How to use a VPN on your Google TV or Chromecast

Google TV is an easy-to-use operating system that provides access to various streaming services in one place. Even if your smart TV uses a different OS, you can still access Google TV by purchasing a Chromecast for as little as $30. Using a VPN with your Google TV or Chromecast can help you access more content by spoofing your IP address to a different country. This allows you to access geo-restricted content on streaming platforms. For example, you can use a VPN to watch BBC documentaries on BBC iPlayer if you live in the US. VPNs also offer security benefits when used on smartphones or PCs. Google TV has fewer apps compared to other smart TV systems, but this means you can focus on quality and trustworthy VPNs. Recommended VPN services include ProtonVPN, ExpressVPN, Surfshark, and CyberGhost. To set up a VPN on your Google TV, navigate to the Google Play Store, search for the VPN you want to install, log in or sign up, and connect to a country server. If you have a Chromecast, you can use a VPN by installing it on your smartphone or laptop, enabling Wi-Fi, turning on the VPN, connecting your device to your TV via Chromecast, and beginning to stream content.
