content is detected through our automatic security systems, known illegal site databases, and regular traffic analyses. Additionally, manual checks are performed periodically.

I'm using proxy for legal purposes, am I still being tracked?

Yes, all traffic is recorded due to legal obligations. However, for customers who use legally, these records are for storage purposes only and are not reviewed unless there is a request from the authorized bodies.
