Use a VPN to switch your Steam region.
Use a VPN to switch your Steam region.
I'm based in the UK but am currently in Spain. I got hacked a few weeks ago and my location is stuck there now. Support told me I need to log in from the UK first. I was considering using a VPN to switch my region back to the UK temporarily. Since I can't make purchases with a UK address, what should I do?
Using tools to alter your Steam location violates the terms of service, and I wouldn't want your account locked permanently.
It makes sense now... I’m always using the VPN and it works perfectly. Probably just for buying things.
I think it's only for purchases if you try to get a lower price by changing the region. I logged to steam from various VPN servers/countries lots of times and no problems at all, but always turn it off before buying anything. Here's a discussion on the same issue.
