Wanna go halvsies on a seedbox? I'll send you an(other!) email if so, haha

Hmm, interesting proposal, though I think I'll pass for now because I have a NAS and a good connection at home, I think I'll use that for now.

Did you already send me an email? Did I reply?

Not about this topic!
This works with VPN's as well: I thought about finding 5 people to split a VPN sub with, because I only would ever use one device at a time. That brings it down to ~$1.19/mo which is a great deal.

problem is coordinating that with everyone lol, probably best for each person to pay $15 up front to one person to essentially prepay for a year.

Netflix is quite good at detecting VPNs.
I'm referring to sharing a similar service to a seedbox, which is what OP was referring to. You don't really need a VPN for netflix anyway, unless you want a different country's library.
