What Counts as Android TV?
Using an LG, Samsung, or Roku? Those aren't Android-based, so our app won't install directly — see the FAQ below for workarounds.

What This App Doesn't Do (Yet)
Until then: if you need a hard guarantee that no traffic leaks during a drop, run Windscribe on a router or use Secure Hotspot from a Windows PC in the same room. Your TV connects to the PC's hotspot, and the PC holds the kill switch.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a VPN for Android TV?
If you only watch local services on your home Wi-Fi, probably not. But if you want to watch geo-locked content, stop your ISP from throttling your 4K streams, or use Kodi without your ISP logging every domain you visit, then yes.
Will Windscribe slow down my streaming speeds?
Using WireGuard on a nearby server, you'll usually keep 80 to 95% of your speed. We have 130+ 10 Gbps server locations to prevent congestion. A 100 Mbps line still has plenty of overhead for 4K; if you're on a distant server, you might need to drop to 1080p.
Is the free tier really enough for streaming?
It depends on your habits. 10GB buys you about 3 hours of HD streaming. It's perfect for a specific sports event or a few movies, but daily bingers will eventually need to upgrade.
Can I install Windscribe on Nvidia Shield, Chromecast, or Sony TVs?
Yes. It's the same native app and the same setup flow. Windscribe runs on any device using the Android TV or Google TV OS, including the Nvidia Shield, Chromecast with Google TV, and TVs from Sony, TCL, and Hisense.
Does it work with Fire TV?
It does, but you should grab the Fire TV-specific build from the Amazon Appstore. Fire OS is based on Android, but it's a different ecosystem. Your Windscribe account and all server locations remain the same.
Can I use Windscribe and Kodi together?
Yes. Connect to a Windscribe server first, then launch Kodi. All your Kodi traffic will route through the encrypted tunnel automatically, which is ideal if your ISP tends to throttle streaming traffic.
What if I have an LG, Samsung, or Roku TV instead?
Those don't run Android, so you can't install the app directly. You have three easy options:
- Use our sister service Control D to unblock content via DNS
- Use our Secure Hotspot feature to share a VPN connection from your Windows computer
- Set up Windscribe on your router directly
