This product is not available in your steam region. Bypass: "This product is not available in your region"

My acquaintance with the famous online store happened at the end of 2012.

I live in Yakutia, the region is remote, but not remote. The only downside to our location (besides the weather) is the prices and variety of products. Delivery to us takes a long time, and one can only envy the impudence of our entrepreneurs, and therefore our prices are simply sky-high.

The assortment suffers greatly from this; you won’t find anything rare and exclusive during the day, so the appearance of Wb was a pleasant discovery for us.

A sea of ​​goods, clothes, accessories and toys. All this, coupled with free delivery, did its job, and people began to actively shop. And me in particular. Birthdays, New Year and other holidays ceased to be a headache, as gifts could be found for every taste and budget.

In addition, there was a good discount system. It still works, but it's getting more nuanced.

As you can see, quite a few purchases have been made. Over the past 5 years, my family has spent a tidy sum and we have earned the maximum regular customer discount of 17%

At first it worked as it should, I was especially pleased with the promotional codes that were often added with my discount. Sometimes a purchase could be made at a really great discount.

The only downside was the delivery, but this is a common complaint, crumpled packaging, over-sorting and under-delivery. But this happened rarely, but otherwise everything was great.

But we were not happy for long. Soon restrictions began to appear, and in the end it resulted in this:

Here's your discount. Now all products have icons, every day there is some kind of promotion for which the discount does not apply, and besides, the list of such brands is constantly expanding.

Since the fall, this discount no longer affects my orders, little by little we got used to it.

But it didn't end there. It has long been noticed that the store’s assortment is very different if you don’t log in right away. A colossal amount of goods simply disappears upon authorization.

We did not suffer from this until recent events. Now I will show you how things are now using the example of my purchased orders and deferred goods.

This order has already been purchased, and now when opening any of these products we see:

This item is not available for delivery to your region.

When I first saw such a signature on a G-shock watch, I was not very surprised, deciding that the product was expensive, they were playing it safe... But now it has reached the point of absurdity. See for yourself:

Sandals are not an expensive or fragile product at all. Both positions are now unavailable.

And the other day I had a shock. I went into the deferred goods and was surprised at the lack of goods; I really thought they had bought everything.

I start opening each one, and what do I see?

This is a bummer, gentlemen! Everything is inaccessible. I started scrolling through my past orders, and I won’t be able to order any of this again. As I felt, in December I prescribed my favorite eyebrow shadows, which were not yet out, so to speak, “in reserve”

Now, looking through the catalog of available goods, I understand that there is nothing left to take, and what is available will immediately become unavailable for order.

I don't understand the store's policy. So many people just get dumped

For more than five years, people have enjoyed the opportunity to purchase goods that are affordable to the general population of our country without feeling deprived. And what did Wb do? He simply abandoned them.

I’ve come to terms with delivery, it’s like roulette, lucky/unlucky, with promotional codes that now don’t work with discounts, and with delivery itself, which is of no use, just one name, but the latest restrictions are the last straw. We'll have to look for an alternative to this IM.

Happy shopping everyone and thank you for your attention!

Today I decided to tell you about a solution to the problem associated with regional restrictions on Steam. There are good "Free to Play" games on Steam - Fear Online, APB, Tom Clancy's etc., but entry to “Russian” users is “Closed”.

Hello friends. StroNNeiT is with you. Now I have the opportunity to tell you about this whole situation if you have not encountered it.

What is a Steam regional restriction?

Regional restriction on Steam is the protection of goods from users of a certain region. For the example in the picture (it is above), I took the game. Not a bad shooter, but not for "Russians". When we try to open the game page, we will receive a notification that “the product is not available in your region.”

Oddly enough, but everything is very simple. To do this, simply follow the sequence of actions described below.
1) First, you need to go to the page of the game you are interested in in the Steam store.

As an example, I took the game Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Online.

2) Go to the page with the game.
We will immediately receive the already familiar message about unavailability.
3) Now you need to copy the numbers after the word "app/" in the address bar.

4) Press the key combination "win + R".
The "Win" button is a button on the keyboard, most often indicated by the Windows logo. We lie between "ctrl" and "alt".

5) Enter the following text into the window: steam://install/digit

I again use the example of Tom Clancy's.

6) Click “Ok” and get the result.

Alternative way to get product numbers:
There is such a situation. It is shown below in the figure.

When there is no usual link, you can get the number by right-clicking anywhere on the workspace and selecting "copy page address". And also press Win + R and paste the link. After that, we delete everything except the numbers.

That's all.

I hope I helped some people and my work was not in vain. StroNNeiT was with you. Have a nice day!

Some of you have already encountered a problem more than once when you could not install or simply even find a game on Steam, since it had regional restrictions. When you try to access the game page you are given the following information:

Quote

200?"200px":""+(this.scrollHeight+5)+"px");">
Oh sorry!
An error occurred while processing your request:

This product is not available in your region

An unpleasant moment, especially when you really want to play this game. But there is one very simple and concise solution to this problem, which has been working for many years.

