actually i have a really fast internet but it has packet loss issues tried using vpn on other games and it fixed my lag

Ezhidevpn isnt recommended from my Side
Steam detect the programm and as Long as its on ur Computer you wont be able to Connect to Steam without using a different vpn as urs.
Changing the vpn will cause the Game to quit and make Steam unusable

You can receive a permanent ban from Steam if you buy anything on Steam with a VPN, Remember to turn the VPN off when not playing Dota 2, and to not purchase items on the in-game store.
