Is there a way to get VPN on TV?

VPN

I’m from central Europe and I’d like the USA Netflix to be running here. Is there a way to achieve that if I use the Netflix app on my Samsung smart TV? Thanks :slight_smile:

I bought a router from Express VPN which allows the entire network to be set to a location. That’s how I watch Netflix USA on my TV.

There are 2 options:

  1. Smart dns

  2. VPN router

Both will work fine with Samsung smart TVs and smart tvs in general. Smart dns is cheaper than buying a vpn router.

With ExpressVPN they also provide a Smart DNS so I use this and get US Netflix and US Prime Video. Works like a charm!

5

Yes, NordVPN has an Amazon Fire TV app.

6

Windscribe has an app for most devices, and DNS for those it doesn’t.

***JUST WANNA UPDATE THIS***

​

I went to https://www.smartdnsproxy.com/services/us-netflix and tried the 14 days free trial (you don’t even have to put your credit card in). I’ve set the DNS in router and it just works. Just like that. US Netflix shows playing as I write this.

​

It’s 5 USD a month (less if you pay up front) which isn’t that much, but if there’s cheaper alternative, just post it! :slight_smile:

I have a Samsung TV. Easiest way was to get firestick. Download expressvpn app and switch to US. Works great and very quick to switch on and off.

ExpressVPN would be the go-to if you use Android tv. Their app from the Play store works fine and dandy. You might need to power down your tv a few minutes between changing servers locations though.

My dad did this. I think you use something called “Media Share”

11

If you ONLY want USA then you could use Getflix. I have the DNS set up on my Samsung TV and have no issues.

12

I have a Sony Android TV. I use NordVPN. There’s an app for it on the TV. Early on the VPN wouldn’t work but once I uninstalled all the updates on the Netflix app (and blocked automatic updates) it worked pretty well. It’s still working. So try this out if you’d like.

One other way might be to cast the browser tab, or the whole desktop from a computer running the vpn to your tv screen.

14

Just use Getflix and change DNS

15

You can also do this with a Raspberry Pi and a bit of manual configuration

16

i did that as well on my samsung smart tv and works

Newbie here. Smart DNS means you chose from an app? Also why would you chose Express over Nordvpn when Nord seems to have more servers?

Edit: and is much cheaper?

A friend tried it and said he cant access Netflix because it says he is using a proxy

19

I use Cyberghost it works fine on all os/iOS, but my Sony Bravia tv knows it’s running and blocks it. Even though I’m use the app from the chrome store. I’m still pretty new to this.

How would it be done on a pie?
