Is there anyway to use my Netflix account in two locations?
By having both locations using Surfshark and both using say Chicago?
Probably not. Surfshark will likely have multiple servers in Chicago, each serving multiple IP addresses.
You must be right. I tried it and it didn’t work.
Thanks for the reply.
Netflix has a multitiered system on how it determines if you’re encroaching on sharing your account across different locations.
The meat of their software analyzes ip addresses in different layers, identifying normal and irregularities, time patterns of usage, etc.
Then to some lesser degree, it’s been suggested that device identifyers are logged and recognized to some capacity in addition.
Lot of headache.
Yes, it sounds confusing. I thought if I had a cabin a few miles from us, I could
use NetFlix at both locations, Thinking they would let me since I can only watch
one TV at a time.
I’d try it - worst case, you’ll get a warning or two first if it trips a flag in their system.
I did try it and it didn’t work. I supposed you both have to be on the same server.
Thanks for the reply.
I too have 2 different residences, thus 2 different zip code locations. I originally found that by changing my zip code location in all firesticks to one, that seemed to help. I am using Surfshark and I originally had that location set to TAMPA, but Surfshark shut it down along with another in close proximity, they said due to the lack of servers. So I had to resort to using the next closest location to my zip, to Orlando in Surfshark, since there is no closer location to my other zip code up north other than Chicago. The idea is to keeping the firestick home zip codes all the same and in close proximity of the Surfshark location settings. I just wish Surfshark had closer locations to one of my 2 “home” zip codes. I constantly check Surfshark to see if they have added any new locations closer to me, but to no avail. It tends to be a struggle at times. Anyone else using a similar workaround?
Have tried getting a hold of customer service an ask them if they can had a server where you are trying to get just an idea it won’t hurt all they can say is no
Add a server
