How to Set Up CyberGhost VPN on Your Android TV

You can install and set up CyberGhost VPN on your Android TV directly from the Google Play Store. This guide walks you through the process, from downloading the app to connecting to a VPN server on your TV.

Note: The steps below apply to devices running Android 7.0 (Nougat) or later. If your Android TV doesn’t have access to the Google Play Store, you can install CyberGhost by sideloading the app instead.

  1. On your Android TV, open the Google Play Store and search for CyberGhost. Select the CyberGhost app from the search results to open its store page, and press Install. This will automatically install CyberGhost on your Android TV.

How to Sideload the CyberGhost VPN App

Important: Follow the steps below to sideload the CyberGhost APK only if the app isn’t available for direct download on your Android TV. For security reasons, CyberGhost recommends downloading the APK only from official CyberGhost sources and not from third-party websites.

Set Up the CyberGhost VPN App

Once you open the app for the first time, you’ll see a window that details privacy-related information. After reading the Terms of Service, click Continue.

Select your subscription. If you’re a new user, complete the checkout process, and then continue with the setup steps. If you’re an existing user, scroll down and select Existing user? to sign in and proceed.

CyberGhost requires permission to create VPN connections and route network traffic through the VPN tunnel. This is a standard Android requirement for all VPN apps and is necessary for the service to function correctly. It doesn’t mean CyberGhost can view or log browsing activity, so it’s safe to select OK to continue.

Connect to a Server Location

To connect to a VPN server, select the power button on the home screen. By default, CyberGhost will connect you to the fastest available server based on your location.
