Nvidia Shield devices come with the Play Store built-in, so you can get started with ExpressVPN quite easily. In other words, you can set up ExpressVPN on your Nvidia Shield TV in a matter of minutes, gaining access to every feature this VPN offers.
All Nvidia Shield TV models work with ExpressVPN. However, we do recommend updating your device's software. So, go to Settings > About > System Upgrade > Check for Upgrade. If an update is available, download and install it. Then, proceed as explained below.
To install ExpressVPN on your Nvidia Shield TV, you need to get a subscription and download the app from the Play Store. Here's how that is done:
1. Sign up for ExpressVPN using your computer and a Web browser.
2. Using your Nvidia Shield TV, open the Play Store. Use that app’s search function to look up "ExpressVPN" and click the app’s icon.Â
3. Then, select "Install" and wait until the app downloads and installs. Once done, press the "Open" button to launch ExpressVPN on your Shield TV.Â
4. Select "Sign In" and provide your credentials. Select "Sign In" once again. You will be asked about sharing anonymous analytics data. Pick "OK" or "No, Thanks."
5. At this moment, you should see the "Set Up Your VPN" screen. Select "OK." Nvidia Shield TV will now ask for a connection request. Make sure to pick "OK."
6. This is when ExpressVPN will activate, showing you its home screen, ready for use. Press the ON/OFF button to let ExpressVPN connect you to the nearest server.Â
7. To disconnect, press the ON/OFF button again and wait a couple of moments.Â
8. If you want to connect to a specific server, press the button below the ON/OFF switch. A menu will appear, letting you pick any country or server name. That's it!
ExpressVPN offers different VPN protocols. It also provides plenty of customization – found via the app's settings. That said, make sure to click on the hamburger button (three horizontal lines) in the top-left corner to access those features.Â
As you can see, setting up ExpressVPN takes very little effort and time. And thanks to the Play Store, your VPN app will auto-update over time, giving you access to new features and letting you unblock even more streaming apps.
