Piracy shield in Italy - unavoidable even with a VPN? (ttrpg.network)

Well, color me surprised when, with my Proton VPN enabled, I still faced a government-mandated MITM attack while attempting to visit 1337x.to

"AVVISO

To be completely honest, I wasn’t aware this was possible when using a VPN. I’ve tried swapping to multiple servers within Proton, but all seem to be returning the same. Is there some commonly known workaround?

I bet this is ops issue. Either the vpn auto selected the fastest server (probably in Italy) of op defaulted to a local server. Op should change server to a country with more lax rules (Netherlands?).

Nope. Swapped to every other server ProtonVPN has. I'm thinking it might be a DNS configuration issue though, because yeah, I don't understand why a different server wouldn't end run around this.
