Get an Italian IP address, stream RaiPlay and Mediaset Infinity from abroad, avoid Piracy Shield overblocking, or protect your browsing on any network.
Italian streaming, banking, and government services all break when you leave the country. Inside Italy, it gets worse. Italy's Piracy Shield system has blocked over 65,000 domains since February 2024, and accidentally took down Google Drive in October of that year.
A VPN replaces your real IP with an Italian one, encrypts your connection, and routes around overblocking when legitimate sites get caught in the sweep.
RaiPlay (Rai 1, Rai 2, Rai 3), Mediaset Infinity (Canale 5, Italia 1, Rete 4), and DAZN Italy all check your IP before granting access. Italians living abroad lose access the moment their IP changes. An Italian VPN bypasses those geo-blocks instantly.
Banking, shopping, and government portals all work better when websites think you're in Italy. No more "questo contenuto non è disponibile" errors.
Your connection is encrypted the moment you connect to public Wi-Fi at a café, airport, co-working space, or hotel.
Piracy Shield requires ISPs and DNS providers to block domains within 30 minutes of a request from rights holders. Legitimate sites get swept up regularly. A VPN with a non-Italian DNS resolver bypasses these blocks when they hit sites you actually need.
RaiPlay geo-restricts its full library to Italian IP addresses while Netflix Italy carries exclusive Italian-language originals, film collections, and dubbed content not available in other Netflix regions. Connect to an Italy VPN server and the full catalogue comes back, including Serie A on DAZN Italy and Champions League coverage.
Coffee shops, hotel lobbies, train stations (Roma Termini, Milano Centrale), airports. These networks are easy targets. A VPN encrypts your traffic so nobody on the same network can intercept your data.
Italy's data retention law (Article 132 of the Privacy Code, as amended) requires telecoms operators to retain your internet metadata for 12 months, phone metadata for 24 months, and unanswered call data for 30 days.
DAZN Italy holds exclusive Serie A streaming rights and actively blocks VPN connections. If you need Italian DAZN specifically, VPN Super refreshes Italian server IPs to stay ahead of detection.
With Piracy Shield overblocking legitimate sites, 72-month data retention on the books, and millions of Italians living abroad who want RaiPlay and Mediaset back, VPN demand in Italy is climbing. Getting started takes under a minute.

The Milan server delivers low latency for Italian streaming platforms like RaiPlay, Mediaset Infinity, and DAZN Italy. For users connecting from Germany, the UK, or other European countries (where large Italian communities live), Milan typically offers 20 to 40ms ping, which is excellent for HD streaming and browsing.
Leaving Italy usually means losing access to the platforms you watch every day. RaiPlay blocks non-Italian IPs with a geo-restriction notice. Mediaset Infinity does the same. DAZN Italy restricts Serie A streams to Italian connections.
Connect to VPN Super's Italy server and those platforms see an Italian IP instead
Stream RaiPlay, Mediaset Infinity, and DAZN Italy in full HD. Watch Serie A, Sanremo reruns, and Italian news without lag. VPN Super's Milan server handles peak-hour traffic smoothly, including Serie A kickoff times when DAZN demand spikes.
Italian streaming platforms check for VPN connections. VPN Super refreshes Italian server IPs regularly so you stay connected when other providers get blocked
Open VPN Super, pick the Milan server, and tap Connect. RaiPlay, Mediaset Infinity, DAZN Italy, and Netflix Italy all load like you're watching from your apartment in Milano.
Performance note: Premium servers are optimised for streaming in HD without buffering.
Most free VPNs either sell browsing data or lack Italian servers entirely. VPN Super’s Premium unlocks faster speeds, more server locations, and multi-device coverage across TIM, Vodafone, WindTre, Fastweb, Iliad, or any other Italian provider.

VPN Super encrypts your connection with AES-256, the same standard used by banks and governments. Your real IP is hidden, your data is encrypted, and your browsing stays between you and your screen.
Italy enforces the GDPR and its national Privacy Code. The Garante is independent and active, fining OpenAI €15 million in December 2024 over ChatGPT's data practices.
But Italian data retention goes further than most EU countries. ISPs must store your internet metadata for 12 months. A 2017 amendment extended that to 72 months for serious crime investigations. Six years of connection records, on file by law.
A VPN encrypts your connection, adding privacy that Italian law alone does not guarantee.
Watch Italian TV abroad Stream RaiPlay, Mediaset Infinity, DAZN Italy, and Netflix Italy from any country. Serie A, Sanremo, Italian news, and dubbed film libraries come with you
When legitimate sites get blocked by Italy's automated Piracy Shield system (as happened with Google Drive in October 2024), connecting to a non-Italian server routes around it.
Hide your IP and encrypt your traffic. Your ISP, advertisers, and anyone on the same Wi-Fi can't see what you're doing.
Fiumicino, Malpensa, Roma Termini, Milano Centrale, cafés, hotel lobbies. Connect to VPN Super before you do anything else.
Banking apps (Intesa Sanpaolo, UniCredit, BancoPosta, Banco BPM), Agenzia delle Entrate, INPS, SPID authentication, and PagoPA all work better with an Italian IP. Some actively flag or block foreign connections. One tap brings them back.
VPN Super works across all major platforms. Download the App, connect to a Italian server, and you're protected.
VPN Super is one of the most downloaded VPN apps in the world, with over 100 million installs across iOS and Android. That’s not a marketing number. That’s people choosing to connect, day after day.
