VPN Guide
Alright so we all want sum of dat fallout 4, and there's been a ton of "HALP VPN PLZ!" So here is the how-to.
First off, your gonna go to: www.f-secure.com And download their VPN Service called "F-Secure Freedome". (It's free 14 days trail, but enough for the release AND it does not have a Data usage cap) In case you have to download a 1GB Day one Patch.
Install it.
Now that you have installed it. Exit steam, Change the VPN Connection to Melbourne and wait for it to connect.
Now, even though your connected to VPN, steam will still have the same countdown timer like before. nothing's changed. However, if you head over to google, type Fallout 4 Steam, and access the store page via your browser, you will now see the correct timer for the release.
When that timer is closing in on it's release, start up steam with the VPN Active, and will start to download. (Yes, even though the timer for steam itself is wrong.) After unlocking the game, switch to offline mode, disable the VPN and play and have fun!
also, disclaimer. Steam normally doesn't give a about people unlocking the game early, however if they do crack down on it for some unlikley reason, then don't cry to me. OWN RISK PPL.
IMPORTANT: Fallout 4 will be unlocking at 2:00AM NZ NOT 12:01AM. This translates to 8AM EST.
store.steampowered.com/app/377160/?cc=NZ Just be aware of the times zones you are in currently.
was asked to put this in.
FAQ:
Q: Can i be banned for doing this? A: No!
Q: Does this work for PS4/XBONE? A: No, sadly.
Q: Do i need to stay in VPN forever? A: No, only to unlock the game, launch it, then put steam into offline mode. THEN turn of VPN. (Don't restart your computer though until the game is released in your region
Q: Halp, the steam page in my browser does not show the new countdown: A: Restart browser.
Q: OMG!! Can't connect to steam via VPN? A: Some people have reported that restarting your PC OR Try using vyprvpn as your VPN.
UPDATE:On Freedome's Twitter it says they are experiencing high traffic in AU probably due to this. Perhaps try a different VPN if you can find one.
