One of my favorite features in the S7 is its ability to share WiFi (i.e. act as a WiFi extender / repeater). Since I travel a lot I like to connect my Chromecast in hotel rooms. However since hotel WiFi's need you to login, I wouldn't be able to connect my Chromecast to the internet. S7 solves the problem very elegantly.

Now the problem is that I need to connect to some media that is location specific (Hotstar / Netflix content). I use a VPN (tunnelbear) to access that content on my phone / laptop. However, if I share my S7 WiFi with the VPN on, the Chromecast does not connect to it?

What could be the problem and is there a way around it without rooting my phone?
