VPN on a smart TV: Samsung, LG and the rest
FortiSafe team ·
Samsung and LG televisions take no VPN app — not ours, not anyone's. Those TVs' systems do not open up to that kind of program, so anyone advertising a "smart TV VPN" is in practice selling one of two ways out: a streaming device plugged into the TV, or a setup on the router. The second one covers the TV and everything else in the house.
How to bring FortiSafe here
| Path | What it solves | What it needs |
|---|---|---|
| Through the router | A TV of any brand, and everything else in the house. | A router that supports WireGuard. |
| Through a streaming device | The TV, by way of the device plugged into it. | A device running Fire TV or Android TV. Our apps for those are being built. |
| An app on the TV | Nothing — it does not exist. | Samsung's and LG's systems do not allow a VPN app. |
Through the router, step by step
- Check whether your router supports WireGuard — the router guide has the list of brands.
- Download the configuration file in your account, under Devices → Use on a router.
- Import the file in the router's VPN settings.
- Turn the connection on and confirm the router shows the tunnel as active.
- Everything connected to that router now exits through Brazil — including the device on this page.
What this does not solve
- We promise access to no service. What FortiSafe delivers is a Brazilian IP and an encrypted connection; what each platform decides to do with that changes without notice, and is not in our hands.
- The TV will not show that it is protected. The connection is made by the router or the streaming device; the TV only uses the network. To check, look at the IP in a browser on the device itself, where there is one.
What about FortiSafe?
The app exists today for iPhone and Windows; Android, Mac and TV are being built.
For anything that takes no app, the way in is the router — and the configuration file is in your account.
