ROOT VPN on Android TV

Android TV, whether built into the set or on a box like a Shield or Chromecast with Google TV, can run a VPN directly, so your streaming apps load other regions and your ISP cannot single out your video traffic. The dedicated ROOT app is coming soon.

Run ROOT on the Android TV device and every streaming app on it goes through the tunnel. If you would rather cover every screen at once, set ROOT up on your router instead.

How to set up on Android TV

A few steps and you are connected. No technical know-how needed.

  1. Create a free ROOT account so you have a login ready for the TV.
  2. On the Android TV device, install the ROOT app from Google Play once it is available, or set ROOT up on your router to cover the TV automatically.
  3. Open ROOT and sign in with your account.
  4. Choose the country whose streaming library you want, then connect.
  5. Launch your streaming app, it now sees the country you picked.

VPN for Android TV: common questions

Does Android TV support a VPN app?
Yes. Android TV devices run apps from Google Play, so the ROOT app will install directly once available. You can also cover the TV through router setup in the meantime.
Can I unblock streaming libraries on my TV?
Yes. Connect the Android TV device to a server in the country you want, then open the streaming app, and it loads that region's catalogue on the big screen.
Shield, Chromecast or built-in, which works?
All of them. Any Android TV device, a Shield, a Chromecast with Google TV, or a TV with Android built in, can run ROOT directly or be covered by router setup.
