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’s restrictions are not based on IP address. That would be an incredibly unreliable way of determining a location

    They’re looking at the network you’re connected to. Exactly what they’re looking for is not public
