I can't remember how I got mine to 12 specifically but you can do some simple steam steps.

Add phone authentication, make a comment on a photo on steam, add a friend, rate an item on the steam shop.

Doing all this is free and gets you good xp to level up. Also you can craft badges from trading cards you have. Like I said I'm lvl 12 steam and I haven't spent a penny getting there. :) Good luck

The first thing you should do is to turn off your VPN.

If a hacker gets banned from the same IP, you will be permabanned despite what your steam level is.
