CS:GO with HotSpot Shield

I have one question.
Can I play CS:GO using Hotspot Shield ... in my Company?
I have two account ... and first account was VAC banned ... i dont know the reason but this isnt important right now.

Please I must be sure that can I play CS:GO using Hotspot shield.
I dont want to get ban on my second account.

PS. Sorry for my bad English... :)

Short, there's no way tho game can be fun using a VPN. The latency will drive you nuts.

With HotSpot Shield latecy is fine ... max 120 ping. But in my company I have some restrictions in our network ... that`s why im using a VPN.
But I have only one question ... VAC will ban account for using VPN?
My first account is banned ... and I dont use any cheats or even macros.

You wont get a VAC ban. Just make sure that the VPN doesn't change your apparent country.

Im from Poland ... HotSpot Shield change country to UK ... that is a problem for VAC?
And @Iskoldibjem ... thanks for reply ... that was very useful :D

Not for VAC. Bit faking your location is against the SSA ba might get tour account locked.

Maybe that`s why i got VAC ban at my first account ... now I understaind.
Well ... I must work at work ... not playing ... this is sad but true :D

Read what I've said. You wont get a VAC ban for using a VPN.

Doctorek Mar 19, 2015 @ 3:22am

Ok i understaind that VAC blocked only account with cheats. But this is not a answer for that why they banned my first account.
I'm carefull with using HotSpot Shield on new account and thats all.

Read & understand the pinned thread. This will tell you about this whole "Tell you why you were banned"-stuff.

They will not tell you specifically what program or cheat you were using that VAC detected.

They will only confirm (and you got a VAC ban because) VAC did detect an active cheat or program that was modifying core game files, like dll's and exe's while logged onto a VAC secured server.

vpns are more then surely wont give you a ban, not a VAC one that is

I know that cheats can modify dll`s and execs files ... but this isnt answer to "why VAC banned me". I never use any cheats. There is two process at my company PC ... Hotspot shield and AutoHotKey to automatic some process in my work. Thats it.
Maybe I get a ban for AHK, HotSpot Shield or ... many headshoots i CS:GO ... but that last is impossible :D

I'm not familiar with Hotspot Sheild so I can't tell you for that one... but I would suspect the aimbot might capture you a flag. :)

Anything that modifies core files will trigger VAC - and they will never tell you specifically what the ban was for or even when specifically it was triggered.
