US Netflix Chromecast DNS Issue topic

Hi all,

I live in the UK and am trying to get netflix to cast to my chromecast. I have a chromecast device connected to my TV and it works great. Apart from US Netflix.

I understand that I cannot cast US Netflix "as is" because of the chromecast's locked DNS addresses. I have read quite a few posts and have tried re-routing the DNS, here's what I've done so far...

Router: D-Link DIR-615 (latest firmware)

- Logged into my router and changed the DNS to an american one known to accept netflix traffic (works on my tablet).
- Gone to the "routing" part of my router settings and added the following rules...

Destination address: Subnet: Gateway:
8.8.8.8 255.255.255.255 192.168.1.1 (the IP of my router)
8.8.4.4 255.255.255.255 192.168.1.1 (the IP of my router)

I've rebooted everything but still no joy. I just cannot cast US netflix stuff to the device!

Is there anything I'm missing here or am doing wrong?
