AirVPN isnt based on Italy? Watchout Italy is a place where Lawfull Interception is easy to implement. I understand the portfowarding thing, stick to ProtonVPN. You need a VPN where countries do the things right, I'm not saying Italy is not one of those. But Switzerland, seems like the best option to resolve any issue.
Maybe... You can use i2p.
BTW cryptostorm is a very old and very known for the paranoid owners. They are really tech savvy, you should give them a try. They do not have a nice, client for windows, and doesn't for Linux they use nm for connections. I think that's where you know they don't want to be more famous , like mullvad orprotono or the others.
Its up and running.
