Hello,

I set up Stremio + Real Debrid for my girlfriend and we have been really enjoying it.

Since we use different VPNs at the moment, I had the idea to create a VM with stremio and a connection to the same server she's connected to.

The idea being we could use the debrid account simultaneously and have the same IP.

I quickly realized that the last digit of our client IPs were 0-3 digits off from each other, IE:

185.243.218.89 vs 185.243.218.90

Upon seeing this I stopped and checked the debrid account/email to check for a warning and saw nothing.

Question 1: Is this safe/acceptable, or is this considered breach of debrid TOS?

Question 2: Would configuring a VPN on our router solve this issue? Or would it be the same situation?

I'm a bit of a networking idiot as you can see but I'm on a journey to learn.

Thanks in advance

2 simultaneous sessions on different devices/IP's = inconsequential. A 3rd simultaneous session = auth tokens revoked on all authorised devices, and you get a warning that lasts for 1 week. If 3 simultaneous sessions occur again within that time then your account gets removed.
