The #1 reason for using a VPN for Chromecast

Chromecast with Google TV is a very handy gadget made by Google that lets non-Smart TV owners stream Netflix, YouTube, and any other content they wish.

However, streaming apps come with geo-restrictions – nothing new here. So, if you’re not living in the US, you won’t be able to access Netflix’s US content library. That’s the main benefit of using a Chromecast VPN.

If you know the country where the content you want to access is available, a VPN gives you the option to virtually teleport there by replacing your real IP address with one that matches the location where you want to appear from.

How to cast with Chromecast behind a VPN connection

Option 1 – Configure your VPN router

By choosing this option, all your internet-connected gadgets, and not just your Chromecast dongle, will enjoy all the VPN benefits as long as they’re linked to the same router.

Be advised - the process can seem a bit overwhelming, especially for beginners. Fear not, though, as we’ve prepared a step-by-step guide on how to configure your router to help you through the process.

One last thing to consider before starting the process is to make sure your router is VPN-compatible. You can do that by checking the VPN manual or by doing a quick Google search.

Option 2 – Get a pre-flashed VPN router

If your router does not support a VPN connection or simply doesn't want to go through the hustle and bustle of configuring your own VPN router, you can simply purchase one that comes with CyberGhost already installed.

Option 3 – Use a virtual router

Don’t own a router? No problem. You can still make your Chromecast VPN work by sharing a CyberGhost VPN connection from your Mac or PC. You still get all the benefits of using a virtual private network with no extra equipment needed. You will need to keep your computer on for the entire time you’ll be using your Chromecast dongle, though.

Windows users can find a detailed guide on how to do that here. Mac users, follow this link, please.

Option 4 - Wireless screen mirroring

The fourth and final way to enjoy the benefits of a VPN connection when using a Chromecast implies mirroring the image from your Android or iOS phone or from your computer directly to your TV. To make this work, you’ll need a TV that allows screen mirroring and a smartphone or a computer with the CyberGhost VPN app installed.

How does a VPN work?

VPN stands for virtual private network. Think of this software as an intermediate between your device and the internet. Instead of sending your requests directly to the websites you’re trying to reach, you first send them to the VPN provider. From here, your data gets encrypted and redirected towards the website you wanted to access in the first place. The benefits are plenty:

your entire online activity is kept hidden
You can find amazing online shopping discounts
Your banking transactions are 100% secured
You can torrent anonymously
ISP throttling becomes a distant memory
accessing previously restricted websites suddenly becomes possible
you’re protected against hackers and cybercriminals when connected to public Wi-Fi networks

Can you use Chromecast with a VPN?
