From a different article on thestreamable:
Netflix uses information such as IP addresses, device IDs, and account activity to determine whether a device signed into your account is connected at your primary location.
I have 2 family members counting myself on my account and each of us have a different static public IP address but within the same CIDR block so I guess that is the end of Netflix for me?
- themitigating 4y agoMaybe but that's a very strange situation so the loss to Netflix from people in your situation wouldn't be significant.
- beardyw 4y agoIt would be for them.
- LinuxBender 4y agoPerhaps that is the case these days. Some years ago I knew many people that had 5 static IP's for their family but I have no idea if that is still a thing. I tried to get 5 IP's for each of my fiber connections and the ISP was going to have a board meeting to discuss it so I settled for one. Small ISP I use IP addresses much like DBA's use disk space and memory.
- donmcronald 4y ago> different static public IP address but within the same CIDR block I have three dynamic IPs on different CIDR blocks. They'll change if the MAC address of my firewall changes, so I wonder what happens if I swap my firewall. I wonder how strict the checks will be. I can easily send my siblings a VPN gateway with wireless using the same SSID as I do.
