A tip if you travel often is to set up a wireguard tunnel to a home computer. You just need port forwarding on your router enabled. Works better than any paid VPN service for watching your local netflix and it can't be detected.

I think this might be moot. "Everyone living in that household can use Netflix wherever they are — at home, on the go, on holiday ..."[0] suggests that they'll use some mechanism other than IP to determine that there is against-terms "password sharing" going on. Probably something like device sessions instead.

Probably just cooking sniffing and some sort of grace period if you're not on the same network for a while.
Here is another tip: Don’t pay for a service that makes you jump through hoops to access its content.
That leaves what streaming service, then?
