When they told me I won’t be able to protect my ip address by asserting I was no longer allowed to have a vpn I quit Netflix

I really don't understand that tech. If you have wireguard on your machine, it shouldn't be able to leak your IP address in theory. Do they rootkit your PC or some shit?

I would imagine that they are looking for IP addresses of known VPNs.

Eh, if you put it on a router, how would they know? Was going to set up wg to route to one IP to allow multiple households - but after the witcher fiasco I thought 'fuck it' and unsubscribed.

Yes truly just not worth the money or effort lol

What they do is they monitor the ownership of blocks of ip addresses they call it autonomous systems numbers or ASN’s it’s basically the way that farms of servers claim ownership of ip addresses
