The streaming video giant, Netflix, encouraged account sharing among users a few years ago, a move that, unsurprisingly, led to a flood of users signing up for the most expensive plan, the plan that allows you to enjoy content in 4K resolution and also allows joint access for up to 4 users at the same time. However, it had been announcing the end of this type of accounts for several years.
In February of this same year, when Netflix announced the end of shared accounts, many were the users who stated that they would unsubscribe instead of using one of the different cheaper subscription plans that the platform makes available to all users. users interested in accessing your content. In theory, the end of shared accounts only affects users who access the content through a Smart TV, so, in theory, we can continue using our computer connected to a television to access the content without any problems. .
However, no one can assure us that Netflix does not intend to change its mind in the future, and without prior notice. In addition, for the moment, we can use the computer from different locations, but at any time a message may appear on the screen informing us that, either we go to the checkout, or we will no longer be able to access the platform. Fortunately, there are already different options to be able to continue accessing the Netflix catalog from any device, be it a smart TV, smartphone, computer or any other.
With a mobile and TV compatible with AirPlay or Chromecast
The easiest method that does not require any type of investment is using our mobile as long as we have a device that is compatible with the device. If it is an iPhone, an Apple TV or Smart TV compatible with this technology is more than enough. If we’re talking about an Android smartphone, we’re just going to need a device that’s compatible with Chromecast, a support that most modern smart TVs include.
Using a VPN with a Mesh router
NordVPN launched a new method a few weeks ago that allows users with a router with Mesh technology to create a virtual network to which other users who live outside our home can connect and thus all use the same IP to connect to the platform. Although it does not advertise it that way, the purpose of this function is really to allow users to continue sharing accounts as before.
In this way, we will be able to continue sharing the account without problems, although the expense of contracting a VPN will have to be added. If we choose to hire the platform for 2 years, the monthly cost that users will have to assume does not reach one euro per month, so it is an excellent solution.
