Need a VPN and some advise about them

FML1990 · 17 Jan 2015 at 11:30

I'm not really which area to post this, so I thought I'd post it here since its relevant to my purpose.

I want to buy games from G2A which state they are for the RU region, But for that I need a VPN.

Since I have no idea about them, and I know a fair few of you guys use them on here. Could you point me in the right direction with abit of advise please,

I use private internet access but doesn't seem to have a russian server.

Be warned, as far as I'm aware activating RU games via a VPN is risky. It technically breaks the ToS of Steam meaning they could ban your account.

Yeah I would not bother with VPN activated games if I were you. Don't think Steam has ever banned anyone but that does not mean they will never start.

I would go for the stress free worldwide keys and live without the risk of my game being removed. It will cost more but it's a lot less effort.

However if you insist on the Russian keys then VPNGate is the VPN I used to get around the late bf4 launch in the UK.

Just make a separate Steam account for your VPN/region locked/Russian games just incase they catch on and ban the account or remove the games.

A pain I know as it defeats the object of having one Steam account with all your games but if its money saving you're after then its best to safe guard your 'legit' Steam account.
