Ok but the option for don’t allow data traffic if vpn disconnect?? I use PIA And it has kill switch but it doesn’t work well beacuse if I disconnect from vpn server and I try open internet test I get traffic my isp
You should be able to install OpenVpn from Google Play.. I've got it on every android device I own including the Shield....
If the Sony supports a USB keyboard you're probably going to want to use one for entering your VPN password.
Why would you disconnect the profile... Just leave it always running...
Someone else might know but I am not aware of any way to block the TV from hitting the internet unless it goes through the VPN unless your Router has a setting to limit the Traffic from the TV to just the VPN IP address.
Or if the Sony supports a proxy server out of the box then maybe you could route all of the traffic from the TV through a proxy server that routes all traffic to the VPN. (I don't have any experience with this, but think it would work.)
Vypr VPN has a kill switch function, have you tried that?

I tried with last version of PrivateInternetAccess and also with OpenVpnForAndroid. In the first (pia) there is the option called kill switch that in previous versions I think worked always but in this last I use sometimes if I disconnect from vpn server and I use “analiti” or simple the browser the tv get data directly from isp sometime the killswitch works and all is blocked like no connection. I don’t know if with previous versione of pia client really killswitch worked always but when I was testing I think yes now I m out in holiday so can’t get old apk to try test. In OpenVPN for Android I import the profile of pia vpn I get connected but there aren’t option about killswitch so if I disconnect from the app and try to use connection it works. I installed a app vpnsafetydot that show in real time the status of vpn but I need killswitch because I usually torrent with elementum by kodi. I have a fritzbox and yesterday I tryed to get mod firmware with OpenVPN support but not result yet
Use any vpn from android store and restrict access to tv ip address from router.
In Pia the killswitch option is avaibile and it works but not always it s that my problem if disconnects when using how I know? Dnsleaktest test give good results no dns outside vpn
On an Android TV device, simply install the VPN app through the TV's Google appstore.
