How to Circumvent the Netflix Password Sharing Ban: A Comprehensive Guide
In recent news, Netflix has implemented a password sharing ban, limiting account access only to individuals within the same household. This change has caused quite a stir among users, who are now faced with the decision of either paying an additional fee for sharing accounts or finding alternative ways to bypass the restriction. In this comprehensive guide, we will explore the reasons behind Netflix’s password sharing ban, delve into the methods Netflix uses to enforce the ban, and provide effective solutions for circumventing the restriction.
Understanding Netflix’s Password Sharing Ban
Netflix’s motivation behind implementing the password sharing ban is clear – to increase revenue by ensuring that each user pays for their own account. By restricting account sharing to individuals within the same household, Netflix aims to prevent multiple users from enjoying the service without contributing financially. This change in policy has been gradually rolled out globally, affecting over 100 countries, including the US, Canada, the UK, and many more.
Enforcing the Password Sharing Ban
To enforce the password sharing ban, Netflix relies on a concept called the “Netflix Household.” A household is defined as a collection of devices connected to the internet at the primary location where Netflix is accessed. The main TV used to watch Netflix, along with all devices connected to the same internet connection, are considered part of the household. Netflix uses a combination of IP addresses, device IDs, and account activity to determine whether a device is streaming content within the same household or outside of it.
The Impact of the Password Sharing Ban
The password sharing ban has left many users frustrated, especially those who have been sharing accounts with family members or friends who do not reside in the same physical household. Divorced parents, students living away from home, and families with caretakers in different locations are just a few examples of those negatively impacted by this policy change. However, there are ways to overcome this restriction and continue enjoying Netflix without paying an additional fee.
Circumventing the Password Sharing Ban
A Virtual Private Network (VPN) is an essential tool for bypassing the Netflix password sharing ban. A VPN creates a secure connection between your device and the internet, encrypting your data and masking your IP address. By subscribing to a VPN service, such as VanishedVPN, you can access Netflix from anywhere in the world, regardless of your physical location. VanishedVPN uses a single IP address for each VPN location, so if you connect all of your family and friends via our VPN, it will trick Netflix into thinking you’re in the same location (even if you aren’t)
Here’s how…..
- Sign up for a VanishedVPN subscription if you don’t already have one (we have a 7 day money back guarantee) & configure your device using our setup guides.
- Connect to our USA, UK or Australia VPN
- Sign in to Netflix on your device as normal
We are not the only VPN to offer this Service, but unlike the others, our solution has been solid for the past 3 years (where others are often blocked and unavailable for weeks or months). We’ve also been recommended by lifehacker because of this.
Using a VPN is completely legal. It is not going to get you in trouble with authorities.
The Future of Netflix Account Sharing
Netflix’s password sharing ban has certainly caused a wave of discontent among its users. However, it remains to be seen how effective this ban will be in the long term. As technology continues to advance, users may find new ways to circumvent restrictions and share accounts without paying additional fees. Until then, users can explore the options outlined in this guide to continue enjoying Netflix without breaking the bank.
In conclusion, while Netflix’s password sharing ban may have initially seemed like a significant obstacle, there are effective ways to bypass the restriction and continue enjoying the service. By utilising a VPN , users can maintain access to Netflix from anywhere in the world, regardless of their physical location. As technology evolves, it is likely that new methods will emerge to counteract restrictions, ensuring that users can continue sharing accounts with friends and family.

How to Watch Paramount Plus
What is Paramount Plus
Paramount Plus is the latest streaming service to launch in the USA. The service – a rebranded version of what was CBS All Access – launched on 4th March 2021 in the US. Its biggest draw? Over 30,000 on-demand TV shows from CBS, MTV, BET, Nickelodeon and Comedy Central, along with live sports coverage and 24-hour rolling news.
Paramount Plus – or Paramount+, as it’s officially called – will also tempt viewers with a host of original shows, including new episodes of 90s sitcom Fraiser. Subscribers can even watch selected Paramount releases – including the Mission: Impossible 7 – within 45 days of their theatrical release.
With plans starting at $5.99 a month (or $59.99 for a year), it looks like pretty good value.