The connection is fast, stable, and secure, and I never have trouble streaming or browsing. It’s super easy to use, with quick server connections and a simple interface. I really appreciate that it keeps my privacy protected without costing anything. Definitely one of the best VPNs I’ve ever tried — highly recommend!
Initially skeptical after using other apps like Orbot, Tor browser, Surfshark and others. This VPN is seemingly very stable with servers available for other countries and fast continual connectivity.
I’ve found this VPN to be really reliable and easy to use. The connection speed is fast, even when streaming or browsing on different servers, and switching locations only takes a few seconds. I also like the extra privacy and security it gives me when using public Wi-Fi. The app is simple to set up, and it runs smoothly in the background without slowing my device down. Overall, it’s a great option if you want both protection and convenience online.
Ready to get a VPN for Italy? Here's what to look for.
DAZN Italy uses some of the most aggressive VPN detection in Europe, working directly with Lega Serie A to block VPN IPs. VPN Super runs servers in Milan and refreshes IPs regularly so you stay connected when other providers get flagged.
VPN Super offers a Free VPN with no strings attached, plus Premium Subscriptions in 1-month, 6-month, and 12-month tiers. No hidden charges, no auto-renewal traps.
Piracy Shield has blocked 65,000 domains and accidentally taken out Google Drive. Data retention reaches 72 months for serious investigations. VPN Super delivers a no-activity-logs policy, AES-256 encryption, and trusted protocols (OpenVPN, IKEv2, WireGuard).
Yes. Using a VPN in Italy is completely legal. Italy operates under the GDPR and its national Privacy Code, both of which recognise the right to privacy. However, Italy's 2024 Piracy Shield amendments expanded the law to require DNS providers and VPNs to block specific domains. This affects VPN providers operating within Italian jurisdiction, not individual users. Using a VPN for privacy, streaming, or accessing legitimate content remains legal. Any activity illegal without a VPN remains illegal with one.
Open VPN Super, tap the globe icon, scroll to Italy, and tap Connect. Wait for the green shield. Websites and streaming platforms will treat you as if you're browsing from Milan. It takes about five seconds.
Many free VPNs lack Italian servers or get blocked quickly by platforms like DAZN Italy. Reddit users looking for a free Italy VPN consistently note that most free options have small server networks that streaming platforms detect within minutes. VPN Super's Free VPN includes Italy server access, AES-256 encryption, and unlimited bandwidth with no credit card required.
RaiPlay (covering Rai 1, Rai 2, Rai 3, and on-demand content) restricts access to Italian IP addresses. Open VPN Super, connect to the Milan server, then visit raiplay.it or open the RaiPlay app. Registration is free. If the geo-block persists, clear your browser cookies. RaiPlay stores location data that can conflict with your new Italian IP. RaiPlay is one of the few major European public broadcasters that is completely free, so you don't need a paid subscription.
DAZN Italy holds exclusive Serie A rights and actively blocks VPN connections, working with Lega Serie A to detect and flag VPN IPs. Open VPN Super, connect to the Milan server, then open the DAZN app or visit dazn.com. Sign in with your Italian DAZN account. If you hit a proxy error, switch servers to get a fresh IP. VPN Super refreshes Italian server IPs regularly to stay ahead of DAZN's blocklist. Note that Paramount+ holds Serie A rights in some other countries, so check your local broadcaster first.
Piracy Shield is Italy's automated anti-piracy system, launched in February 2024 and operated by AGCOM. It requires ISPs to block domain names and IP addresses flagged by copyright holders within 30 minutes. Since launch, it has blocked over 65,000 domains and 14,000 IP addresses. The system has caused multiple overblocking incidents, including accidentally blocking Google Drive in October 2024. A 2024 amendment expanded the law to cover DNS providers and VPNs, and AGCOM fined Cloudflare €14.2 million in early 2026 for refusing to comply. If a legitimate site you need gets blocked, connecting to a non-Italian VPN server routes your traffic around the block.
Italy's data retention is governed by Article 132 of the Privacy Code (D.Lgs. 196/2003). ISPs must retain internet traffic metadata for 12 months, phone traffic metadata for 24 months, and unanswered call data for 30 days. A 2017 amendment (Article 24 of D.L. 7/2015, converted into Law 43/2015) extended all retention periods to 72 months (six years) for terrorism and serious crime investigations. This is one of the longest mandatory retention periods in the EU. A VPN encrypts your connection so your ISP sees encrypted traffic to a VPN server, not the individual websites you visit.
Mediaset Infinity (formerly Mediaset Premium) geo-restricts its content to Italian IPs. Open VPN Super, connect to the Milan server, then visit mediasetinfinity.mediaset.it or open the app. Much of Mediaset's content is free with ads. If you want premium content, you'll need a Mediaset Infinity+ subscription. Clear your cookies if the geo-block persists after connecting.
Netflix Italy has a library that differs from other regions. It carries exclusive Italian originals, Italian film collections, and content dubbed or subtitled in Italian that may not be available elsewhere. Connect to VPN Super's Milan server, open Netflix, and the Italian catalogue loads. If it doesn't switch, clear your cache and cookies. On mobile, disable location services for the Netflix app.
We're confident you'll love the speed, security, and freedom VPN Super gives you. But if you're not completely satisfied, no worries—just reach out within 30 days and we'll give you a full refund. No hassle. No questions asked. Total peace of mind.
