There is an easy way to make devices accessed outside of the primary household appear as though they are being used on the same home network.
At least one reputable virtual private network service allows Netflix users to bypass the streaming service’s recently-introduced password-sharing limits — at no additional cost.
To address the matter, it has started using a combination of device IDs, IPs, and usage habits to determine the home network of the primary account holder. In around 100 countries, Netflix introduced a bolt-on that allows account holders to link an extra member to their subscriptions for around half the price of a standalone Standard subscription.to add an extra member at a discounted fee.
However, reports suggest that each account is limited to two codes per month, meaning the maximum streaming time on an external device could be two weeks in a month.specifically statesIf you could fool the service into thinking a device uses the same IP address as those on your home connection, you could bypass the home network restriction.Typically, the most sought-after feature that video streaming service users look for in a VPN is bypassing content geo-blocks.
Circumventing the password-sharing limit will effectively require the opposite, with the external devices needing to appear as though they are being used on your home network. With Meshnet, you can link up to 60 devices at a time — 10 you own and 50 external ones — to the same IP address.An important thing to keep in mind is that routing the traffic through an IP connected to your ISP will increase the data being consumed through the main device.At the same time, you will also be consuming data on the external device.
