Netflix absolutely enforced this in the US last year. I was sharing an account with my sister and we started getting notices about choosing a “home base” for our devices so Netflix could register it on their side to enforce if anyone outside of that initial IP began leveraging it.

My solution to this would be:

  • Buy two Raspberry Pis (3 or higher) or use two old laptops if you have them
  • Set up Pi VPN server on the one at your house
  • Connect the one at your sister’s house to it via ethernet to her router
  • Turn that one into a wireless AP (https://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/debian-ubuntu-linux-setting-wireless-access-point/)
  • Connect your sister’s smart TV or whatever devices to it and as far as Netflix are concerned you’re both in the same house
