Just a quick question, someone may be able to answer .

I'm using an Astrill VPN on my iPad to allow streaming of Hulu while I'm on holiday.

As a final step I've also brought along my Chromecast to cast from the iPad to a TV.

The iPad streams Hulu via my folks wifi when the VPN is enabled, but as soon as I attempt to cast to the Chromecast I get the whole Geoblocking notification on the TV screen.

From my initial investigation it appears this may be due to the Chromecast using the two Google DNS lookups via my folks WiFi - and not via my iPads VPN.
In this case routing the DNS via my parents router would not work as they are not using Unblock US or any similar service.

Is there any way I can directly cast to my Chromecast without it utilising my folks Wifi connection?
I suspect Google uses metadata for their analytics and they wouldn't allow an ad-hoc connection without connection to the Internet .... Am I correct in this assumption?


Cheers

Mark.
