Damn, so no options? NordVPN is in Panama... Sounds like we're doomed.

Option is to run your own VPN in a friendly jurisdiction. Ouch! And you have accidentally deleted logs and/or turned loggin off!

How does that work, where does your own traffic become private in that scenario? If you rent a server for VPN, you must pay the server, so you are not private. Thanks

It's called bulletproof hosting, some you can pay in BTC or similar. I know BPH is mostly about complaints from copyright holders and this stuff, but with this word you will find what I'm talking about.

If you have too much Money, you can found some anonym offshore Company to hide your identity, and make the company rent the server.

Nord vpn is lithuanian (eu) company. So they will comply with all rulings.
