Does anyone use a VPN to subvert the Netflix household device fencing? (programming.dev)

AFAICT, if a Netflix account owner sets up a VPN for their household, then anyone sharing the account who routes their Netflix traffic through that VPN would appear to be accessing Netflix from that household's WAN IP address.

Is anyone doing this? Is it really that simple or are there more challenges?

EDIT: We get it, you like torrenting. Let's keep comments on topic folks.

I considered setting up a Pi for WireGuard at my mom's house (her router doesn't support VPN), so we could share subscriptions still, but decided it wasn't worth the hassle and risk that they would start VPN detecting from the client: could just imagine them sending her emails about it that would confuse her lol
