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?

Search "what is my ip" on your web search engine to see without and with a VPN connection, to see if you're really going through the VPN tunnel. Seems like you aren't.

Can confirm that the IP address/location appears to change, but the block and AGCOM interception remains.
