VPN interest mysteriously surges in Spain

It is also mentioned that the rules could get superseded by EU law requiring identification as well. And with the US doing stupid stuff as well you might run out of VPN locations in the future

Yeah unfortunately it has crossed my mind. Good news is groups like Mullvad and Proton are pretty good about spreading their servers across the world under various jurisdictions so the whack a mole game should go on for quite some time, and I don’t think any country is going to make VPNs illegal anytime soon

They'll just make them illegal for anyone other than a corporation
