## Smuggling Steam Games via VPN

The idea of deploying a VPN to **get better deals on Steam games** has been fascinating people for years. However, the topic is a subject to a number of controversies as well. You see, purchasing a game under a foreign IP isn’t that hard, but being able to actually play it is an entirely different question.

- Some games just require IP based location when being activated. It might be that the same with RoE that once you active/install the game you will not even need the VPN to continue playing the game, but we need to wait and see.

The system can easily be fooled by temporarily connecting to a Russian VPN server, but the chances are high **the system spots you when trying to activate it**. Steam’s terms of use strictly forbids using IP proxying or other methods to disguise your physical location. Not only that but each player account is linked to the country that you are a resident of, which means that you **cannot launch a game in the U.S. if it says ‘Russia only’**.

> But what about using a VPN while playing on Steam to maintain the facade? That cannot be said for sure. Many users are boasting that they have been using VPNs alongside Steam for years and have managed to avoid the banhammer. Others, however, protest that the system quickly catches on and your account will be put on ice when you least expect it. All we can say for sure is to avoid games that incorporate region-locked matchmaking – multiplayer shooters, for example – because they will increase the risk of getting busted.
