As title. Italy is decided to pass a law that basically creates a chinese-type firewall in the country. The question is simple: even if I’m not doing anything illegal, my VPN provider will have to know what am I doing to report it in case it’s illegal, or face jail.

So how could my traffic remain private in this scenario?

Can a VPN provider with no logs policy be held accountable of anything? Can it actually know what I’m doing?

    You can read more about this learning about X.509.

    Its the PKI thats broken, namely the root stores. Has been unreliable for many, many years. This is why packages are signed.

      So you are basically saying that root CAs are unreliable or compromised?

      The great thing is, that you can decide on your own which CAs you trust. Also please proof that those are actively malicious.

      And no. That is not the reason that packages are signed, i am guessing you mean packages like on linux, packages contained in the installation repository. The reason is, that you build another chain of trust. Why would i trust a CA which issues certificates for domains with code distribution. That’s not their job.
