MANY CONNECTIONS, HELP

You can't as the sub will auto block if 2 devices try and connect and only one connection has been paid for.

Sorry meant if you are allowed 2 connections in more than one location. that is why the restrictions are in place to stop users selling on their details to mates

In same location shouldn't be a issue tbh 🤔

OP have you read ? Bought 1 sub not be watched simultaneously but on two different devices either upstairs at night downstairs at daytime , I'm getting mixed messages it's maybe 60/40 in favour of it being ok .

If the buy two separate subs from the same supplier you should be able to use in any location you like and not tied to one public IP address.

2 subs no problem I was talking about an extra connection (so 1 sub with 2 connections)

If your supplier does not let you use your one sub on separate devices in the same location, then I would change suppliers as they are being unreasonable imo.

yes I agree, although they both must be on the same IP address (cant have one connected to a vpn and the other not)

What is the difference between 2 separate subs same supplier and 1 sub extra connection or is that your version of multi room?

That's my point there both in same place on same ISP provider

What about vpn static ip address so they will have the same ip address?

Obviously not all providers work the same way but to simplify things some ask you to always use the extra connection on the same IP address.
They will generally only be looking for multiroom abuse whilst both connections are in use, so if they are and have different IP address the provider will presume you are up to no good

Any decent server will only allow one 1 ip connection anyway its stops people abusing and taking the piss.

incorrect, 1 connection will be allowed to roam in most cases

Look like we haven’t been using decent servers lol

lol
at the end of the day most providers will sell extra connections to be used as multiroom. They will then leave them selves open to customers selling the extra connection for a profit.
You cant blame providers for trying to restrict this from happening so what Moshibeth said is true but rare, its a crude way of restricting customers tho
most find a fairer way ie only restricting the IP if an extra connection is purchased

Yes definitely a crude way of treating users and I haven’t had to deal with thankfully.
You should have the option to be able to use a VPN for privacy also.
Also, what would happen if your dynamic IP address changed for some reason? Which it can.
Would the supplier block you?
If you have paid for one sub then you can’t use on another device and if you try it may cause bad buffering or it might get blocked.
You can use a vpn it’s up to you really if your supplier has said there is no need for it it doesn’t matter, I had few and they said no to VPN and I connected and nothing happened.
