One Plus 7t Pro - trying to cast to Chromecast with VPM and failing....

[nickbeachy23]

Hi all,

I have an issue in that I'm trying to cast from my android mobile to my Chromecast. It won't let me though as I have a VPM on my mobile phone.

I have searched the net and read that I need to buy a VPM router to plug into the back of my existing router and then link Chromecast to that. Before I spend all that money and spend time doing that I wondered what every one thought to that idea?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Nick

Hi, welcome to AC!

Try to configure the VPN, if you choose a country that maybe don't support chromecast might not work so try different one if it doesn't automatically choose for you .

Bypass the VPN to cast, then re-enable it for other things. (Chromecast has to be on the same LAN as the phone, but when you're on a VPN, you're not on your LAN. If the VPN is working properly, nothing you do when you're on the VPN will let you cast to Chromecast.)
