Original Post — Direct link

Hi
I am wondering if I can get banned for using VPN while playing Siege? I live in the US and in early morning hours queue times are abysmal. I often play with my friends in Europe anyway, accepting the higher ping. However, when they're not playing and I decide to play myself, would using VPN to switch to a EU server get me banned?
Ubisoft has an article recommending caution but that's about that. Is there any other bit of info I am missing?

@tyrolek Hey! Thank you for getting in touch about the use of VPN in Ubisoft games. Ubisoft strongly recommends that players avoid the use of VPN services. Players who decide to use VPN do so at their own discretion while being aware of the potential risks associated. 

You can find more information on this here.

If you are experiencing long loading times you can manually change your data center here. This will allow you to connect to others outside of your region without the use of a VPN.

If you need anything further please let us know.

Thank you.
