Yes, there are many, many entirely legitimately purchased games that tell you to do that.

You need to configure a firewall rule in Windows.

Here is some handy-dandy documentation from Microsoft that includes information on how to do that. If you want to pirate games, you are going to have to learn to help yourself.

Disconnect your router/modem when playing?

Real answer:
You need to know what the game is doing, which website it's accessing, which ports it's using.

    Blah. 3 of my NSO + Expansion Pass family group members are leaving. Found one replacement so far but still need to fill two empty slots. I have 9 days or i eat the extra cost myself. But with a full group $11 for a year is a good deal. imo
