@arrjay i would be interested in testing it out myself to see what exactly they're looking for but i don't think we even have an active netflix account in the family right now

@rudi I think we largely watch via PC intermediation so I'm curious if this is something the app is doing, yeah

@arrjay i was thinking the same thing, wondering if it's only something they can really do as an android/ios app. kind of why i don't like company specific 'apps'

@rudi and _in theory_ ios is not supposed to reveal network information, so...yeah this is an unreliable signal at best.

(there's also an entire book of "what makes a family" in here but I suspect you're aware.)

@arrjay my thought is, given how OP's network setup sounds a little bit screwy they might have misfired something that's intended to differentiate 'households' behind a cg-nat setup or something like that. but these things are always intentionally a little bit opaque

@rudi @arrjay it's okay with four discrete Wi-Fi APs, correctly NAT'ed, which we have now that we have fibre, but we used to have four routers, each connected to its own 4G modem, and I bet that would have set off whatever OP triggered.

I can only speak to Netflix France, but it sounds like OP and I have similarly inconvenient-to-network rural architecture.

@HauntedOwlbear @rudi *looks over at 4G sticks*

oh, I could use some QoS to deliver a _really_ bad time.
