So sadly my family still insists on using Netflix(for now), and with their recent restrictions you can only have one active TV at the time, unless the TVs are in the same home. So this had me question, what happens if all TVs are put on the same tailnet(or same subnet for that sake), would that be able to “trick” the netflix system? Has anyone tried this? Or do we already know that it wouldnt work?
Linus has a full walkthrough video on how to set this up. I followed it and it appears to be working. I run it on my always on PC and set my address as the home for Netflix. Others have android TVs and have been using the app to check in and continue watching “while traveling”. No issues so far. If they stay connected the bandwidth will go through your network, so keep that in mind
One time I had to order a 50 cent component for a ceiling fan from aliExpress, because it was nowhere else to be found. I paid with a year long bombardment of spam mails.
I’m not very familiar woth Tailscale but the procedure should be as simple as making sure all the traffic runs through the same exit node. Be aware that this might severely strain the upload of that exit node device bit from a technical point of view, it should work. Wait for someone that actually uses Tailscale to respond with details :)
Edit: are you running tailscale on the machine that accesses netflix or on a router?
I never read anything about it but I guess you should try. I don’t think Netflix will know if you are using Tailscale because you will be routing the traffic through a residential IP address.

That’s gonna be a no from me dawg.
Fair enough, but it is a decent video guide. I had trouble finding another one that went into as much detail and was step by step
Haha I’m with you. Sometimes you have to use whatever you can find.

Why, if I may ask? I don’t know much about Linus apart from the fact that I saw some of his videos

Ah alright, didnt know it would be that easy in that case. Can defo set up an exit node for all the devices 👍
