So I would not be allowed to watch Netflix on my work computer during my lunch break?
- bonzini 3y agoYou might be able to but you'd have to reauthenticate every now and then, basically as if you were in a vacation home. The details aren't clear.
- mdasen 3y agoIt might depend. If you regularly take your work computer home and connect from your home network, it should be fine. Otherwise, Netflix might challenge you and you might be able to verify the device.

It's not like most people will commute across the country for work, so if you're within a reasonable commute distance they not view that as a problem. But if you're using a device that's always 4+ hours drive away, I think it's fair game for Netflix to look at that with suspicion. Also, Netflix could look at viewing habits from different devices. If you watch something from a device at home, and then watch the next episode of that show at work, that's a good indicator that you're the same person using two different devices.
