The end of account sharing has been hard on Netflix Canada<\/a> customers. Beyond those who shared their account with a stranger, it is the families whose student children were using the family access that find themselves the most penalized. However, there are still some methods to share Netflix for free that we will reveal to you, other services try to recover the disgruntled customers, but there are parallel services of diffusion that are free and legal.<\/p>\n

Why the end of sharing?<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Netflix Canada has long relied on account sharing to grow, not hesitating to praise this practice, the oldest streaming service has reached its critical development point. It’s hard for the company to move forward, while unsubscribing customers unhappy with programs or rate increases have been making headlines long before the decision to end account sharing.<\/p>\n

According to Netflix, by the end of 2022, Netflix had more than 220 million accounts with 100 million sharing their passwords.<\/p>\n

How to still share your Netflix account?<\/h2>\n

It’s still possible to share Netflix Canada, but it requires some computer knowledge or having tens of thousands of dollars to spend on a Tesla.<\/p>\n

Let’s say it right away, the first method will require some computer knowledge, but there’s no need to invest in a computer, even a Raspberry Pie is capable of it. The goal is first to set up your IP address with Netflix Canada. Usually, Netflix does this from a TV, but it doesn’t matter as long as your TV and computer share the same IP address. You then need to install a VPN on your computer and configure it to authorized remote computers. Then you just need to connect to the remote computer via a takeover software and go to Netflix via the browser. This method still requires an uplink data rate of at least 10 MB\/s.<\/p>\n

The second method is the most expensive but is also the easiest to set up. If you are the proud owner of a Tesla and it is set as your primary account, Netflix always “allows” account sharing. This means your family can continue to watch Netflix by logging into your account without you having to pay anything extra.<\/p>\n

Another more complicated, but feasible method is to use a multi-core processor and create up to four virtual computers (Netflix’s screen limit is four). Each virtual computer will have its own VPN and can be remotely controlled, again allowing Netflix to be shared.<\/p>\n

Which video services still allow sharing?<\/h2>\n

Several streaming services still allow you to share your password. Be careful though, these services are currently growing and password sharing allows them to go after this growth as it served Netflix in its time. Eventually, these services will reach a ceiling of users and will have no choice but to use the same methods as Netflix and require unique access. For example, this is the case with HBO, whose CEO John Stankey confirmed during the Q1 2022 earnings call that HBO has the technical means to curb password sharing.<\/p>\n

Here are the services that still allow password sharing:<\/strong><\/p>\n
