We often hear affiliates say “I would be happy to drive nutra traffic but I live in Europe — I’m afraid that I will just be fined there one day.”

If you are an affiliate and live in Italy — or another EU country — you are familiar with this fear. Working with traffic from Europe — especially in gray niches like nutra — has become difficult. Regulations, GDPR, banking controls, IP tracking and even the real threat of fines — all this is stressful.

But there is no need to be afraid. The problem is solvable — the main thing is to understand how exactly you can work from Europe so as not to break the laws and not attract the attention of rule regulators. Let us tell you how this is done using the example of Italy — a country with one of the strictest policies regarding online advertising, especially in the niche of dietary supplements.

Why is driving traffic from Italy risky?

Italy is in the top 5 countries in Europe in terms of the number of restrictions on advertising activities. If you get into nutra, especially in the niches of weight loss, virility, prostate and everything that is somehow connected with health – expect problems. Officially, such goods must go through the Ministry of Health, be officially registered, and you can only advertise them if you have a license. Without it, even a landing page with a promise to “lose 7 kg in a month” can become a reason for a complaint and subsequent analysis.

And now let’s not forget about:

–   strict GDPR, according to which you can get a fine of tens of thousands of euro for incorrect processing of user data (for example, an application from a landing page collected through a non-secured form);

–   suspicious activity recognition systems from Meta and Google, which take into account everything – IP, behavior, device type, location linking;

–   Italian banks, which easily block cards and accounts if they detect incomprehensible transactions – especially if this is a replenishment of the advertising account from a “questionable” website.

As a result, many affiliates have to either go into the shadows or change their GEO altogether, although this direction is profitable and promising.

How do others manage to work from here?

The solution is anonymity. If you don’t want regulatory authorities to be interested in you, just leave no traces. To do this, you’d need to:

First, remove the Italian IP

The first thing that bothers you is your IP address. Even if you drive traffic from Portugal or Chile, Facebook and Google see where you work from. Ideally, use mobile or residential proxies that disguise you as the desired country. Not only does this reduce risks, but also increases the trust of your accounts.

Working solutions include: Smartproxy, Airproxy, SOAX, NetNut. They are more expensive than regular VPNs, but they create the effect of a real user from the desired country, and not a “tourist with an anonymizer”.

Second, work using anti-detection browsers

Browsers like Chrome and Safari leave a huge number of fingerprints – from the system version to the video card model. If you create several accounts from one device, they will all pop up. Therefore, switch to anti-detection browsers: GoLogin, AdsPower, Dolphin Anty, Indigo. They allow you to create profiles with unique fingerprints, as if you were working from different real devices.

This is a must-have, especially if you use farmed accounts or switch between verticals.

Services that provide accounts and cards

If you live in Europe, do not use your personal accounts. Never. Even if you think “well, I’m just testing.” Anything that has ever been used under your name is a potential clue. Instead, take farmed accounts from reliable sellers – they are very easy to purchase these days – here are some popular ones:

Telegram bots like @accseller_bot, @fb_arbit_bot are popular with webmasters.

Platforms like AccsMarket, LoginHub – but make sure that the accounts you use are “warm”, active, not bare of content and user activity.

Specialized sellers linked to the desired country (for example, Facebook accounts with real Italian sessions).

And when it comes to bank cards – use the same logic. Do not use Italian banks, it is better to use services that allow you to create virtual cards to pay for any services and purchases. Among the proven and popular ones are Multicards, SpribePay, Privacy, Wise (for work with safe offers), Capitalist.

How to replenish cards and withdraw money

These days it is way easier to do this than it seems.

Replenish your advertising accounts via P2P (for example, Binance or LocalBitcoins), or via third-party services — Multicards, Advcash, Capitalist, Cryptomus.

Withdraw via cryptocurrency that is not linked to your real name. For example, USDT → Binance → card of another country.

Never withdraw to a personal account in an Italian bank if you do not have legal business coverage. Banks in Italy very actively cooperate with tax authorities.

It is not necessary to drive traffic from Italy, even if you live there

You live or are in Italy – this does not mean at all that you are obliged to drive traffic from here. Yes, Italian traffic is solvent, but the level of control is above average.

What do experienced affiliates do in such a situation? They simply switch GEOs within Europe — to those countries where the requirements for advertising are slightly softer, and moderation is more loyal.

Among such countries, we can highlight:

–   Portugal – many types of nutra products are still being passed through moderation, especially health-related offers;

–   Slovakia, Hungary – less competition, chill moderation, sane banks.

You can be in Italy, but physically and logically drive traffic, say, from Romania, buying separate accounts, proxies, creatives and landings for this exact purpose. This is still a European market, but with much lower risks.

And here’s how AI helps to drive traffic from Europe and not get caught for that

In 2025, AI is no longer just a trend – it is a full-fledged working tool in affiliate marketing. It can help:

🔹 Create neutral, compliant creatives

AI can generate texts and images that pass moderation. For example, you set the parameters – “offer for women of 45+ y.o., weight loss, but without medical statements” – and get creatives that do not trigger a ban.

🔹 Generate landing pages adapted to the country

With GPT, you can quickly adapt the landing page to the desired GEO, even taking into account the local language and cultural characteristics – without unnecessary expenses on translators and layout designers.

🔹 Analyze risks

You can check the ad copy for compliance with the GDPR, Facebook Ads and Google Ads rules, minimizing the likelihood of rejection in advance. Here’s an example of a prompt, “Check if this text contains potentially prohibited statements on nutra advertising in the EU.”

🔹 Create non-detectable farming structures

AI can be used to generate instructions for farming accounts, distributing proxies, keeping logs – especially useful if you work in a team and need to systematize everything.

🔹 Automate tracking and finances

ChatGPT easily helps integrate trackers, calculate different ad campaign approaches, keep records of expenses and profitability, so that you don’t have to keep everything in your head.

And most importantly, AI does it quickly and unnoticed. This means you are less likely to get caught, make fewer mistakes, and launch faster.

To conclude

Affiliates who use these principles work for years, sleep soundly, and are not afraid of getting letters from tax authorities. This is not about how to cheat the system. This is about how to organize your work so that it is as safe, effective, and at the same time profitable as possible.
