Using VPNs to access Steam is a breach of the SSA, and can result in your account being permanently banned.

You would need to speak with your University's IT Department about unblocking Steam.

The ban in question would be a Steam account ban; it has nothing to do with VAC. Using a VPN to access Steam is against the SSA (Steam Subscriber Agreement), which you agreed to when creating your account.

TL;DR - Don't do it.

This would also be grounds for your university to ban you from being able to use internet services at your university, which I'm sure their network user agreement states.

Dude, I wouldn't risk losing your games just to play online at your Uni. Do you live on campus? If so, residential buildings usually have less restrictions than other campus services. I'd find it quite peculiar to hear that Steam was blocked there as well.

Idk I might buy myself internet but idk xD 35$ per month is quite expensive for me to just play some online games.

Use offline mode.
Or a paid VPN(VPN are fine in Steam aslong you don't use to buy games, aka bypass others countries prices)
