We know that. But the beauty of GoogleCast is to be hands-off.

Obviously but as you said it’s unlikely to work unless the Chromecast is set up to use the same VPN tunnel to a UK based exit node.

Error (not authorised; banned ip address)

Yeah… VPN servers IP ranges are kniwn and can be rejected.

Better news for BBC Sounds though. If I choose Frankfurt as a location I get a message about Sounds closing down for international listeners but if I choose a London location that message disappears and I can play music.

Right. I did that, picked a London server and the Sounds banner went away. The question is for how long? When will BBC blacklist Windscribe?

Not a new VPN and not happened yet, all streaming I've tried works..

Edit.. anyway I was only repling to @Burnside basically saying not all VPN's are equal

You don't get many location choices in the free version

Nope can you blame them? I'm guessing most VPN's are similar, incentive to sign up..
