Stay within your country and nothing will go wrong.

I can see you trying to change it to another country, forget to turn it off and make a purchase. That can/will lead to bad things for your account.

Against TOS to use as VPN use at own risk

Edit: Everyone plays with russians

Play with friends.

You don't need to. Just focus on your own gameplay.

I use a vpn to play in other regions from time to time you'll be fine

you can, but steam tos says you can't

and afaik there's been no confirmed case of someone getting banned for the use of vpns

In CS:GO, no. In other games, yes.

I suggested what I did above because there is always a good chance (I've seen it happen) that a user will forget to turn it off and get an account lock for making purchases from another country.

You can use a vpn on steam with out any problem actually not even against the tos. If you use the vpn to go around locked things like if saying you are from a contry that valvet have block the cases opening and you use a vpn for that to go around that you might get banned for that but the risk are so little, btw if the rules with not having vpn are against the tos ban every pro player and streamers

It is...

Section 3-A...

You agree that you will not use IP proxying or other methods to disguise the place of your residence, whether to circumvent geographical restrictions on game content, to purchase at pricing not applicable to your geography, or for any other purpose. If you do this, Valve may terminate your access to your Account.

CS:GO is one of many games that doesn't have regional restrictions so, using a VPN is ok. BUT read my read my warning I posted 2x already.

Not only, no. Some multiplayer games do have strict rules about using a VPN to change regions regardless of it being banned in your country or not.



Seems like users aren't reading my full posts. Go back and read everything first.

what part of -> "or for any other purpose" <- did you miss reading that part of the steam tos. it helps to pay attention. it could save you money, anywhere.

As long as you don’t buy anything from the market while connected though a VPN you should be fine
