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

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?
Change your DNS resolver to one of these https://www.privacyguides.org/en/dns/
Use a DNS out of your jurisdiction, preferably a privacy focused one, that issue will go away.
My brother in Christ do not spread disinformation x)
I can access it without even using any vpn, just changed dns a lot of time ago and I never get that piracywall
Secondo me stai leakando i dns, controlla di averli configurati bene
And you need to configure protonvpn correctly so it uses their DNS. In the VPN world this is known as a ‘DNS leak’.
Pretty sure its because of the piracy shield thingy. Secure Core might be an option as long as no Italian servers are used and you’re using the VPNs DNS
“[A]ll parties in any capacity involved in the accessibility of illegally disseminated content – and therefore also, by way of example and not limitation – VPN and open DNS service providers, will have to execute the blocks requested by the Authority [AGCOM],” the notice read.
