I use chromecast as well but the problem is as you say the fact that you start the service Netflix on your VPN device and then cast it over means Netflix won ' t let you unless you turn the VPN off . The Amazon fire stick runs Netflix and the rest on the stick with no external input other than the remote it comes with so it completely avoids the VPN on my devices . I have both so I haven ' t had to fiddle with the Chromecast problem , but I also use PIA as a VPN on my phone and I know thatnit let ' s you whitelist entire apps such as Netflix . Maybe look for VPNs with that option rather than specifically needing the IP addresses . <| sep |> So many red flags . <| sep |> So you don ' t know but you are ok with ban ?
