Stream your favorites with an Android TV VPN

Yes, Proton VPN works on Android TV devices running Android 8 and above.

1. Open the Proton VPN app on your Android TV
2. Scan the QR code with your phone
3. Sign in or create your Proton VPN account

You can use a free Proton VPN account on your Android TV devices. However, some streaming services limit access from IP addresses associated with free VPN servers — that's not something we can control. If reliable streaming is what you need, a paid Proton VPN plan gives you access to our Plus servers, which are built and optimized for it.

When you use a VPN, your public-facing IP address changes to match the server location you select. If you're a subscriber in the US, connecting to a server near your home helps ensure you see the content intended for your existing streaming accounts. If you connect to a different server location, the apps or content available on your device may change.

If you find that your Ethernet connections drop when a VPN connection is established, try updating your Android TV’s firmware(new window) or connecting to the internet using WiFi. This is a known Android TV bug(new window), and it affects all VPN apps.

If you’re signing in using a verification code instead of using the QR code, go to https://protonvpn.com/tv on another device (such as your phone) to enter it.

If you’ve signed into your Proton Account on your second device and you can’t see anywhere to enter your 8-digit code, make sure you’re on https://protonvpn.com/tv (/tv) and not https://protonvpn.com.

You can download Proton VPN on Windows, macOS, Linux, Chromebook, iPhone / iPad, Android, Android TV, and on streaming devices like Apple TV and Fire TV Stick. No matter how you stream, you can count on Proton VPN to keep your streaming fast, private, and secure.

VPN usage is completely legal in most countries. So whether you’re using a VPN for streaming or simply to protect your privacy, you won’t risk breaking the law. However, please note that Proton VPN is a VPN service not intended to be used as a means of copyright circumvention. For more details, please read the Proton VPN Terms and Conditions of Service and the terms of use of the streaming service you’re using.

You can use Proton VPN with many of the most popular streaming services, including Netflix, HBO Max, and Disney+. See our Streaming guide for more details.
