Usage of VPN
VPN Usage
Required for Fortnite (for one week), Rust (permanently until router reset or new IP), and games with server admins like EFT. Other EAC/BE games may not strictly require a VPN, but using one for the first week is recommended. For casual protection, Windscribe offers 10GB free which is a solid choice and is mostly enough for one week.
❓ | Why is using a VPN required.
Using a VPN is essential to ensure you don't risk a network ban, as we've seen increasing issues with this. It's crucial to make sure everything works smoothly for you. Just use a VPN for one week, and after that, you can safely turn it off without worry.