How to watch Paramount Plus from anywhere in the world
At the time of writing Paramount Plus is only available in the USA. It is expected to launch in Australia mid 2021, with no release date for Europe currently. As with most USA based streaming services, normally, you will be blocked if you try and access the Service outside of the USA, but by connecting to the Vanished VPN USA servers, you can bypass the blocks and access all of the content.
Here’s how
- Get a Vanished VPN subscription if you don’t already have one, and setup your device.
- Connect to the USA VPN.
- Go to Paramount Plus and sign up using a USA address from this site
- Enjoy all the great content
For the best experience, we highly recommend the Invizbox 2. This device makes it easy to get any unblocked content (such as Paramount Plus or USA Netflix streams) onto your big screen, and also provides protection for you and your family when you’re online.

Did you know that the amount of content that you get in your Netflix catalogue varies depending on the country that you’re in? For example, USA Netflix has 3 X more content than Australian Netflix, and 2 x more content than the UK catalogue.
In addition to this, Netflix has a nasty habit of releasing the latest blockbusters to the USA catalogue months before other catalogues around the globe. To illustrate this, just look at this table comparing Netflix catalogues in different countries:
USA Netflix | Aus Netflix | |
Launch Date | April, 1998 | March, 2015 |

How to access USA Netflix from Outside the U.S.
Vanished VPN allows you to fool Netflix into thinking that you are in the USA, and this enables you to access all the additional films & TV programs in the USA catalogue. Simply follow these instructions:
- Sign up for a VanishedVPN subscription if you don’t already have one (we have a 7 day money back guarantee) & configure your device using our setup guides.
- Connect to our USA VPN
- Sign in to Netflix on your device as normal, and enjoy up to 3x more content.
We are not the only VPN to offer this Service, but unlike the others, our solution has been solid for the past 3 years (where others are often blocked and unavailable for weeks or months). We’ve also been recommended by lifehacker because of this.
Using a VPN is completely legal. It is not going to get you in trouble with authorities.
If you want to make your life super easy, why not purchase one of our preconfigured Invizbox mini routers. Just plug this box into your modem / router, and connect devices like Smart TV, PS4 ATV etc, and they will automatically run over the VPN, and be able to access up to 3 x more Netflix content.
Netflix guarantee
We guarantee that you will be able to access the USA Netflix catalogue. If our servers are blocked, and we are unable to restore service within a week, we will refund your last months payment. We are the only VPN provider in the world to offer this guarantee.

How much does NBCUniversal Peacock cost?
It costs less than a penny, the price of a coffee, or the price of a sandwich. You decide.
NBCUniversal’s Peacock streaming service gives you the choice of three plans:
Peacock Free is, uh, free.
Peacock Premium has two different plans: $4.99 per month or $9.99 per month. You just have to decide how inconvenient commercial breaks are to your bingeing marathons.How much is NBCU Peacock?
Plan | Monthly price | What you get | Details |
Peacock Free | Free | 7,500 hours of programming, current season series, movies, TV classics, next-day access of current shows | Visit Peacock TV |
Peacock Premium (with ads) | $4.99/mo. | 10,000 hours of programming, live news and sports, early access to late-night shows | Visit Peacock TV |
Peacock Premium (no ads) | $9.99/mo. | 10,000 hours of programming, live news and sports, early access to late-night shows | Visit Peacock TV |
Does NBCUniversal Peacock have a contract or fees?
NBCU Peacock doesn’t have a contract or any extra fees. So feel free to cancel whenever you’d like, and never be surprised with a random fee charge on your card.
What is NBCUniversal Peacock?
Peacock is a streaming service similar to both Netflix and Hulu. Peacock has old shows and movies, as well as next-day access to shows that broadcasted the night before.
The list of shows is quite exciting, so here’s what you can expect to watch on the weekends or after a long workday:
- The Office (in January 2021 when it leaves Netflix)
- Battlestar Galactica
- Saved by the Bell
- Parks and Recreation
- Brooklyn Nine-Nine
- Monk
- Saturday Night Live
- This is Us
- The Masked Singer
- America’s Got Talent
- The Last Voice
- 30 Rock
- Friday Night Lights
- Murder, She Wrote
- Will and Grace
- Law & Order
- Keeping Up with the Kardashians
- Top Chef
If you’re a huge fan of The Office, you’re going to want Peacock by January 2021. At that point, the show will become a Peacock exclusive, and you won’t be able to find Michael Scott anywhere else.
