You can do this by selecting the 'Pencil' icon next to your provider on the Main Screen.Īnd that's all there is to it! You can import as many as you like (so for me, I've put some UK, US and NL ones so I can jump between regions as needed). Once imported, you'll need to then insert your Username and Password for your provider this is as the files you downloaded are generic and not tied to your account. Once done, navigate to them in the OpenVPN Android TV client and import them by selecting them like so: If you are using NordVPN then you can download them from:ĭownload them, and place them on your Android TV device either by USB Stick, SD Card, External Media or using one of the many file importers available on Android to get it on your native file system.

I picked NordVPN because of its zero logging policy, it's Netflix US friendly as well as P2P friendly while operating out of Panama meaning DMCA and Blocking Streams just doesnt happen. If you use the coupon code "2YDeal2017" you can get 2 years service for only $79.99 which is a massive steal. If you havent got a provider yet, I strongly recommend NordVPN. I found this workaround which I use detailed below to provide a native remote friendly interface, while getting all the benefits of the VPN. If you want to use their apps you have to sideload the APK downloaded from an external source and then deal with using a keyboard/mouse to simulate a touch screen interface which isnt exactly ideal on an Android TV / Nvidia Shield TV in a living room where a Remote / Controller tends to be used. Some providers already provide a Native TV application, but the majority don't which is really annoying. This guide shows you how to setup your NordVPN (or other OpenVPN) provider on your Android TV like the Nvidia Shield TV using a native application which works via the remote.
