On Real Debrid + VPNs (links.hackliberty.org)

Hello,

I set up Stremio + Real Debrid for my girlfriend and we have been really enjoying it.

Since we use different VPNs at the moment, I had the idea to create a VM with stremio and a connection to the same server she's connected to.

The idea being we could use the debrid account simultaneously and have the same IP.

I quickly realized that the last digit of our client IPs were 0-3 digits off from each other, IE:

185.243.218.89 vs 185.243.218.90

Upon seeing this I stopped and checked the debrid account/email to check for a warning and saw nothing.

Question 1: Is this safe/acceptable, or is this considered breach of debrid TOS?

Question 2: Would configuring a VPN on our router solve this issue? Or would it be the same situation?

I'm a bit of a networking idiot as you can see but I'm on a journey to learn.

Thanks in advance

I gave a mate my username/password and immediately got blocked on Debrid when he used it...

hmm strange. If you log into your debrid account and go to /downloads it shows you the history and IP of all connections. You can look and see if he gave it to someone else, or connected from 2 devices at once etc.

It was one of them 1 week ban and all API tokens revoked things. I just told him to get his hand in his pocket
