Your Android TV box comes with all kinds of media streaming apps – many of which could be blocked in your region or country. With that said, you'll want to know how to unblock those apps while preserving your privacy – even on your media streaming device. So, here are the steps to take to set up a VPN on an Android TV box.Â
1. If you’re not yet a subscriber, go ahead and sign up for ExpressVPN.Â
2. You’ll land on the VPN’s website, where you need to click on 'Get ExpressVPN.'Â
3. First, pick a subscription plan (you save quite a bit by picking a long-term one).Â
4. Input your email address and pay for the chosen subscription plan.Â
5. Once done, expect to receive a confirmation email from ExpressVPN’s team.Â
