Can I use a VPN while playing CS:GO?
So I have a VPN enabled because recently I am having DDos issues. Is it allowed to be on while I play CS:GO? I am wondering because I don't want some sort of ban for something I don't know of.

Thanks!

I don't know if my router has a dynamic IP. But yeah some people I know have gotten into that kind of stuff and I think my ip was leaked. But thanks fdor the help man.

You use VPN for whatever you want, except activating region locked games. Steam takes that quite seriously.

No.

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.

Avics, take a look at this to see if your IP is dynamic (it probably is, most are these days).
If it is, then simply turn off your router for about ten minutes. - Job done, you`ll have a new IP address, and won`t be using a proxy or vpn.

Use this tool, before and after to check its worked.
