It really surprised me that they're based in Italy.
Between all the Western countries it's the stupidest one to base a VPN company. The management risks prison time for little gain, why not Cyprus or the Caribbean like anyone else? Open a shell company in the Bahamas and still operate from Perugia if they really like to live in the Italian countryside
Italy is a country controlled by copyright trolls, for an Italian citizen using them as a piracy VPN is an insane idea, why not just be unprotected at that point?
It's almost like choosing China or Russia as base
Yeah when I was looking for a replacement of Mullvad VPN AirVPN came to my radar but I didn't choose it because it was based on Italy which I was confused.
