netflix is not supported it my country,so i need to use a US VPN to watch it,and the chromecast doesn't work properly with VPN's since google's DNS is hardwired into the system,

and i can't get past this DNS issue because my router doesn't allow for advances options.

so yeah...

So it's not a problem specifically with the Chromecast. There's no guarantee that the Mozilla solution would do any better.
