How to use Chromecast with a VPN
Here are the ways to set up NordVPN on your Chromecast devices:
Connect your Google TV
Available on newer Chromecast with Google TV devices.
Use a physical VPN router
- See if your router is VPN compatible. Though some modern routers may require manual router configurations, most support VPN connections. If your router doesn’t, you can buy one that does.
- Set up a VPN connection on your home router.
- When setting up your Chromecast, select your VPN-protected network connection under Connect Chromecast to your Wi-Fi. If you already have it set up, simply connect to the VPN network.
Use a virtual VPN router
How to choose the best VPN service for Chromecast
Speed
Lag is the killer of streaming. When choosing a VPN provider, make sure to pay special attention to the speed of the service to enjoy streaming services to the fullest.
Servers
The world is a big place. Using a VPN with a large network of servers allows you to always rely on a stable and secure connection wherever you are in the world.
Convenience
Ease of use is everything these days. Look for VPN software with a comprehensive interface that is lightweight and can run on multiple devices simultaneously.
Frequently asked questions
Why can't I cast when using a VPN?
To use a VPN with Chromecast and cast, Chromecast needs to be on the same network as the device you’re casting from. If you’re trying to cast from your laptop connected to a VPN to your Wi-Fi-connected Chromecast, it won't work, because the laptop is on another (virtual) network.
The best way to work around this problem and have all your devices protected simultaneously is to install the VPN on your router. Then all your devices will be on the same network and able to communicate without any problems.
On top of that, if you’re using Windows or Android to cast, you can enable access to the local network in the settings of the app. This will allow other devices on the network to be accessed while being connected to the VPN.

Does Chromecast track what I cast?
According to Google’s privacy policy, it may collect system activity, crash reports, and usage data, including the apps and domains you cast. However, you can go to your Chromecast’s settings and delete this data or completely reset your device.
