Using VPN to play Get to Work early?

Hi 🙂

I'm considering using a VPN to play the new expansion pack early. Is this still 'allowed' or you know, is it still not a bannable offense? I've searched, but the latest I can find on the subject, is from October last year. I'm just wondering if the rules have changed?

If so I don't want to, as I obviously don't want to get banned.

Also just so you know, I have bought and paid for the game in my own country so I haven't broken that rule!

I just would like to play the game early 🙂 

Thank you for your time 🙂
