Are you having problems using your chromecast and a service such as unblock us? Where you are able to stream some movies on Netflix, but others you get the dreaded 'that title is not available right now' message?

There is an easy way to fix it.

On the chromecasts, there is no way to alter the DNS settings, they must go through googles servers in order for the chromecast to work properly.

There is a way, however, to map the google DNS to the unblock us (or any other VPN service) DNS numbers, but you have to do it in the router.

See here for more info:

I am heading out, so I dont have time to get into it, but basically, you have to add a static route for the google servers to the unblock us (or whoever) ones at the router startup.

It looks complicated, but it really isnt. Dont forget to reboot your router after you have made those changes though...

If you need more info, just google 'chromecast unblock us' and you should get lots of info, or post questions here in this thread so others can see and help out.
