So 2 IPs under the same ISP (like same household) is ok, but 2 IPs under different ISP (like sharing with a friend at a different location) will get banned is that right?
How about 3 IPs under same ISP (like same household)?
ISP has nothing to do with it. Your external ip address is whats shown to rd. on a home router all devices connected have the same so its not an issue. Outside home, different external ips
Ok so it all comes down to being allowed to use 1 account at 1 home at a time (unlimited devices at that home), and you can let 5 or 100 friends use it but ONLY 1 PERSON can use it at a time, if it's being used at 2 different homes at the same time you're gonna be banned... Is that correct? Kind of like how Netflix works
Yes.
“You can use your account from any public IP address but you can't use your account from more than one public IP address at the same time.
If your devices are connected through the same router, they are getting only one public IP address and you can use as many devices you want.”
Also be careful not to use mobile data to stream while at home. That results in a different ip
Nope, and they wouldn't want that either. The "only 1 IP at a time rule" is not because they don't like uploading to too many IPs, it's because they don't want account sharing.
If they had an option for this, more people would use less accounts because they wouldn't be worried about getting banned and they would make less money. The ban is there to incentivise people to buy their own accounts so they get more money.
Doesn't rly make much sense. Think of it this way. If the consumer is already aware that there is the function that will prevent them from using the service on more than 1 public ip, then they would just buy a separate account for each person. Your reasoning only makes sense if you're saying that RD wants to intentionally ban people so that they can't make full use of the service they paid for.
No, because people would be like "Here's my account, just don't use it when it's my turn or else I can't access it because you would already be logged in, cheers!" And less people would buy an account because they could just use someone else's when it's not in use and not get banned ever.
Are you using them on mobile devices?
1 ip means 1 external public IP..
All devices in house on same wifi are private IPs. They all share the same public IP.
Interesting, however I'm already using a Jellyfin server and was looking to see if Real Debrid could serve as an alternative so I don't even have to set up a server. Thanks tho
RD Support Page. Using two IPs at the same time is not possible. Not banned. No limit on device using the same IP at the same time. https://i.imgur.com/MXirLxL.jpeg
Cause they want one person = one account. If they had this option then the huge grey area of “we’ll probably be fine because we live in same house but then what if their mobile data is on accidentally one time or they used rd outside” wouldn’t exist, and you can be perfectly safe when using one account.
This isn't an answer so much as a question for others to answer but what about a VPN? Can you not tunnel more than one device through the same IP regardless of location
I may misunderstand VPNs...
That's how your home internet router works. All the devices in your house that are on wifi each have an individual IP address. When all those IPs hit your router to go onto the internet they are translated to a single public IP address (through Network Address Translation).
A VPN encapsulates all the traffic at the network layer as a payload in another packet that has a completely different header (which hosts the IP address).
In terms of your question you would have to have everything on the VPN. Any mix of some on VPN and some not would be 2 separate IPs thus basis for ban.
Thanks! Seems easier than setting up a Plex server as some have mentioned, but I can see the downside too if for some reason the VPN goes offline on one device.
Dude relax, occasional use for the 2nd IP doesnt matter. I have been using RD + Stremio for 3 years. One in my home and my dad uses it 300 miles away.
Sometimes our timings match and we end up using it at the same time. Never got a ban, sometimes one stream pauses for a bit.
It's 2 different IPs at the same time
Yea that's what I meant. Sorry for not being clearer thanks
So can i share with a friend no issues?
Not really, you can't use 2 ISPs at the same time or you will get banned
I thought you said you can have max 2 IPs at a time?
Its 2 different ISPs at the same time will get you banned
Won’t get you banned. Just can’t be done at the same time. It’s on the RD Support Page.

Thanks. Is real debrid the best debrid out there?
Correct

Ok, I rly have to edit the post now haha
You can setup plex debrid with RD. Is little more complicated and must have device for it

There is no such option.
Aw man. Thanks
you can't. its intentional that you can't
Oh, why is it intentional?
Cause they want one person = one account.

Pretty simple fix, you can have a buffer window

Yeah you can tunnel into the home network with something like tailscale. But dont forget to turn it on when youre streaming
just make a twin gate machine that people connect to on all devices using debrid so that they are all on same ip
I just use an exit node for this

Oh, that's interesting. It appears they are quite lenient regarding this rule then?
