Download NordVPN for Android TV and Android TV box

Yes, you can use a VPN on an Android TV. With NordVPN, it’s easy — buy the plan that suits your needs, download the app from Google Play (or get the APK file from our website), and log in with your Nord Account credentials.

NordVPN offers optimized apps for TVs that run on Android OS or Google TV. If your TV runs on WebOS, Tizen OS, Roku TV, or another operating system, you can still benefit from VPN security by setting up NordVPN on your router. Doing so will protect your smart TV and every other device connected to the network.

Any TV that runs on Android OS is an Android TV. An Android TV box, meanwhile, is a separate device that lets you stream online content and use Android apps on a non-Android TV. Amazon Fire Stick and Google Chromecast are all popular Android TV boxes, while the Roku TV box runs on its own special operating system.

When choosing the best VPN for your Android TV, the most important factor is VPN speed. A slow VPN connection can hamstring your ability to safely stream content, forcing you to wait while your show is buffering. For the best VPN speeds, look for VPNs that have servers close to your physical location and use the most advanced VPN protocols (like WireGuard®).

For example, NordVPN offers 7,700+ servers covering 118 countries around the world, meaning it’s easy to find a VPN server near you. It is powered by NordLynx, an ultra-fast VPN protocol based on WireGuard®. NordVPN is easy to use, letting you protect your Android TV with just a few button presses And it’s great value — one NordVPN subscription can protect up to 10 devices at the same time.

Yes, you can use your existing VPN subscription on Android TV — if your service supports Android TVs, like NordVPN does. You can use a single NordVPN subscription to protect up to 10 devices at the same time.

A VPN may improve your streaming speed if your ISP is engaging in bandwidth throttling based on traffic type. However, in most cases, a VPN will not make your internet speed faster — and free or disreputable VPNs may even slow it down. VPNs work by encrypting and routing data through secure remote servers, which adds extra travel time to your online traffic and increases lag.

For the best VPNs like NordVPN, the slowdown is virtually imperceptible — our sophisticated server infrastructure and VPN protocols make sure that you don’t have to choose between security and speed. Always pick VPN servers that are close to your physical location to enjoy the best VPN speed possible.

Yes, it is perfectly legal to use a VPN with Android TV (or any other device) in most countries to boost your online privacy and security. However, it is illegal to use VPNs to break the law or circumvent copyright laws in other regions.
