I'm not a mod obviously, but as far as I know some people here use VPNs. It's not against the rules.

You can use it if you want but there will be a performance hit, so if you find that acceptable, then use it if you want.

In general, using a VPN shouldn't cause any issues with playing on chess.com, but some websites can have problems with VPNs. So if you're having trouble connecting to chess.com while using a VPN, it might be worth trying to disable it to see if that helps.
Alternatively, you could consider using a proxy server as an alternative option for protecting your online privacy. Proxies are a simple and effective way to mask your IP address and can be a safer choice for some websites. I use mixed proxy VPNs like vpn for india server chrome extension. It's a popular option that could help you connect to chess.com and other websites more easily and give the benefits of both a VPN and a proxy.
