VPN To my GFs house

[Djinnux]

I want to set up a VPN to my girfriends house so we can share streaming services.  Anyone have some good ideas on how to make this work?

I have a couple Rasberry Pis that I could use...  But I do want to hook up to her house pi to pi or whatever.. 

 

Or can I make a FireStick or something hook up to my specific vpn?

Not sure why you want to go this route.

 

Why not just make her an account (or vice versa) on your streaming service accounts so she can share the service?

 

Even the basic packages let you have at least two simultaneous streams.

 

If you were to share local media, then just get Plex.

Generally you just share a password. At least thats how it works on Amazon, Hulu and Netflix.

I think some more information might be needed to answer this.

 

Can you tell us what specific streaming services you want to share?

 

What devices will she be watching these services on?

YouTube TV and probably amazon fire sticks

Well if we can go the shared password route that would be great im just not sure if they keep seeing streams coming from 2 different IP addresses if that wont end up triggering some safeguards they have to prevent people from doing things like this.  But if Hulu doesn't do it I will try that too..

Yeah you can literally share the password. 

 

YouTube TV specificallly allows up to three simultaneous streams:

YouTube Premium in general limits you to one stream but only if it’s categorized as music.

 

I can’t find any other limits on YouTube premium so there might be one but it should

be higher than 3, at least.
