PUBG VPN: play where the game is blocked

Not for using a VPN as such. Neither Krafton's Terms of Service nor its Rules of Conduct mentions VPNs at all. What the Rules of Conduct do cover is one user running multiple accounts from a single device or IP address for misconduct, in which case Krafton reserves the right to ban every account tied to that device or IP. What gets accounts sanctioned is the address you share, not the tunnel you use.

Sometimes. Datacenter IP ranges are publicly documented, so any game can tell a connection came from a server rather than a home line. That isn't a ban. It usually shows up as a refused connection or a "server busy" error. Switch to a different location and try again.

No. There is no VPN setting, config file, or APK that improves your aim, and the files sold on that promise are what Krafton does ban for. Its penalty table lists using, developing, advertising, trading, or distributing unauthorized programs and hardware devices as a permanent ban. A VPN encrypts a connection. It does not touch the game.

Whichever gives a stable route to the matchmaking pool you want. Open the location list and compare the latency shown next to each server, or tap Fastest Location to have one picked based on current latency. If PUBG is blocked where you are, the country table on this page lists a starting point.

VPNs are legal in most countries, though some restrict or regulate them and the rules change. Check the law where you are before connecting. A VPN also doesn't exempt anyone from Krafton's terms, which apply wherever you play from.

On mobile, yes. The VPN Super free VPN covers 20 countries across 42 locations on iOS, and 15 countries across 26 locations on Android, with unlimited data. Windows and Mac (beta) are Premium only. Be careful with free VPNs generally, because the crowded shared IPs that come with them are the ones most likely to be flagged.

Yes, on Android and iOS. Lite runs on lighter hardware and tighter networks, so connect first, pick a location with low reported latency, and close what you don't need.

In this order: switch to a different location, since the one you're on may be busy; change protocol from the home screen; check that the VPN connected before PUBG launched rather than after. If it still fails, reinstall the App and contact Support.

Sometimes, and no page can tell you in advance. If your provider routes you inefficiently to PUBG's servers, a VPN can offer a shorter path. If your route is already direct, adding a hop costs a few milliseconds. Test both ways and keep whichever is better.
