Browse and select VPN locations

  1. Navigate to the search bar with your remote and press it:

    alt="Select and press the search locations button at the top of the home screen"
     
  2. Type in your preferred location — you can use just the two letters that indicate a country, such as US, IT, EN:

    NOTE: Choose the VPN location depending on which streaming service you're trying to access. If you're accessing a US streaming service, connect to any US location. 

 

Verify your connection is working

After setting up Surfshark, confirm that your VPN connection is working properly. You can do this by performing an IP leak test and a DNS leak test on our website.

Now that you are connected, you can explore more features to enhance your privacy and tailor the app to your needs. As the steps and interface are identical to Android TV, to do that, follow these articles:
