    I haven’t experienced this. I have the Chromecast with Google TV dongle and use a DST Nat to redirect all traffic from 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 to my own DNS server.

    I also did this with my old Chromecast only from phone version

      Maybe I should have specifically mentioned that it’s the ultras.

      It’s a bit of niche arrangement, so finding out what happened when it suddenly stopped working was a challenge.

        Gross. Thanks for the sources. Strange that it’s just the ultras.
