I did read about this. However, the Netflix FAQ does shed more light on this than the articles I read:
Each plan determines how many devices can play Netflix at the same time, as long as those devices belong to people in the same household. Please refer to our plans and pricing for details.
It does look like even the premium, multi-user accounts, are subject to the “same household” rule.
Maybe already saw this, but they just said that announcement was an error.
Routing all traffic through the “home network” (or any other IP you decide is home) also works b
Yes - I do have UDM - but I’m referring to my daughter who is in college and has an Apple TV with her, and how can she use the campus Ethernet (or wifi) and connect to our UDM (actually I use Untangle for the firewall, but use Unifi for everything else inside the house) - so my question here is, how can my daughter get a VPN connection to my home from her college room for her Apple TV? Not sure I can have her using a router inside the campus network? And there is no VPN client on the Apple TV?
It depends on what you have at home. If you can setup a wireguard vpn server at home. Then get an inexpensive travel router (ex. Gl.Inet Mango or Opal) and configure it’s VPN client. Then connect to the wifi on the travel router when needed.
Yes, it’s extremely stupid that they limit the # of screens while charging additional for additional screens and still complain about password sharing… So, if you are going to limit to a single “household” then the screen limiting should be eliminated…
So, they way they are going is base has commercials/ads, you pay to get rid of those. Then you are also only getting one screen at a time, so pay more for additional. Then, you can’t have multiple locations for a house hold (ex. Cabins, permanent locations for campers, kids at college, etc.) and have to may more for additional members to get those additional locations…
The VPN support comes out this fall, and yes, she can have her own router inside the dorm, which is a really good idea keeps her traffic separate.
