Proton has developed a VPN application specifically dedicated to Android TV. Compatible with televisions equipped with Google TV OS and Android TV boxes, it offers great ease of use to enjoy content from TV platforms and geo-blocked streaming services on the big screen.
In addition to speeds above the average of competitors on the market, Proton VPN offers many servers specifically optimized for streaming. While it is among the best free VPNs, with a paid subscription it is possible to connect in more than sixty countries, while free users can choose from three countries. However, only the “Plus and Visionary” plans allow you to unblock the most popular streaming services. The “Proton VPN Android TV” app is compatible with Google Chromecast sticks (4th generation and later), as well as all TVs equipped with Android TV.
Proton VPN can also be installed on Amazon Fire TVs and Firesticks (Fire OS 6 and later). In addition to one of the most beautiful interfaces on the market, ProtonVPN’s Android TV application is designed to work with the remote control of the TV or box.
