AFAICT, if a Netflix account owner sets up a VPN for their household, then anyone sharing the account who routes their Netflix traffic through that VPN would appear to be accessing Netflix from that household’s WAN IP address.
Is anyone doing this? Is it really that simple or are there more challenges?
EDIT: We get it, you like torrenting. Let’s keep comments on topic folks.
How would it know you’re using a VPN?
if you use the Netflix application chances are they’ll detect the virtual network on your system and if it’s in use, most people don’t seem to realize that applications have direct access to your hardware unless it’s containerized, virtualized or explicitly restricted by some policy.
That is not true at all
