How to set up a VPN for Android TV: four steps to go
The whole path, laid out like your TV’s programme guide. Pick a step to see what to do, and where.
Step 1 · On your phone or computer
Choose a plan
Without a plan, the TV app connects to the free locations. A plan opens every location. There’s no free trial. Plans run from 1 month to 5 years. A plan bought at our checkout, in the App Store, the Mac App Store or Google Play is saved to your CopVPN account and unlocks every CopVPN app signed in with the same account.
Step 2 · On your TV
Install from Google Play
On your TV, open Google Play, find CopVPN and install it. It’s the same Google Play listing as the Android phone app, and it needs Android 7.0 or later.
Step 3 · On your phone or computer
Open the code email
When you sign in on the TV, we email you a 6-digit code. Open it on your phone or computer, whichever is closer. Don’t share the code with anyone.
Step 3 · On your TV
Sign in with the remote
Type your email, then the 6-digit code, and choose Verify & sign in. There’s no password. New here? The sign-in screen has a QR code: scan it, or visit my.copaccount.com, to create your account there.
Step 4 · On your TV
Press OK
Home says “Press OK to secure this device.” Press OK on the remote, and it says Protected: “Your Android TV traffic is encrypted.”

Inside the TV app
Three settings, readable from the sofa
Home, Servers and Settings sit across the top of the screen, and on-screen hints show which remote button does what. Settings keeps to three rows.
DNS leak protection Always on
It’s on in the TV app all the time, with no switch to forget.
Protocol
“How traffic is encrypted”
The same picker as the phone: 5 protocols, with Optimal as the automatic choice. Choose Optimal and Smart Connect tries another protocol by itself if one can’t connect.
Auto-connect
“Protect on untrusted networks”
On TV, it connects to the last server when the app opens. You choose whether it’s on.
Premium
“Manage your plan”
Your plan, billing and connected devices are in your account at my.copaccount.com.
Pick from 85+ locations in 65+ countries in the Servers tab, or from Quick connect on Home. With a plan, the Servers tab also has the Specialty servers: Streaming, Gaming and P2P Torrenting. See the server list
Pick a VPN protocol with the remote
5 protocols: WireGuard, OpenVPN UDP, OpenVPN TCP, AmneziaWG and Stealth. Optimal is the automatic choice.
OptimalAutomatic
Picks the best protocol for your network automatically.
WireGuard
Fastest. Best for everyday use where VPNs aren’t blocked.
OpenVPN UDP
Reliable and widely supported. Good if WireGuard is unstable.
OpenVPN TCP
Slower, but gets through firewalls that block UDP, such as hotels, offices and schools.
AmneziaWG
Disguised WireGuard. For networks that detect and block VPN traffic.
Stealth
Looks like ordinary web browsing. For the most restrictive networks, when everything else is blocked.
Want a Kill Switch, Split tunneling or Block ads, trackers & malware too? They’re in the CopVPN app for Android phones and tablets.
Unlimited devices
Switch input: one account on your other screens
Sign in to CopVPN on the TV, your phone and your laptop with the same account. It works on unlimited devices.
