I also wouldn't consider this a secret....

I found years ago that if you block ubi.com and ubisoft.com (if you have a self hosted DNS or a way to block domains on a network), and any other sub domains you might spot, the games work fine. They just take like a full minute to load while they try their best to hit the servers. So yeah I've never agreed to the TOS for a few games as a result.

Needles to say, you'll need these domains unblocked to play multiplayer.
