Do you have a 3rd party VPN installed, even if you are not using it? If so, delete the VPN profile in Settings/General/VPN & Device Management/VPN. Don't just turn it off; delete the profile. If that fixes it, you can try reinstalling VPN. However, VPN actually reduces your privacy, it does not enhance it.

Yes, found a report from todays Hindustan Times confirming that there are problems owing to ‘out of date security certificates’. Unlikely to be sorted by Google apparently as they have stopped supporting these earlier Chromecast devices.

Google is having issues with their chromecast devices currently.

not sure if it has anything to do with your issue.

Best advice, contact Google
