Anyone have a writeup on using TailScale to bypass these sorts of limits?

Some folks have said it includes SSID as a check which is definitely a wrinkle. I would have assumed it was mostly just using IP address.

This is one of those cases where the War Against General Purpose Computing is going to own society, score points against users. I assume if you can root & run Magisk you could fake a geolocation for example. But Google & Apple have done everything in their power to make rooted/jailbroken devices practically unusable, to build attestation frameworks & SafetyNet & other systems to make sure corporate payloads run safe from user-agency on devices. What a shitty future!

I'd be curious about how Netflix would get access to your SSID. On a mobile app, you'd have to grant that permission - do they now ask for that?


They should not be able to do that on the browser too, even with Widevine.


On iOS devices I’ve seen streaming services ask for location (Peacock or Paramount+, cannot remember which)


Could you please eli5 how it works, a shared VPN?


Basically you have a machine running at home, and when you want to watch Netflix, you send the traffic through that machine so it looks to Netflix like you're from your home network
