Selamun Aleykum,

it is allowed in my country to use a VPN service. It is also not illegal to use a VPN service to purchase cheaper subscriptions in different countries like YouTube Premium. YouTube Premium costs 12€/month in Germany while it costs 1,5€/month in Turkey. Would this be still halal?

Wa alaykum salaam,

Using a VPN to purchase something by misrepresenting where you are has deception in it, and is unethical. One should avoid doing such an action.

Allah knows best
