Starlink and Market
Hello everyone!

I'm currently using Starlink as I live in a very rural area and it seems that all of their IPs are blacklisted by Steam most likely due to either DoS or something else.. thus I cannot use the marketplace at all. Which is still a stupid thing to do instead of putting a reCaptcha and checking by user/session by the way..

First time opening the URL today - I get "You've made too many requests recently. Please wait and try your request again later."

Is there a solution to this other than using a VPN, which again - may be unreliable?

It could be because of how shared ip's work that the marketplace does not like and why services like starlink can be hit or miss for a lot of services to prevent abuse.

That's exactly it as it's a /24 shared pool that's shared across the entire country here (Bulgaria), although shouldn't be an issue in the firstplace.

Shared ip's like that can be abused heavily and why a lot of services will not work well with them.

Not to mention it's a major security issue also.
