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.
Netflix has no GPS permissions. What various other data are you referring to?
@rumba Wi-Fi network, mobile network, dates, times, user profile, what’s watched, screen size, installation platform - probably a lot of the same techniques that browser fingerprinting uses
Fingerprinting is insufficient for geolocation. If they were a state actor or an ISP, maybe. Everyone who ever leaves their house with a device would show up as a false positive.
Yes, that happens all the time with these streaming services that are cracking down.