If you’re more of a movie person, you’ll get the choice of 600 films to watch with the family on Saturday night.
Those movies include the following:
- The Harry Potter movies
- Jaws
- Jurassic Park
- The Bourne movies
- Despicable Me movies
- E.T.
- The Fast & Furious series
- Bridesmaids
- Knocked Up
- Back to the Future
- Casino
- Billy Elliot
- Shrek
Peacock has a new approach to live TV channels with their “virtual channels.” You’ll get to create personalized channels to make it easier for you to find something to watch.
Some custom channels will include the following:
- Live events
- Trending feed
- Indie movies
- True crime dramas
- Comedies
- Cycle through Saturday Night Live episodes
- Cycle through Law & Order episodes
- Or any other genre of films you enjoy
But Peacock intends to give you a traditional cable feel. With those channels combined with advertisements, NBCU hopes it makes you realize linear TV is a great option for your home. Maybe it will convince you to subscribe to a cable TV service.
But how can we justify paying another monthly bill if we get this service for free? *Shrugs shoulders.*
What is NBCUniversal Peacock Free?
If you decide to go for the free service, you’ll get 7,500 hours of programming, including next-day access to current seasons of NBC shows like This is Us and The Voice.
No need to worry about seeing spoilers on social media. Just watch the lives of Mandy Moore and the triplets the following morning, and you won’t need to worry about FOMO.
With Peacock Free, you can also watch Universal Pictures movies (like Evan Almighty), Saturday Night Live, NBC’s daily news content, and select episodes of the app’s exclusive content (like the new season of AP Bio).
All nine seasons of The Office will move to Peacock from Netflix in January 2021. You can get your Jim and Pam fix every day (now, who doesn’t want that?).
What is NBCUniversal Peacock Premium?
Peacock Premium can be either $4.99 or $9.99. You’ll get the same amount of content with both, but the extra $5 will eliminate all ads during your bingeing marathons.
You’ll get 10,000 hours of on-demand content with access to the full library of Peacock series and movie exclusives.
Peacock feeds news junkies and sports fanatics with NBC’s live news and sports. You’ll also get early access to late-night shows like The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon and Late Night with Seth Meyers.
Recap: Will NBCUniversal Peacock be worth it?
Well, if you like free shows, movies, and entertainment, then yes, it’s worth it
Who can say no to a free streaming service that gives you hours of much-loved NBC shows?
With each plan, you’ll get the following content:
- Peacock Free: You get 7,500 hours of programming, current season series, movies, TV classics, and next-day access of current shows for free (oh, did we mention it’s free?).
- Peacock Premium: Pay $5 or $10 to get 10,000 hours of NBC programming, live news and sports, and early access to late-night shows. Pay that $10 if you want no commercials, because no one likes to be interrupted in the middle of a great scene of This is Us.
Remember, NBCU Peacock will be the only streaming service where you’ll be able to find The Office starting in January 2021. And if Ron Swanson is your spirit animal, you’ll want Peacock because this is the only place you’ll find Parks and Recreation starting in October 2020.
On top of that, enjoy classic movies, old TV shows, and next-day access to new TV shows on NBCU Peacock’s streaming service.
How to watch US Open Tennis 2020
The US Open returns on the 31st August, being only the 2nd Grand Slam tournament of 2020 following the cancellation of Wimbledon & The French Open.
Although this tournament will be played in front of empty seats because of the Covid crisis, you can still catch all the action online wherever you are in the world by using Vanished VPN to bypass location blocks.
The action will be streamed to ESPN in the US. There’s a few options for accessing the streams. ESPN+ is $5.99 per month, which is great value. ESPN streams are also available on Sling (from $30 per month) & Fubo ($60 per month). Both of these have free trials.
How to watch
- Get a Vanished VPN subscription if you don’t already have one
- Connect to our USA VPN
- Go to ESPN+ & sign up
- Go to ESPN.com/watch/espnplus & enjoy the tennis (we recommend using a chrome browser with an incognito window).
If you prefer Fubo.tv or Sling.tv, just connect to our USA VPN, and visit the relevant site and sign up for the free trial.
From what we can see, there may also be free streams available from the official US Open Site. We will confirm this once the tournament starts, but it might be worth checking here too.
