# WireGuard on Android TV

> Connect a TunnelFleet WireGuard server from Android TV or Google TV.

Android TV setup is similar to Android phones, with a few remote-friendly differences.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Install WireGuard">
    On the TV, open Google Play and install **WireGuard**. If WireGuard is unavailable for your device, use a sideload method supported by your TV vendor, or configure WireGuard on a router in front of the TV instead.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Get the config onto the TV">
    Prefer one of these:

    * Generate a QR code in TunnelFleet and scan it with a phone that shares the profile via a secure channel you control
    * Copy the `.conf` to USB storage and open it from the TV file app if available
    * Use the official WireGuard companion/import flow supported on your build
  </Step>

  <Step title="Import and name the tunnel">
    In WireGuard on the TV, create a tunnel from the config file or transferred profile.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Connect">
    Activate the tunnel with the remote. Accept any VPN permission dialogs.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Easier alternative: router-level WireGuard

For living-room devices, many teams run WireGuard on a [GL.iNet router](/docs/wireguard/gl-inet) and put the Android TV on that network. The TV then needs no VPN app.

## Tips

* Use a short tunnel name so it is readable on the TV UI
* Test on a phone first to confirm the TunnelFleet peer works
* Keep the TV's system time accurate — TLS and some captive portals misbehave when the clock is wrong

| --------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| App missing from Play Store | Use router VPN or a supported sideload path for your device               |
| Hard to enter text          | Import via file/QR rather than typing keys manually                       |
| Streaming apps detect VPN   | Expected for some services; use a region-appropriate endpoint you control |
