A quick google search didn't yield anything about whether or not a VPN is strictly against the rules, just a few forum posts about people requesting all vpn use banned.

I can guarantee it's not, as I and many others use them, and have for years.

What might give the mistaken impression that they are banned is that they are banned ... if you use them to try and circumvent other rules.

For instance, let's say you think you're going to be clever and two-box by using a VPN to make it seem like the two accounts you're playing are separate computers: that most certainly is prohibited (and it will work right up until it doesn't, and both your accounts get banned for life).

But as long as you play by the "one human per account" rule (and all the other rules of course) VPNs are 100% acceptable.
