Hey,

I'm not exactly sure if this post is even belonging here but why not just give it a try?

As you probably know Netflix went from "love is sharing a password" to "want to share passwords? fuck you! pay us extra!". Because I used the Netflix of a friend and that's no longer an option I'm looking for alternatives.

As much as I like the idea of having a small server or NAS here and just download whatever, that's currently not an option because it would simply be too expensive.

So before I quit my own Netflix account I used a Turkish VPN, entered my credit card data and payed about 6 Euro for 4k Netflix. The problem when I try to go the same route right now is a) For some reason even though I have a Turkish IP, the site still uses US $ and b) You seem to need a Turkish phone number to verify that you're indeed Turkish

Do you know a way around this?

I don’t think it’s worth it anymore and it’s not really piracy but for the sake of information the way I got past that phone number thing for Netflix is you need to pay for 1 month in your own country and have your card saved. You can pay for Standard then switch to UltraHD so it runs out faster. Then once the month is up you can use a VPN (I guess you need to either use one with better region bypassing or try in Incognito) to change to Turkey and pay with a turkish gift card, then the next month it will autopay with your saved card. Also for like the first 3 weeks you will need to be on a Turkish VPN to use it, after a while you can use it worldwide.
