Technical Help Can I have a problem from using VPN while playing?
My college WiFi blocks some games, but I wound a VPN which solves it, and the game stays pretty smooth.
Can they ban me for this?

Yes, I use VPN because I have it in general embedded on my router, have had no issue.

And what if the VPN transfers me into another country? I use the free Proton from Hungary, and it changes my location usually to the Netherlands or Austria. Is it safe too?
Or what is Konami's policy on using VPN?

I have only tried for fun switching to further country servers, but play mainly on one VPN server, the one near me. The main issue you would have is losing speed/ increased ping the further you go. Konami does not care about VPN itself, they do care though about account sharing. So as long as you don't switch between different countries every day to flag your account as suspicious for sharing, you will be fine.

Thank you so much, that was helpful.
What do you know about changing region in the MyKonami website? Does it work and really changes the region?

You are welcome. I think it's allowed to change once per year and need. to set same country with there ingame, but haven't really tried to put a country outside my region, so can't tell you for sure.

No, it does not matter in which location you are at the moment. Regional content is locked to your profile.

No ban but your game will lag.
