Several countries are already ahead of Brussels. In 2025, a Paris court ordered five major VPNs to block more than 200 illegal sports streaming sites, while Italy moved to extend its Piracy Shield system to VPN and DNS providers.
In Spain, a Córdoba court ordered NordVPN and Proton VPN to block IP addresses tied to illegal LaLiga streams in February.
The same court later refused to fine NordVPN for not complying. LaLiga has since asked the Commission to add NordVPN, Proton VPN, ExpressVPN, and Surfshark to its piracy watch list.



Money paid to Mullvad ends up as donations to a Nazi party.
Yes the co founder donated to a swedish far right party, so what are the alternatives to Proton and MullVad to stay in Switzerland’s jurisdiction?
Better Alternatives are:
NymVPN, IVPN and AirVPN
Mullvad is in swedish jurisdiktion (and supporting real fasch not just stupid messaging)? Worse than the EU.
