Hey,
I’m not exactly sure if this post is even belonging here but why not just give it a try?
As you probably know Netflix went from “love is sharing a password” to “want to share passwords? fuck you! pay us extra!”. Because I used the Netflix of a friend and that’s no longer an option I’m looking for alternatives.
As much as I like the idea of having a small server or NAS here and just download whatever, that’s currently not an option because it would simply be too expensive.
So before I quit my own Netflix account I used a Turkish VPN, entered my credit card data and payed about 6 Euro for 4k Netflix. The problem when I try to go the same route right now is a) For some reason even though I have a Turkish IP, the site still uses US $ and b) You seem to need a Turkish phone number to verify that you’re indeed Turkish
Do you know a way around this?
My brother and I share our Netflix. What I did was setup Tailscale on my computer, and have him connect to it. We also use it for LAN gaming, and it provides him access to my various web services (like Plex).
Tailscale is an implementation of the Wireguard VPN protocol. It’ll basically make Netflix think you’re at the same IP as the host machine. Tailscale is free as well, which is a bonus. It will provide you with absolutely no protection if you’re torrenting though. You’ll want a paid VPN provider for that.
