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.

    Tail scale, wire guard, open VPN all work

    They see your traffic coming from a residential ISP and don’t give it a second thought.

    That said, if their service is that bad, piracy’s not a bad option. If someone’s going to provide me a service that I have to pay for and then tighten down the screws until let’s no longer reasonable, why should I care about following their rules?
