Do your research. Air doesn’t offer its services to Italians (the country it also happens to be incorporated in) in order to avoid enforcement of the nations anti soccer piracy laws.
This indicates that the company either cannot stand up to that enforcement action or that its host nation is so corrupt that being able to endure enforcement without giving up customer data would be no shield to the customer.
Air is one of the few VPNs that offers port forwarding, a feature commonly used in piracy.
I am a happy user of air for piracy purposes. I believe them to not be able to withstand investigation.
Air is fine for my purposes. Be careful what purposes you use it for.
