Using VPN´s for playing online poker is prohibited by all pokerrooms that I know.
Most rooms have KYC programs that kick in before you even start to play (document verification, passport verification and so on) that will also check if you are playing from a prohibited location.
This can lead to losing your winning/deposits.
This is not what you want.

Of course they dont allow it. The whole point of a VPN is to pretend, you are somewhere else, than where you actually are. And if a poker site has a list of excluded territories, this mean, they dont want players from there to sign up and play. For instance I live in Sweden, and if I open the WPT Global homepage from a swedish IP-adress, a message pop up telling me, they are not offering their services in my region. So I am not allowed to download the software or sign up.navicula said:
OP however live in Algeria, which is not on the list of excluded territories for WPT Global, so he can actually play there, which apparently he does. And since he has at least one site (there might be more), that is willing to let him play, there is no reason to try to cheat sites, that dont want to let him play. This will usually only result in problems down the road like a confiscated balance and a closed account.
The only situation, where a site might be ok with the use of a VPN, is if they accept players from a certain country, but the internet providers of that country block access to international gambling sites. But even then you need to ask yourself, if its really worth it. Withdrawals and deposits will likely be complicated, and you might face problems with the law as well, since clearly your government do not want you to play on those sites.
