This used to work but this weekend I noticed it was no longer working.

I subscribe to a streaming service outside my country, it's in south america. I used to turn on the VPN on my desktop (EndeavourOS), connect to a country in south america, do the same on the TV and I'd Chromecast the video. No problems, excelent quality, worked great.

This no longer works. When the TV is connected to ProtonVPN, it doesn't show in chromecast devices list. As soon as I disconnect it, it shows up.

Things I tried:

  • Updating the ProtonVPN app on both TV and desktop
  • Updating the TV firmware
  • Changed from Wireguard to OpenVPN
  • Enabled split tunneling on the TV and whitelisted chromecast
  • Connecting to the exact same server
  • Several countries
  • My android phone can find the TV but nothing happens when I select it
  • Toggled settings such as Moderate NAT, IPV6 and Port forwarding, nothing works.

Chromecasting works fine if I disconnect the VPN on the TV but I can't watch the streaming service. Any ideas? Thanks.
