Why Use a VPN for Your Smart TV?

Access a World of Content

Some of the best shows, movies, and sports events are only available in certain regions, drastically limiting your entertainment options.

That doesn’t mean you have to miss out. You can connect to a VPN server to change your digital location and stream from anywhere.

Enhance Privacy and Security

Some third parties out there want to know what you do online. It could be harmless information like your content preferences, but you don’t want to be exposing things like your transaction data.

A VPN keeps your activity truly private by encrypting your traffic. Your activity will become indecipherable to snoopers.

Bypass ISP Throttling

Imagine finally sitting down to stream your movie just to stare at the loading wheel, even though you have a high-quality internet connection. One possible reason: your ISP is slowing down your speed intentionally.

With VPN encryption, your ISP won’t be able to see when you’re streaming. If it can’t see you, it can’t put brakes on you!

FAQ

Some smart TVs, including Android TV, Google TV, Fire TV, and Apple TV allow VPN usage. PIA has native VPN apps for these devices, which you can find in the Google Play Store, Amazon Appstore, and Apple App Store.

That said, some smart TVs don’t support VPNs, so you can’t directly download a VPN app for them. You can still safeguard any smart TV you have by setting up a VPN on your home router and connecting your smart TV to the network.

PIA is the go-to choice for smart TVs because it’s one of the fastest VPNs on the market. Not only that, but it gives you unlimited bandwidth and access to streaming-optimized servers in popular locations around the world.

Better yet, we offer dedicated VPN apps for Android TV and Fire TV devices, so you can easily install PIA on your smart TV, same as you’d install any other app.

You can’t currently install a VPN on your Samsung smart TV directly. As a lightweight alternative, you can use PIA’s Smart DNS feature – it lets you change your Samsung TV’s virtual location without sacrificing your connection speed. Keep in mind that Smart DNS does not encrypt your connection like a VPN.

You may not be able to install a VPN app directly on your LG smart TV, but you can still use one. You can either use PIA’s Smart DNS feature to switch your smart TV’s virtual location or set up PIA on your home router. The latter allows you to safeguard all devices on your home network with a powerful VPN service, including your smart TV.

Yes, PIA is compatible with Android TV. You can easily download and install the PIA app directly from the Google Play store on your Android TV device. Then, all you need to do is connect to one of our VPN servers and enjoy the show.

Yes, PIA provides a user-friendly Apple TV VPN app that you can download from the App Store. A few clicks, and you gain access to high-speed, secure servers in 91 countries.

No, unlike a VPN, Smart DNS doesn’t secure your traffic. While both can help switch your virtual location, a VPN makes your traffic data impenetrable to outsiders with VPN encryption, whereas Smart DNS doesn’t.

It’s simple. Log in to the PIA app and connect to a server. Then, open Netflix and enjoy your favorite content securely. Keep in mind that PIA offers streaming-optimized servers in some locations, continuously monitored to provide reliable access to streaming services.

A VPN encrypts your internet traffic and routes it through a remote server in a location of your choice, creating a secure tunnel between your smart TV and the internet. This helps you avoid ISP throttling, access content on restricted networks, and enjoy content smoothly and securely.
