    changing location not working anymore?

    Seems like steam is able to detect the use of VPNs. Tried to connect to argentina with GhostVPN but it didnt let me change the location.
    Someone knows a solution?

    I see this problem rising for more and more users. I am not entirely aware but it may have been patched, will keep an eye and when I know for sure, will let you guys know (in case nobody else)

    Something new I found out: When I try to create a new account while having a VPN steam gives a pop up message saying "turn off your VPN"
    I havent tried any other location but argentina. Maybe steam has a database blacklist of common VPN IP from argentina or something. Eventually using unknown VPNs solves this issue but I dont have the knowledge for that

    No steam blocked all countries and well known VPNs. I tried turkey, brazil, Russia and its all saying the same thing. I heard from people that you can do it on your phone using a no name VPN but I only tried with nord and it was saying the same error.

    You must go to Settings, Steamguard and Deauthorize all devices.

    That doesn't fix it for me. I try literally everything, never had this issue before. Loads of others are having the same issue it seems.

    The end Summer sale doesn't fixed anything as tested by xXGhostXx1230. A good way to check if your vpn is detectable is by creating a new account, if your get the message "turn your vpn or proxy off" you know that it is detectable. I've found a bypass today to avoid steams vpn detection.
