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.

many actually play in the background while she does something else, but apparently they’re necessary

Tangent, but I really wish shows could be tagged as second screen. I'm sick of starting something and realizing 20 minutes in that it's designed and written to be passively listened to rather than actual entertainment

It's insulting to be treated like a moron by a show because they assume you won't be paying attention while watching

Additionally, many have million ad cuts where they repeat what just happened, and depending on where you watch it you may not actually have ads, so it feels like being trapped in a star trek time loop

Can you give some examples of shows that you feel knowingly do this, other than Ancient Aliens or Ghost Hunters?
