Spain began to suffer the consequences of expanding measures to prevent sharing of service accounts Netflix: location errors.

Various users of the country, one of the four countries to which these new conditions have been extended, with the exception of Peru, Chile and Costa Rica, note that Netflix does not find their device or does so over very long distances, thereby blocking their accounts or forcing them to overpay for an “extra member”.

Mistakes on Netflix

People have reported on social networks such as Twitter that the IP address location service does not find them correctly.

Curiously, the same users are reporting that they didn’t change their location or log in to different cities to cause this issue.

Why is this happening?

In accordance with confidential, IP-only location can be unreliable.

“The only one who knows the relationship between the IP address, the client address and its location is the carrier that assigns you the IP address,” he explains to Antoni Martínez Ballester, assistant professor of computer science at the Open University of Catalonia (UOC). “Therefore, this can be found in Telefónica, Orange or Vodafone. But they cannot consult him. Netflix”.

For companies to enjoy Netflix In order to obtain the location of users in this way, they resort to databases of private companies, but not all of them are accurate.

“The operator can report that all of his addresses are in Barcelona, ​​despite the fact that he provides services in remote rural areas. When they check the information, the general answer is that they are in Barcelona,” he adds.

While in Peru this is 8 sols for each additional member, Spain It’s 6 euros per month per person.
