Is there anyway to use a vpn(im using avast) with the launcher, it seems to only work if i sign in through RL directly, otherwise it gives me this error even on the website:

Why do ppl use vpn to play this game? It isn’t available in some countries?

vpn’s in general are used to protect your system and identity in a general sense online, not just to circumvent region locks. im just using it to be on the safe side mainly.
