I have a Chromecast TV 4K and have installed a VPN app I pay a monthly subscription for on my adult profile, which works great. I can install the VPN app on my child’s profile, but it will not connect. I believe this issue is related to the security restrictions of the child profile.
When I connect to the VPN using the app on the adult profile and then switch to the child profile to test the connection using a browser app and the VPN website to check, it shows that the connection is not protected. However, while playing a video stream, I see a message in the top right corner stating, “VPN is connected.”
Does this mean video streams on the child profile go through the VPN, as indicated by the message? I have contacted the VPN company about this multiple times, but they have not clarified it. I am struggling to find a way to verify whether the VPN is functioning on the child profile because the only time I see the “VPN is connected.” message is during video streaming; to check, I have to exit the video and switch to a browser.
I’ve tried using Wireshark to monitor the traffic, but when I search for the VPN IP that the adult profile is connected to, it doesn’t appear. The only IP listed is the local one for the Chromecast TV 4K. I’m not sure what to look for to confirm that the video stream is going through the VPN.
