Oki nu börjar det att klarna en del varför inte Shielden eller CC Ultran kan streama US Netflix i Sverige.
Detta hittade jag på en sida:

The problem is, is that the regular Android Netflix app since v 3.7.2 (and Chromecast) started forcing the use of Google DNS 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 (hardcoded in its app) regardless of what you set in network config. At least with the Chromecast you could defeat it by putting a static route for 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 to go to nowehere so it would then fallback to your DNS settings. However with the netflix app you had to use a VPN or some iptables rules in a DDWRT/Tomato router to fool it as it would error out if it coudln't reach google DNS rather than fallback to your settings.

Svaret jag fick från set.usa-ip-address.com var:

You are absolutely right. That's why you don't have to use VPN at all once you change DNS on your router.
...and you will definitely need to make those corrections in your router's iptables:
https://set.usa-ip-address.com/#tv (see Chromecast section)
Using OpenVPN alongside with DNS will result in DNS error since our DNS server will not allow the connection from the IP address which OpenVPN assigns you once it's connected.

På deras hemsida rekomenderar dom detta för Chromecasten och det borde även gälla för Shielden:

You can not change your Chromecast DNS settings, please edit DNS records on your router instead.
Although router’s interfaces vary, generally your steps are:
1. Using any internet browser, enter your router’s admin panel IP address (usually 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1) and log in to your router’s admin panel. Common username is admin and common password is admin as well. Again, take a look on your router’s bottom panel for IP address, username and password.
2. Go to DNS Settings of your router and enter 199.36.121.2 as Primary DNS, then click Save. You may need to consult your manual on how to change your router’s DNS Settings.
3. Go to DNSMasq Options (see your router’s manual on how to change DNSMasq options) and enter strict-order into the text box and click Apply Settings.
4. Go to Commands section of your router (see your router’s manual on how to input commands).
5. Input the following two commands and press Enter after each one:
iptables -I FORWARD –destination 8.8.8.8 -j REJECT
iptables -I FORWARD –destination 8.8.4.4 -j REJECT
6. Click on Save Firewall, then Save Startup.
7. Reboot your router.
8. Restart Chromecast and enjoy US IP address assigned to your device!
NOTE: Select Obtain DNS servers automatically on the router when will you need to restore your original DNS settings again in future. To restore your original iptables please input the following two commands:
iptables -D FORWARD –destination 8.8.8.8 -j REJECT
iptables -D FORWARD –destination 8.8.4.4 -j REJECT

Nu har jag ju en Asus RT-AC3200 så då är frågan om jag skall flasha om den med en Merlin fw så jag kommer åt DNS Masq som jag inte finner i Asus orginal fw?
Är det någon annan som har flashat om sin Asus med deras omarbetatade fw?
Jag kommer inte att ge mig innan jag är klar:-)!!!
