VPN for a TV on Android TV
frdm works on TVs and set-top boxes with Android TV. The app installs from Google Play, and you send the subscription to the TV screen from your phone with a QR code or an 8-character code.
Why you need a phone
Typing a long link on a TV is awkward, so you add the subscription on your phone and send it to the TV screen. This works in two apps: INCY and HAPP for TV.
The guides in your account are made for Android TV. There is no separate guide for TVs on other systems yet, in that case write to support.
Connecting through INCY
- 1Get access and choose the "Android TV" device in your account.
- 2On the TV open Google Play, find INCY and install the app.
- 3Install INCY on your phone from the App Store or Google Play, copy the subscription link in your account, open INCY on the phone and tap "Paste".
- 4Open INCY on the TV: a QR code and an 8-character code appear on the screen.
- 5In INCY on the phone tap the three-dot button on the subscription card and choose "Send to TV". Point the phone camera at the QR code or enter the code from the TV screen.
- 6On the TV choose a server with SMART in its name and press the connect button. If the TV asks for permission to connect the VPN, tap "OK".
Connecting through HAPP for TV
If sending the subscription through INCY does not work, install HAPP on the TV from Google Play. On the first screen tap "Share via Web", then on a phone or computer open the tv.happ.su site, enter the code from the TV screen in the "UID (device identifier)" field, paste the subscription link in the "Data" field and tap "Send data".
If HAPP is already set up on your phone, you can send the subscription with a QR code: in HAPP on the phone tap "+", then "QR code", point the camera at the TV screen, choose the subscription and tap "Send".
What the subscription includes
You do not pay separately for a TV: one account works on all devices, and their number is not limited. Speed is not limited on any plan.
SMART servers pick the route themselves, and Russian websites and services open directly.
Free trial and plans
New users get 7 days and 100 GB of traffic for free. On the website the trial starts after you link Telegram. After that you can pick a plan for the period you need: one account works on all your devices, and speed is not limited. Prices and the traffic included in each plan are on the pricing page. Payment goes through a payment provider, and access opens right after the payment is confirmed.
