How to set up a VPN on a Smart TV or Fire TV Stick
Want a VPN on your TV? There are two easy routes, depending on whether your TV can run apps.
A video walkthrough for this guide is coming soon.
- Option A — native app. On Android TV or a Fire TV Stick, install the VPN app directly from the app store, then log in.
- Option B — via your router. If your TV has no VPN app, put the VPN on your router instead.
- Sign in and connect. Open the app, log in, choose a country, and connect.
- Open your streaming app. Launch your streaming service as normal.