How to bypass regional restrictions on Steam

I will look at everything using the example of the free game APB Reloaded (For those who do not know, this is something like GTA). The game is in the list of free games, but you can’t install it because they trigger regional restrictions, but it doesn't matter.

1. First we need to get a unique game ID, to do this we need to go to the game page and copy the last digits from the address bar.

Quote

200?"200px":""+(this.scrollHeight+5)+"px");">http://store.steampowered.com/app/113400/

These numbers vary for each game.

2. After receiving the game ID, the only thing left is small, you need to paste the ID into this link: steam://install/113400 (113400 you need to replace it with the ID of another game you are interested in).
Then you simply the resulting link paste into browser and press ok. If it doesn’t work, then press the key combination Win+R and paste the link there. Well, if this doesn’t work, then just go to Steam, and write this link to any of your friends, in the chat it will automatically turn into a clickable one and there you click on it and simply install the game.

Any Internet user sooner or later encounters blocking of the information he needs, especially for movie sites that often violate copyright and other laws. For example, many people now receive the message “Content is not available in your region, we apologize for the inconvenience” when trying to download the popular series “Game of Thrones” or other video. There is also an addition to the error: “Sorry, video was deleted. Error”, which literally means the video has been removed from the resource. Next we will show how to bypass such “prohibitions”.

Content unavailable – Sorry, video was deleted. Error

What does this error mean?

First, let's figure out what this notification means and why it appears. In most cases the reasons are:

1. Blocking of content by government agencies – Roskomnadzor;
2. Unavailability of a resource in your region - sanctions;
3. Closing access to a certain video by the copyright holder for residents of certain territories is the author’s requirements.

Most often, users are faced with the unavailability of a certain video clip on Rutube, online cinemas and even YouTube. However, the solutions below are useful in other cases, such as if the site is generally illegal in your country. By the way, the users of Crimea suffer greatly because of this. The optimal way to bypass is considered changing your IP address via VPN. How and what to do will be discussed further.

How to bypass the blocking

But don't be upset! It is impossible to censor and block the World Wide Web, and you can access anything. There are several simple methods, but they have varying effectiveness. Thanks to this, you will choose the most convenient option for you.

VPN extensions and programs

You can also disguise your location using browser plugins. To do this you will need to install and enable them. As a rule, an icon is displayed in the upper right corner of the browser window informing you that the VPN is enabled or disabled. Here you can quickly switch between activating and deactivating the plugin.

• Plugins are considered a safer and simpler solution. They are installed from extension store(Chrome, Opera, Mozilla Firefox, Safari) and have a clear interface.
• The most popular are ZenMate, FriGate, Hola, HotSpot Shield, Touch VPN, Browsec, but there are many more similar extensions.
• The same extensions are available for Android as a separate application.

There are also VPN clients that are installed on PCs. The most popular of them are:

• Hide Me, HideGuard, VPNGate, Windscribe;
• TunnelBear and CyberGhost - limited access.

Proxy server

The operating principle of the service is very simple. All you need to do is find a proxy server website on the Internet. There will be a line on it where you need to place the address you are interested in. Click “GO”, and a page without blocking will open in front of you. Please note that content may be blocked in several countries, so the proxy server must be selected from those that work in countries without blocking.

Turbo mode in Opera

The Opera browser has the ability to enable turbo mode. Initially, it was intended to speed up the browser at low Internet speeds. The Opera server receives data from the desired site, compresses it, and transmits it to the user’s computer, greatly saving traffic.

Anonymous Tor Browser

Many advanced users often hear about this application. This browser provides complete anonymity online, removing all types of censorship. Moreover, there are hidden sites that exist on a separate Tor network. You won’t be able to get into it from a regular browser or through a regular search engine. Of course, the hidden network hosts specific resources that often offer illegal products and goods.

• Among other things, this browser has a lot of settings. As an advanced user, you can increase your security and anonymity online several times.
• Disadvantage: low speed, may not be suitable for watching video content.

IP address spoofing in browsers

You can go further and register your IP and port to it yourself. Each browser has its own setting, so if you are interested in a solution, you can easily find instructions for your case. To find an IP, you will need to enter in the search engine "list of proxy servers" and select the ones you need.

• How is this convenient? First of all, the ability to choose not only a country, but also a specific city. Of course, from those proposed in the lists.
• You can also set public DNS in your PC network settings: 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4

Conclusion

All these programs and services will help you get around the error “Content is not available in your region. Sorry, video was deleted. Error". At the end, I would like to add the following - the first server connected via VPN will not always allow you to upload your video; you may have to look for the optimal one. I will also note the bypass connection speed offered by the programs described above - it may differ, as a rule - in paid versions the speed is higher.
