Netflix Adds “Extra Home” Fee, Which Blocks Usage Outside Your Home Unless You Pay

On August 22, Netflix will implement a new fee that requires customers to pay for "extra homes" in Argentina, the Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras.

The fee for each extra home is $2.99 a month in the Dominican Republic, El Salvador, and Guatemala.
"Beginning August 22, 2022, if your Netflix account is being used on a TV outside of your home, you will need to pay an extra $2.99 per month for each extra home. You will only be charged when you or someone who uses your account chooses to add an extra home—this fee will NOT be automatically charged."

Customers can watch Netflix on a TV outside their home for up to two weeks, before the TV will be blocked unless you add the extra home.

Netflix said it detects extra homes using "information such as IP addresses, device IDs, and account activity."

Netflix advises customers against using "VPN, proxy, or any unblocker service," which will send messages that say "too many homes are using your account."
Four months ago, Netflix implemented the "extra member" fee of $2-3 for users who share accounts with people they don't live with in Chile, Costa Rica, and Peru.
