Sharing Your Netflix Account

I wonder how the “fingerprinting” will deal with users who access Netflix primarily through a VPN or relay service.

On Netflix’s side, they would see multiple accounts accessing the service via the same IP ranges.

VPNs still work with Netflix?

Way back when Netflix was mostly still non-original content and movies, the US had a far superior selection compared to Canada, so a lot of us Canadians used VPNs to get access to US content.

Around 2015 Netflix clamped down hard on VPNs, such that I couldn't even use them to watch any content, let alone content from specific countries. I tried a few options and all failed, so I assumed most other people gave up with me.
