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 pay for Spotify for several reasons :

    1. Unlike Netflix & co. for movies/shows, the catalog size is satisfying on Spotify & co. for music ;
    2. Remote playback and volume control over Internet (branded “Connect”) ;
    3. Contributing to creator revenue.
    4. Voice assistant compatibility ;

    Yet, I use a family subscription, which I share with strangers, because Spotify increase their prices often, and my wallet doesn’t like that.

    Fun fact : when Spotify realizes someone’s doing that and prevents new people from joining (which only happens when people join and leave a lot), creating a new account with a new family subscription (even with the same IP address, home address, username and bank card) and moving everyone to it works fine.
