How to Connect to a VPN on Your Android TV Device

Click the Keyhole Icon

Once you log in, you only need to click the PrivadoVPN logo in the center of the app window to connect to the fastest VPN server for your location.
Choose any of our super fast servers from the row at the bottom of your screen. Pick a VPN server from any of the countries and cities we have available. If you're a PrivadoVPN Free user, you'll be able to see which servers you would have access to with PrivadoVPN Premium. Once you make a selection, you'll automatically connect to the new VPN server and you can start streaming from there.
Now that you are connected to the PrivadoVPN network, open up your favorite streaming app and watch anything you like. Your Android VPN app will encrypt all of your data so third parties can't track what you're streaming.

Why PrivadoVPN has the Best VPN Apps to Protect Your Privacy

Hide Your Online Identity

Hide Your Online Identity

The easiest way to hide your identity on the Internet is by changing your IP address, which is exactly what happens when you are connected to PrivadoVPN's servers. This is one of the most important features for secure streaming because it keeps people from knowing your location, your ISP, or even that you're using an Android TV device. It's the ultimate Internet privacy tool.
Unblock Censored Pages and Services

Unblock Censored Pages and Services

PrivadoVPN has the ability to help you unblock smart TV optimized Internet services that have been censored by specific networks, including offices and schools. You can use the full power of your connection by streaming through our global VPN servers. Just because you have to use a particular network doesn't mean that they can invade your privacy.
Best Encryption for Your Android TV

Best Encryption for Your Android TV

Another of the most important privacy tools that a VPN offers you is advanced VPN tunneling. "Tunneling" means creating a secure, encrypted tunnel so that nobody can see what you're doing on the Internet. It can plug a leak that might have otherwise exposed you. When you're logged in to the PrivadoVPN app on your Android TV, you can be sure your communications are protected by the global gold standard in online encryption.

The Best Software to Combat Android TV Vulnerabilities

Android TV Sticks can be vulnerable to all sorts of cyberattacks. And many of these could be mitigated or prevented by using a VPN. Here are just a few examples.

Jailbreaking

A lot of people like to "jailbreak" their Android TV Sticks. This means that you're able to access all of the functions that your device is capable of, including manually installing streaming apps that can't be found on the Google Play store.

However, as easy as it is, the process of jailbreaking Android TV devices opens up major vulnerabilities that could allow somebody to remotely take control of them, especially if you're on a shared Internet connection like in a hotel.

A VPN can hide your presence on networks and block attempts to hijack your connection.

Root Exploits

Even a quick Internet search can show you dozens of root exploits for Android TV devices. A root exploit allows somebody to take full control of your streaming device, installing anything they want, looking at login information, and more.

The easiest way to not be the victim of a root exploit is to not be seen as vulnerable. A VPN will hide your presence online so that people won't even be able to tell that you're streaming through Android TV.

Cryptomining Malware

It's possible that a threat actor might be able to access your Android device and install cryptomining malware on it. "Cryptomining" is the process of auditing cryptocurrency transactions in order to earn units of that particular currency. It is very resource intensive, so hackers will often install malware on other people's systems. That way they don't have to slow down their computer, but your Android TV could become entirely unusable.

With a VPN, you'll be able to prevent your connection from being traced by threat actors and significantly reduce the chances a data leak will make you the victim of malware.

Frequently Asked Questions

Absolutely you need a VPN if you're going to be streaming frequently. The average smart TV is considered part of the "Internet of Things" and, like many IoT devices, probably doesn't have the advanced security that computers and phones tend to.

Unfortunately, this means that they can be a way into your network, like an unlocked door in a fortress. VPNs are good at filling in those security holes so that you don't risk all of your online devices just because you want fast, easy streaming.

VPNs defend your online privacy in two distinct, but complimentary ways.

  1. A VPN can hide your IP address by routing all of your traffic through a server located someplace else. With IP masking, your identity can't be seen by anyone who happens to be watching. Since PrivadoVPN uses only the highest quality traffic routes, your speeds will stay incredibly fast and your connections secure.
  2. A VPN can lock down all of your Android TV data so that it stays encrypted while in transit to and from different servers. This not only foils packet sniffing and other online snooping, but it also keeps your ISP from recording your Internet activity or artificially slowing down your connection for certain types of data.

In most cases, it is not illegal to use VPNs for streaming or any other legal activity. However, there are some places in the world where it might be.

Several countries put a strict limit on how you can connect to a VPN network. Often they only approve server locations that they can control, or companies that allow them access. This isn't to say that VPNs with a server in one of those countries are compromised, but residents and visitors might not be allowed to use certain security tools.

However, that is usually the exception. If you plan on traveling, consult a lawyer and the country's local laws to see if you could get in trouble for using a VPN. Most of the time you should have no problem, but it doesn't hurt to do the research.

We use the best encryption in the world, 256-bit, for our VPN network. Android TV app users can enjoy safe streaming on any PrivadoVPN server because of how strong this protocol is.

The "256" refers to how many numbers are used in the encryption key. In order to break that encryption, it would require a computer to try 2256 potential combinations. The world's fastest computer, which is roughly 1 million times faster than the average high-end Android TV system, would still take 27,337,893,038,406,611,194,430,009,974,922,940,323,611,067,429,756,962,487 years to break 256-bit encryption. Put another way: 27,337,893 trillion trillion trillion trillion years.

You can't beat that kind of security. It's another reason why PrivadoVPN is the best VPN for Android TV.

PrivadoVPN's free account is, by far, the most secure free VPN you can use for your Android TV device. Here are just a few reasons why PrivadoVPN Free for Android TV provides more features than other VPNs.

  1. You get 10 GB of data for free every month. That's up to 5 times more than most free VPNs on the market.
  2. You can access 12 VPN servers from around the world, so it's possible to set your location for the fastest possible speeds and best security.
  3. You'll be able to stream high quality content and use download services with a free VPN account.
  4. PrivadoVPN doesn't ask for anything other than a verified email to sign up.

Yes, we offer a full, 30 day money back guarantee on our paid plans. Try our VPN and see for yourself what kind of streaming speeds you'll get on our servers, how useful IP masking can be, and the improved security that comes with 256-bit encryption.

We highly recommend that you install our official app on your Android TV devices and use that for streaming. There are several reasons for this.

First of all, manual installation can open up additional vulnerabilities that we've already accounted for. Our apps are tested and retested before they ever get released to prevent unauthorized access.

Secondly, the app is just faster than a manual install. It doesn't require complex back end setup and it works a lot more quickly than a direct OpenVPN connection.

Finally, using our app is just easier. We've spent countless hours debating the UI to make sure that it's as simple as possible to choose a server and start streaming. The PrivadoVPN Android TV app is the product of teams of people asking themselves, "What is going to make it easy for our customers to get the best possible security?" You don't have to worry about your connection when you're using our app.
