Yes, absolutely. VPNs can often interfere with Steam's connection and cause the 'WEASEL' error. Temporarily disable your VPN and see if that resolves the issue. If it does, you may need to try a different VPN server or contact your VPN provider for assistance. Some VPNs are simply incompatible with Steam.
