Yes. Slovenian law does not restrict VPNs, and employers, universities and public institutions use them for remote access every day. In December 2012 the National Assembly also wrote net neutrality into its Electronic Communications Act, and EU-wide rules have applied since 2016. Personal data falls under the GDPR, supervised in Slovenia by the Information Commissioner.

Not every service is open, though. Online games of chance need a Slovenian concession, and authorities can ask a court to order IP blocks against unlicensed gambling sites. Some people reach such sites through a VPN or proxy, but a site that is illegal in Slovenia stays illegal whatever the route, so caution is wise.

A VPN encrypts the connection and replaces your IP address with one from the location you pick. Our blog explains what a VPN is and how it works.
