Change your DNS servers on Android TV with NordVPN

Note: when you’re connected to a NordVPN server, NordVPN’s private DNS servers are used by default. 

To use NordVPN’s DNS servers on Android TV when not connected to a NordVPN server, follow these steps:

  1. Open Settings on your Android TV. They are usually designated by a cogwheel icon.
  2. Head to Network and Internet and write down the IP address (marked “1” in the picture below).

    Select IP settings (marked “2” in the picture below).

Android TV is now configured to use NordVPN’s private DNS servers instead of your ISP's default DNS servers.
