As the title suggests...a neighbour and I have been sharing a Netflix account for a couple of years. We've had the notification checking if this is 'our' account and saying something about accounts needing to be on the same network. Fortunately, we live in the same building so I can get on her internet in my bedroom, but I am unable in my living room.
I am wondering how having a VPN and us being in the same location on that (Windscribe - eg location Biscuits) would affect us and if this would be deemed as the same location for Netflix purposes? We would both still be showing as the UK so it's not as if we're trying to pretend we're in another country, we just don't want anyone knowing our exact location.
Cheers for any information ✌️

sorted byThen cancel also one internet line and just split bills for it in half, everyone save a bit through the years.
If it's the case of simply connecting to her WiFi occasionally being OK by Netflix then that's definitely not a problem.
Not sure how Netflix monitor things exactly but I was wondering if a vpn like Windscribe would be more suspicious to Netflix .... theres a fair chance they know the range of ip addresses in use.
Do you actually use the neighbours wifi to connect from your bedroom or are you saying its possible?
With the neighbours permission of course ....I was thing you using your account from her wifi on a periodic basis might calm Netflix down a bit?? (edited)
