I don’t have a static ip-address. I am curious to see how they will deal with that.

- ilyt 3y agoI'd imagine they stick some kind of device fingerprint and only start bothering user if there is too many of new devices that never share same network. Or maybe ping lan for other netflix app. Or remember the MAC address of router or something.

- ilyt 3y agohttps://amiunique.org/ https://amiunique.org/ is fun thing to look at. Thankfully getting MAC of router or other similar network stuff would be hard from browser.
- gnicholas 3y agoPerhaps you have to designate a primary device, and then any of the secondary devices that access from the same IP can migrate for X weeks/months before having to be on the same IP as the primary?
- nasmorn 3y agoThat is going to be quite the schlep with his second houses tv every couple of weeks. I would cancel too
- gnicholas 3y agoI assume he wouldn't care if TVs in other homes stay logged in when he's not there. As long as they work when he visits, wouldn't that be enough? It could be annoying if another family member goes there for a week and it won't log in because the primary device isn't present.
- nasmorn 3y agoI guess I misunderstood then. So you mean you activate the network with your primary phone and then it stays active for some time. That would actually work for me.
