ANSWERED [Chromecast] dd-wrt // geo-blocking still happening but only on some devices

Recommended Posts

Hello,

So I have a router with ww-drt that is connected to the vpn.

I have two devices connected to that network.
1. desktop

2. chromecast

When going to http://pluzz.francetv.fr
1. desktop can stream content.
2. chromecast is still geo-blocked, the video service warns about the vpn server location not being in fr. (ca,be,ch are those I have tried, airvpn does not have an fr server)

Can't understand why one device on the same network would work and not the other.

Thanks for any help.

Chromecast has hard-coded Google DNS (8.8.8.8,8.8.4.4) so you need to "hijack" those requests and forward them to the VPN DNS.

In the DNSMasq options, enter the text strict-order, and in the firewall configuration you should enter something like:

iptables -I FORWARD --destination 8.8.8.8 -j REJECT
iptables -I FORWARD --destination 8.8.4.4 -j REJECT

iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i br0 -p udp --dport 53 -j DNAT --to $(nvram get lan_ipaddr)
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i br0 -p tcp --dport 53 -j DNAT --to $(nvram get lan_ipaddr)
