    Or not. “All VPN and open DNS services must also comply with blocking orders”. A VPN provider can’t legally sell their services in Italy unless they comply. The best part is: since the govt is blocking websites they can also block providers who doesn’t play according to their rules :)

      I’m not an Italian citizen and I don’t live there.

      Their laws do not apply to me. An Italian citizen or resident can go online and buy vpn service from me. There is not law im subjected to that says I can’t sell vpn services to Italians.

        This isn’t true. If you don’t comply with the other law regarding the website blocks then the Italian govt will politely ask you to. If your business happens to be on another EU member state they might even try to get your local authorities involved in the asking. Either way, if you don’t comply or they can’t reach you (cause you’re ouside the EU) they’ll proceed to block your website / domains in Italy and no more business for you.

        Sure but you’d basically be scamming them as the VPN service wouldn’t work because even if you sent them the VPN installer and login it wouldn’t connect.

          Why wouldn’t it connect?

          Unless they block my specific IP address then? It will work. And if they block my ip address, then I can just get a new one pretty easily.
