As of last month, Netflix introduced new rules which force users who borrow passwords from paid-up subscribers to get their own membership.
Meanwhile, those who share their login details with people outside their household are being asked to fork out an extra £4.99 per month or verify their devices.
But crafty Netflix users in the UK and US seem to have found a way around the rules, and are using VPNs to connect to the platform from countries which don't have the rules in place.

Apparently they're using NordVPN's Meshnet feature which lets up to 60 devices connect to one Wi-Fi network from a distance.
This allows them to trick the platform into thinking they're logged into Netflix at the account holder's household, rather than being hundreds or thousands of miles away.
While Netflix did not respond to a request for comment on people using VPNs to circumvent the new rules, the firm does add some major content restrictions for users on VPNs.
According to Netflix's website, users who connect to the platform on a VPN will only be able to view TV shows and movies that the firm owns 'worldwide'.
So, while you'll be able to watch Netflix Originals like Squid Game, Stranger Things, or movies like Don't Look Up, you'll lose access to all of the country-specific content available in the UK.
The firm said: "VPNs (virtual private networks) can make your device or network look like it's connecting to Netflix from somewhere other than your actual location.
"While using Netflix through a VPN, we will only show you TV shows and movies we own worldwide."
It's unclear whether these rules apply to the Meshnet tool or VPNs in general, so just be careful.
