Netflix trick of tricks: this is how you can still share your account

Yes, they are really not crazy over there at Netflix. I guess there are quite smart people. Because yes, otherwise you wouldn't be one of the largest companies in the world. But yes, sharing your account with all your family members and friends, that's not so easy anymore. Or is it?

We know a handy trick that allows you to keep sharing your account.

• Using a shared wifi network or VPN: Netflix recognizes a “household” based on the IP address used to access the account. By using a VPN (Virtual Private Network), you can ensure that multiple users have the same IP address, even if they are not in the same location. This makes it seem to Netflix as if the account is being used at home. How do you do that? Choose a reliable VPN service and make sure all users select the same server location, so it appears as if you are in the same place. This gives Netflix the impression that the account is still being used within the same household.
• What also helps is logging into someone's wifi for a bit. So from the one who pays nicely, let's say. Then Netflix sees that you are there too, and they find it acceptable for 1 month. Logging into someone's wifi every month is enough, because during your vacation you can't use your own wifi network, but you can still continue watching your series.
• Access via mobile devices: Netflix seems to be more lenient with devices used outside the main network, such as mobile phones or tablets. If you share your Netflix account with someone who primarily watches on a smartphone, they may be able to stream without verification codes.

Or you just play the game fairly and add an extra member to your account for 3.99 euros per month. It's still cheaper than someone having to create a completely separate account. It's not that expensive to binge your favorite series, right? One less coffee to go, then.
