Setting up a fast VPN protocol on the popular Android TV operating system
Preparation: Connecting Tools
To set up a VPN, you will need to send a configuration file from your smartphone or computer to your TV. So first you need to create a «bridge» that allows you to send files between the two devices. To do this, we suggest using the program CX Explorer and cloud storage Google Drive.
1. Install the CX Explorer file manager on your TV.
2. Allow application access to the files.
3. Go to the «Network» tab and click «Add new location».
4. Select Google Drive and log in with your Google account. Grant the app permission to view files.
5. Install the WireGuard VPN client on your TV.
6. Install Google Drive on your smartphone or computer.
Preparation is complete, now proceed to the setup.
Getting VPN Configurations
1. Get a .conf configuration file from the website in your personal account:
- In the personal account: Select the desired location, then «Other protocols» → «WireGuard» and save the required number of .conf configuration files.
Note that a file connected to one TV cannot be used on another device in the same location. For example, if you downloaded the «WGSE…._5.conf» file for your TV, use the «WGSE…_4.conf» file for another device in the same location, and so on. You can use a file with the same serial number only in a different location.
2. Upload the file to your Google Drive cloud profile.
Connecting VPN
1. Open the WireGuard VPN client on your TV.
2. Click the «+ Add» button at the bottom right.
3. From the suggested apps, select the previously installed CX Explorer.
4. In the file manager, select the «Network» tab and then your profile in Google Drive.
5. Find the .conf configuration file that you uploaded to the cloud.
6. The configuration will be automatically imported into WireGuard. Click on it to activate the VPN.
7. Upon first connection, a connection request will appear; click «OK».
Done. Your TV is now connected to a reliable VPN. You can configure configuration files for other locations in the same way.
