Post subject:  Steam over proxy
I am wondering is there a free way to use steam over proxy (or VPN) to make your IP appear as if you are in a different country (in my case I want to have polish IP)? I tried a bunch of stuff but I just can't seem to get it working. I know there are paid VPN services which work but I am interested in a free solution, if there is one of course.

You can use Proxifier to make any application go through a SOCKS or HTTPS proxy. In theory, using it on Steam with a Polish proxy should work.

I use proxycap to make things go through proxy.
ZWT released a KG for x86-x64 verion of the latest one. Search for it.

The activation of certain keys and promos demands that you have an IP from a specific country.

Well i tried it but it just didn't work. I'll try with proxycap now.
Another question. What is the best way to search for a proxy? It's a pain in the ass just to find one (socks4/5 one). I suppose I can't use HTTPS one to make it work with steam application?

The only working free VPN that I know of is offered by HideME.ru / inCloak.com and it's a 24 hour trial.

Check Method 2 on this thread for a tutorial on how to get it to work.

Not only. You can also buy games in foreign country currencies, making some games significantly cheaper than the prices in your actual country.

There are many blogs which offer lists of SOCKS proxies for you to use. This and this are two of them. There's also Google, a query like "-country- socks proxies" or similar should yield results.

Note they must be checked first. Only a portion of the ones on blogs will work. You can use a program like Charon to check the availability of proxies before using them (it won't work out of the box, so read the documentation first).

As far as my knowledge goes, an HTTPS proxy is a regular HTTP one that supports the CONNECT method, and hence can be used to tunnel almost everything. Steam uses UDP a lot and I'm not sure they support it, though (same goes for SOCKS4).
