By banning and blocking all VPN providers not based in Italy.

Sounds like a possible violation of EU rights. Similar practices have cost other governments dearly in the past.

So by going harder on blocking content that China? Because that’s what they do but most of the big providers get through after a day or two of downtime each time the government make a change to block them.

I am experiencing such banning of providers right now. It is a whack-a-mole, seems futile. Not to mention that most people use sketchy free noname VPNs that are just too numerous. Or apparently some people set up basic XRay/VLESS/whatever and sell it via a Telegram bot…

I bet there comes the day that I need to share access to my server to allow people from other countries accessing the real free web through me…

You can ban big hosting providers, but even here they’re cautious with measures like that because it would break WAY too much. Not to mention that you could just use a lesser-known one, even if it doesn’t operate in the country legally.
