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.

    I do live at 3 locations in 2 countries for work reasons and have a wireguard VPN server at my primary home that acts as a gateway for all my traffic, not only because of streaming but also because my bank locked me out for suspicious behavior before. The routers at locations 2 and 3 are sending all their traffic to my primary home.

    No issues with this setup, I can only recommend it. I also have a centralized NAS this way and all my home assistant instances are interconnected.

          In all locations presumably? Do you know if it’s indistinguishable from you being at your main residence? Like are there any technical ways a service you’re connecting to could tell that you’re going through a VPN? (Just curious BTW!)

            No one location has DSL and the other 5G. Both have around 200 Mbits but thats totally fine.

            It’s completely indistinguishable from my main location and nobody can see I am using VPN.

      In terms of bank, I recommend switching to one that won’t block you for travelling, like Revolut
