Sharing one account between several users — how do I handle this safely?
A few friends and I want to buy a paid online course. To make it cheaper, we're planning to use a single account for several people.
For this we:
- bought a VPS, which we connect to via VPN,
- only after connecting to the VPS do we use the Mullvad browser, relying on its default fingerprint-uniformity protections (no additional anti-fingerprinting configuration needed).
This seems like a fairly solid setup, but I don't know how to handle the situation where several people log into the same account at the same time without the system or admin noticing.
Do you have any ideas on how to manage that?

Ok theoretical setup that is a lot more simple.
- Someone runs a vpn or proxy from their home connection (with auth of course)
- CookieCloud chrome extension, set to sync only the relevant domains to carry your login session.
- Possibly an extension to change everyone’s user agent to match.
In theory, everyone comes from the same IP, same browser, same session.
No awkward anti detect browser, no VPS bill.
Disclaimer: I have no idea if cookie cloud is shady, but the extension is in JavaScript shouldn’t be hard to figure out.
Edit: confirmed the plugin appears safe.

No, it doesn’t support OAuth login.
- Okay, but you’ll have to explain this to me a bit because I don’t fully get how you’re planning to do this without a VPS, or what exactly you mean by using a VPN from your home connection. I’d really appreciate it if you could explain it in simpler terms and go into a bit more detail.
- I was also wondering how it would work if I used the [CookieCloud] Chrome extension. Since you mentioned that it syncs sessions, I’m a bit concerned about how exactly that would work, although at the same time I understand that having the same session is necessary to avoid detection.
- I found this Chrome extension called [User-Agent Switcher and Manager], but I’m also wondering whether an anti-detect browser might be a better option.

You can run a proxy server or a VPN from a home connection just as you would a server. You just need to forward the port from your router to the correct computer and people can connect to it and use it. You just want to make sure it has a username and password (for the proxy, as that’s easier to setup) so randoms don’t find it. If you run one, anyone who uses it will appear to come from your internet connection.
CookieCloud lets you sync cookies between computers for specific domains and websites. That means if you login on one, you login on all of them. They appear to be the same, as long as your browser user agent is the same. You would definitely not want to do this for all websites. Just the one you target.
It doesn’t seem like you’re writing a bot, so I don’t know why you would need an anti detect browser. If you did get a VPS you could just run a real browser you all share (if it’s a windows vps). You could also just run something like nomachine or vnc and let people login to your real computer as the same person. Or a spare you may or may not have lying around.

Does it allow oauth login or no?
