ExpressVPN has several solutions for all smart TVs. Find the right solution for your smart TV or streaming device
Some smart TV systems allow you to install a VPN app directly onto the device, while others may require manual configurations.
Smart TVs that can’t install our app may be able to use MediaStreamer, which masks your location without the privacy of a VPN.
You can also connect your smart TV to a VPN-enabled router to achieve full VPN protection with minimal extra setup.
Smart TVs are internet-connected televisions. Although there are many smart TV brands, models, and operating systems, almost all smart TVs have apps that let you watch TV shows and movies from streaming services like Netflix, Hulu, and HBO, all of which can be viewed securely with a VPN.
Using a VPN service lets you change the apparent location of your smart TV. This makes your apps work as intended no matter where you are in the world. A VPN app for smart TVs can also defeat censorship, encrypt your traffic, and help you avoid bandwidth throttling by your ISP.
A “smart TV” is any television set with an internet connection and access to on-demand streaming media. Samsung uses the term as a brand name for its line of such products (Samsung Smart TV), but many other manufacturers also produce smart TVs.
The list of smart TV devices is too large to guarantee that all of them will be able to use ExpressVPN directly. Most Android TV devices are able to run ExpressVPN’s VPN app for Android with no issues. Samsung Smart TVs cannot run VPN software, but they can use ExpressVPN’s MediaStreamer service. For specific advice, contact Support or consult our guide to popular devices.
Regardless of the above, however, any device with an internet connection can connect to ExpressVPN through a VPN-enabled Wi-Fi router.
No. MediaStreamer will allow your device to access content that would otherwise be blocked, but it does so without the privacy benefits of tunneling and encryption. To use a smart TV with all the protection of a VPN, connect it to a VPN-enabled router using the ExpressVPN app for routers.
ExpressVPN is first and foremost a privacy company and therefore stores no activity logs and no connection logs. ExpressVPN also never collects any data that would allow anyone to trace a specific network activity or behavior back to an individual user.

Yes! ExpressVPN is available on a wide array of devices including computers, smartphones, and game consoles.

Every ExpressVPN account comes with a risk-free money-back guarantee. You can enjoy the full-featured version of ExpressVPN for smart TVs for up to 30 days and get a full refund if you aren’t satisfied.

Then, either:
Installing VPN on your smart TV,
Using our MediaStreamer DNS service, or
Connecting to a VPN-enabled router

Log in to your Netflix account, launch the Netflix app, and stream to your heart’s content!
Yes! You can directly install a VPN app on compatible smart TVs. Android TVs in particular can use the ExpressVPN app for Android.
For smart TVs that cannot install the ExpressVPN app directly, you can still use ExpressVPN by connecting your smart TV to a VPN-enabled router or using our MediaStreamer DNS service, which can help your device mask its location but does not provide the same privacy protection as a VPN.
Free VPNs are not recommended for streaming on smart TVs as they do not offer the same privacy and security benefits of a paid VPN. Many do not work as advertised, some may even sell your data, and most will leave your networks vulnerable to attack.
A VPN works on smart TVs by sending your internet traffic through an encrypted tunnel that nobody can see into, including hackers, governments, and your internet service provider.
Using a VPN for your smart TV will help you securely access sites and content from anywhere. In addition to helping you defeat censorship, a VPN will also encrypt your traffic and bypass ISP throttling.
ExpressVPN is a VPN service not intended to be used as a means of copyright circumvention. Please read the ExpressVPN Terms of Service for more details.
I have used numerous VPN’s and did not like that they slowed my streaming down or crashed while I was in the middle of a Amazon purchase. Express is the best and I use it on my Iphone Ipad PC and Fire TV all for one low price.
Apart from the obvious uses like being able to discreetly surf without trading your digital freedom, for me, an English ex pat in the USA this vpn service allows me to watch U.K. tv, the only thing I really miss from home!
Most of the time I am staying outside the US, but I love watching my favorite TV series. Express VPN enables me to do it wherever I am, and I do not have to worry about 'This show is unavailable in your area' information.
No hassle. Try ExpressVPN for your smart TV with a 30-day money-back guarantee today!
