Sure but you'd basically be scamming them as the VPN service wouldn't work because even if you sent them the VPN installer and login it wouldn't connect.

Why wouldn’t it connect?

Unless they block my specific IP address then? It will work. And if they block my ip address, then I can just get a new one pretty easily.

FTA: "The list of IP addresses and domain names to be blocked is drawn up by private bodies authorised by AGCOM"

Edit: You're correct, you could run a VPN on your own server and sell access, as this would only block known VPN services.
