hey yeah if you could that would be great, I'd prefer to go the script way then changing the DNS on the router.

I have tested the simple setup using merlin's latest build where you assign the unlocator/ibdns dns into the custom dns page in parental control section. Assign this custom dns to the Chromecast and will work flawlessly

UnoTelly

Great article post. The DNS option is better than using a VPN regarding content streaming because you can achieve direct connection with the media station ex. Netflix and avoid the “middle-man”. Personally, I am using UnoTelly which is similar to Unblock-us (or other DNS service). Perhaps you should check UnoTelly as well if you haven’t done so.

Hey snake plisken, since the first post I've managed to make the chromecasts work with unlocator and ac66u (firmware 374.40), as per RMerlin suggestions:

- Parental Control -> DNS Filtering: Enable DNS-Filtering (On), Global filter mode (Router), Custom (User defined) DNS 1: 8.8.8.8 and Custom (User defined) DNS 2: 8.8.4.4. I've also added in the client list the two chromecasts I have based on their MAC Address; Filter mode - Router.
- Of course, you also need to have the correct Unlocator DNS set in WAN -> Internet Connection -> WAN DNS Setting.

It works, but I think I have other problems with the router, my connection drops often on all devices (not just chromecasts), I'm trying right now to see what the culprit is.

Let me know if it works for you!

Works for me. Thank you!
