Prevent your Steam Region from being reverted
guide by FIREEZE
Currently Valve is doing it's best to prohibit Steam-Users from accessing cheap Games trough region
switching. As we know, you can not use foreign gift cards for the regions with cheaper games, also Valve
stopped making Gift-Cards for these countries. Their most recent step was reverting Steam-User's regions
on checkout, even when using a VPN. Because most VPNs get detected as such (you can double check on
ipinfo.io) you can't use them without being reverted as well. The best way right now to purchase games
almost safely is by using a residential VPN or Proxy. The best option for all users is MysteriumVPN Dark for
PC (https://mysteriumvpn.com/). The Dark version of this VPN provides a huge variety of residential servers
and also you do not have to pay monthly for it, you buy balance from 2.50$ with card, PayPal or Crypto and
connect to any residential (highlighted with a "R"). Connect to such server and double check you VPN and
Hosting Status, which you see if you scroll down in the small blue Infobox. Both (VPN and Hosting) of these
as well as all the other things must be false. Then you can safely buy steam games. To be even safer I would
close the steam client on all the other computers as well, before connecting to a residential server, also
close the steam app and most importantly never buy Games in the steam app. Before reopening the steam
client or website make sure that you a connected to the right VPN as mentioned above. Then you can safely
purchase games. In simple terms: Close the Steam Application everywhere also the websites, connect to a
residential server and make sure that VPN status and hosting as well are false, reopen the steam website or
the client again, purchase the games of your choice and enjoy.
If you ask yourself, how you can topup your steam wallet, there's one way. Purchase cheap TF2 keys, for
example from DMARKET or any trusted seller. They do not have a trade lock, so you can instantly resell
them on the market for balance. Currently you do not need a VPN for selling things on the Steam Market
(this could always change). If you have enough balance for the games of your choice, follow the steps
above.
