i use proton.. airvpn looks good but i still haven't tried it

this makes a lot more sense than anything else i've heard and especially why they keep accidentally praising trump and his fellow fascists.
The reason air won’t sell accounts to Italians is because Italy has a law against using technology to view or share pirate soccer broadcasts and air doesn’t want to or can’t prevent people from doing that (also they’re positioned in the marketplace perfectly for piracy and just about nothing else).
It’s not because they believe or follow the recommendation that a provider be outside the users country of residence. Which is advice that’s situational.
Just connect to a VPN and buy it anyway! I know a friend who did
