Can they do that inside the EU though? Wouldn’t that violate the free travel of trade ? I don’t think they can. Italians are free to use Swedish VPNs, which legally have no logs they can give to Italian police anyway, among which there’s Mullvad. Italy can’t stop italians from buying swedish things. Unless it’s alcohol or tobacco, those things usually have exceptions.
But also, Mullvad accepts cryptocurrencies too. So it’s not like they have to use banks. They even take mailed in cash.
Well, Italy can stop their banks from sending money to the VPN company.

They could just block the vpn from the country. I believed that’s the measure they would have take to make them comply
Yeah, sadly they can, otherwise I could buy legal weed in the NL and smoke it legally in Hungary.
