Recently got a VPN because I’ve become increasingly paranoid (It’s getting crazy out there), but… is it a bannable offense to use it while on Steam?

I’m finding mixed answers, and I wanna be safe, so I figured the Fediverse might know.

    Cool, so the only thing I’d need to worry about is if I actually went into my Steam settings to change the region, not so much the VPN?

      Yup, as long as all your Steam Store and payment method settings match the country you’re buying from, you should be good. My roommate games on Steam from a VPN all the time and has had no issues in the several years that he’s done that (though I don’t believe he’s using the VPN to change his location, just to hide his IP).
