Hey guys, I just updated the NordVPN app on my phone and noticed that the changelog mentions that it now works on AndroidTV. I'm pretty stoked about it since none of the VPN services I've used have ever worked on AndroidTV. I'm interested to go home and check how well it works.
I just tried it. It's very well done. The only problems is that it doesn't allow to restrict the vpn to only some specific apps and it seems to support auto connect only when using wifi
The OpenVPN for Android client works perfectly on AndroidTV and is compatible with any number of VPNs... including NordVPN.
I downloaded NordVPN from Pure APK and installed it but it says I have the wrong credentials. I’ve double checked them and they are right. Anyone else have this issue or know of a fix
PIA is pretty awesome on android tv. That along with the per app section and MACE adblocker I think it’s perfect
I use VyprVPN, which has an Android TV app. Actually its just their phone app blown up, but it works.
Torguard has an android tv app, with per app restriction. You can even opt for a static ip for netflix
~~Meh. Rolled back as it doesn't autoconnect on start unlike the older version sideloaded. You have to manually start the app and then it connects.

Edit: it takes longer after boot to connect. It worked fine.
They just recently started supporting? Most of the VPN services already supports Android TV. I have been using my PureVPN subscription Android TV for quite a while. I use their Split Tunneling feature to separate apps to go through VPN or non-VPN connections.
I use express vpn is it good? Its very ecpensive imo.
What's the main benefit for those in the US? (Ignoring security). What content can we not access?
Why would that be preferable to just running VPN on the router?
I've been using F-secure Freedome for a year on my mibox. The VPN part works well, but Netflix would occasionally detect it if I change location while the app is on in the background and I would have to reboot, set location again before opening Netflix and it would let me watch that country's selection again
So how does one download Nordvpn for android tv now that it's supported?
Thanks so much for the PSA! I have needed something besides ExpressVPN to work with MLB.tv, as its way too hit or miss with that. Hoping a free trial of Nord will tell me if it’s better.
Does this mean it works natively on NVIDIA Shield? How about Fire TV Stick? (sorry for the noob question but I'm new to this)
