Frequently Asked Questions
Is VPN allowed on Valorant?
Yes, you can use a VPN to play Valorant and other games developed by Riot Games. Many players use a VPN to prevent DDoS attacks and mask their IP address. Riot Games Terms of Service don’t explicitly prohibit the use of VPNs, but they do state that cheating in any form, such as manipulating matchmaking or exploiting the game, can result in disciplinary action.
What VPN is good for Valorant?
Windscribe is a great choice for Valorant (and other games like League of Legends, for example). We’ve got a strict no-logs policy (which means we don’t log anything that can be tied back to your identity behind the screen), servers in 69+ countries, our pal R.O.B.E.R.T. (he blocks ads, trackers, and malicious content), and low-latency servers optimized for gaming. Everything you needs for a smoother, safer gaming experience. So, whatever it is that you’re looking for a VPN for, we’ve got you covered, boo!
Can Riot detect VPN?
Riot Games, the developer of Valorant and League of Legends, can detect VPN usage, especially if you're using a well-known or frequently used server. However, as long as you're not violating any game rules (like location spoofing or manipulating matchmaking), using a VPN should be fine. Plus, Windscribe uses some pretty smart protocols to avoid detection as much as possible.
Can I change the Valorant region with a VPN?
Well.. not quite. Technically, you can use a VPN to make the game think you're connecting from a different location, but you can't officially change your region in the game with just a VPN. Your region is tied to your account, so to fully change your region, you’ll need to go through Riot Games’ account settings, and sometimes it requires a region transfer request.
Does VPN lower ping in Valorant?
Sure, yeah, a VPN can help lower ping if you're connecting to a server that's closer to you or if your ISP is throttling your gaming traffic. However, it can also sometimes increase ping if you're connected to a far-off server. The key is choosing a server that gives you the best route to Valorant's regional servers (which often means the closest one to where you are).
Is it illegal to use a VPN for gaming?
Unless you’re using a VPN to do something illegal, you’re fine. Many players use VPNs for security, privacy, and to bypass DDoS attacks. But if you’re using a VPN to spoof your location or mess with matchmaking, you might get yourself a one-way ticket to Banville. So, yeah, just don’t use it to cheat or to do something you wouldn’t want police to find out about.
