Greetings

So i have finally discovered the joys of using a vpn (Getflix) to access streaming services, I can view them on my phone, but when I try casting it from the phone to my 1st gen firestick it comes up with a message on my phone about my VPN preventing it casting?, 

The firestick is set up to whatever it defaults to NZ settings

does this sound right?

I tried googling but no-one else seems to be getting this, so i am guessing i am missing something really obvious

I will get the exact message later tonight, somehow i deleted my screenshots I had of it, but as a bonus managed to take some up nose selfies, 

Please note I sort of understand some basic VPN stuff, but a lot of it is a bit over me

so forgive the following dumb questions

If I buy one of those budget Android TV boxes on trademe, would i have to create a separate google account for setting it up that is based in eg Australia?
