Can I get banned for using VPN while playing?

[ZeroSonic]

I only want to use vpn to play MH:rise in other region since mine has no one to play with

[Manectricz]

its against the TOS i guess

[Brian9824]

It depends on how you use the VPN, the game, and their individual rules. Best bet is to ask in the forum of the game in question.

[BAD *Man]

you should be fine since you only change the location connection
all game data are not touched

but the ping will maybe get u banned or kicked from the servers due to high latency

[my new friend]

Capcom doesn't care in MH:R.

most multiplayer games arent going to allow use of vpns, to many cheaters use them to try bypassing game/vac bans.

that being said, there is zero reason to use a vpn.

side note, you have a low level account (tho owned for 6 years...), with barely any games and 1 friend.... cheater accounts or stolen accounts that are sold for cheap tend to look exactly like that....

Trying to identify accounts based on how they look is a fools errand. You're throwing spaghetti at the wall and using the fact that some sticks to validate your confirmation biases, while you ignore all the spaghetti on the floor.

1. It's not a crime to have a small library
   
2. Or few friends
   
3. Or a low level account.
   
4. Or a private account *wink wink, nudge nudge*
   
5. Or an alt account

Cast suspicions all you want, at some point it's just embarrassing though.

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.

If you think Valve cannot tell whose account is whose...you're mistaken.

except the fact that in almost every multiplayer game, people complaining in those forums about being game banned for cheating are majority low level accounts, with little to no games and barely any friends list, they also go as far as boosting game hours and many other things to try and look legit.

some are newly created accounts or new accounts that havent been setup, while most are stolen accounts being sold for cheap, to either be used for cheating, test cheats and/or spam phishing links to steal more accounts.

im not embarrassing myself when stating the truth, also i made no mention of private/friends only accounts...

[C²C^Guyver |NZB|]

As far as cheating, ANY account is capable of it. Account age, level, friends, games or anything else....is irrelevant.

....and that forum is full of threads just like that one.

true, but that doesnt change the fact that, what i mentioned is 99% always the case, in some games you can even track their accounts through specific sites and see how many alt accounts they have and how many have game/vac bans.

rust being one example.

What you're saying is BS. Why?..because I could cheat on my account if I wanted to. Will I? No.

All it takes to cheat is to be human.

what im saying isnt BS and you stating common sense isnt changing the facts.

dont think its true? use google, watch some rust cheater catching vids, ect... you can easily track a player/steam profile, find all his/her accounts and how many times they have been game banned.... its all very simple.

and again, low level accounts, barely any games and barely any friends, is 99% what you will see in the rust forums of people complaining about being game banned, facts are facts, sorry.

fyi, look at the rust general forum and mainly the "exploits" subforum where all the "i got banned", "banned for no reason", "i was hacked and game banned" threads end up, all i mentioned is exactly what you will see.

[Watermelon {JESUS IS LORD}]

not when playing , no , but if try to purchase under vpn then yes

No one should use Rust as a general example of anything - that game and its community pages are a dumpster fire.
