officially banned free account sharing. The platform has started checking whether subscription subscribers actually live in the same household. But users have already found creative ways to bypass this blockade – at least in part.
How to bypass account sharing on Netflix? Here are the ways
Netflix allows you to use the “Travel” option so that people who travel often can watch series while away from home. It turns out that the service checks which router we are connecting to. Internet users write in social media that if we log in to the website from the Wi-Fi network belonging to the main household at least once a month, we will successfully bypass the blockade.
Users also pointed out that people sharing an account and logging into the Netflix app on Smart TVs receive a block message. Interestingly, when we use the website via a web browser or mobile application, the message about sharing accounts does not appear
Netflix has banned account sharing
As Netflix explained last month, the account is for the subscriber and the people who live with them, i.e. for a given household. The account can be made available to a person with whom you do not live for an additional fee of PLN 9.99 / month. In addition, Netflix asks you to verify the devices used by subscribers. “Confirm that the TV belongs to your household” – this type of message appears to Poles on their screens.
