Good afternoon,if i use VPN in Europe and i will don't change country and don't buy anything,can steam block me?

You can use a VPN, just don't use it to buy stuff at a cheaper price compared to your region, evade taxes or region restrictions on the product and you'll likely be fine.

Edit and note:
https://store.steampowered.com/subscriber_agreement/ says:

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.

but uh... idk. Some people are on a network (for business) and accidentally vpn to Steam sometimes basically. Let alone Steam Link might also basically count as a method of IP proxying. So it... is a gray area.

and if i would be logged out steam can't block me for using VPN right?

Nvidia Geforce Now is a cloud service where you can install Steam on to run it on their computers and Stream it to your PC.
Essentially this too "hides your location"
so is against the SSA. but oddly enough Steam supports it. The heckness.
idk.

If you are not logged in or using Steam in Offline Mode, you are most diffidently safe yes.

Ah, uh... I didn't know there was already a topic about this.. Hm...
aaaaa

If you read the SSA carefully though, you're not allowed to use a proxy to hide your "location of residence"
meaning, so long you don't use it to hide where you actually live ( or stay at that time for a while ) from Steam, it should be okay.

Edit: notice how this quote I copy pasted is below

"3. BILLING, PAYMENT AND OTHER SUBSCRIPTIONS ⏶
A. Payment Authorization"

so it's really just about payment and control of distribution.
If you use a VPN while you're on the discussion boards (for example) they likely don't care.

edit 2: That's how I understand it at least, good question. xd
