Why can a game detect the region incorrectly?
Games use their own IP geolocation and anti-fraud filters. Sometimes an IP is technically foreign but still considered unsuitable by the game.

VPN for League of Legends: access, ping and restrictions
For League of Legends, ping, stability and Riot rules matter. VPN should be used as a diagnostic route, not as a way to bypass account restrictions.
What matters for games
do not expect zero ping: route, game server and user network all matter
check whether the game blocks datacenter IPs
use trial before payment if a specific game is the goal
restart the game after turning VPN on so it detects the network again
How to test
1
Close the game completely.
2
Turn on WersidePN and wait for a stable connection.
3
Open the game again and test login, matchmaking and latency.
4
If a regional error appears, contact support: another route may be needed.
Common questions
Can I play through free VPNs?
Usually it is worse for ping, stability and safety. For games, test a stable paid profile.
What should I do if it lags?
Test mobile and Wi-Fi networks separately, close background downloads and refresh the subscription profile.
