Hello, I am the "proud" owner of a Sony Bravia Android TV with all its perks... running over the fact that I cannot connect a bluetooth headset now I am coming here with a question: native VPN seems to be blocked as option in the Android TV. I would need an alternative as I want to connect to a remote network where I have a multimedia source. In the remote network I have an ASUS RT-N56U on which I have set up a PPTP VPN server.
Does anybody knows any alternative to connect with my android TV to this VPN?
Thanks!
As I know, you can only use OpenVPN protocol on Android TV.
yep, but this doesn't help me in my situation...
my workaraound for the moment: I have reactivated my Android stick which allows PPTP VPN...

If one Android device is configured to use VPN by its own wireless network. And then if we turn on the Wifi hotspot AP (tethering) of that Android device.
Now if Kindle Fire can hook that Android device as Wifi AP, can then Kindle Fire use the VPN as well?
Thanks for any useful clue
In theory yes
However i have yet to find apps that allow that to happen in practice. The issue is the routing from the private ip range that the tethering app will provider to your connected guests to the address your phone has been assinged by the VPN.
I have tried a number of applications such as barnacle, foxfi, and the built in android tether in conjunciton with both a SSL and L2TP vpn and not had any luck getting it working yet.
If you find out how I would love to know also. Would be very handy for traveling with the kids and wife etc.

Hi,
yes there are lots if threads. But I am looking for a particular fix.
I am using a fire tv stick.
I sideloaded pulse secure VPN but cannot control it to set it up. Remote mouse apps don't work.
Does anybody know if there is a way or could someone sideload and trst it who has a bluetooth mouse?
The other idea was whether it is possible to use my mobile phone as a virtual router. When I create a VPN connection on my phone I can use Netflix with my national program. But I cannot duplicate my phones screen to the fire tv. So no mirrorcast or anything. Is there a fix for this? Or is there a way to use my phone as a virtual router? VPN on my phone and then conncect to the phone as wifi hotspot? Would kind of need two wifi services in parallel. Hotspot and normal connection...
Any ideas?
Am I able to connect an amazon firetv to an ipsec vpn headend? I'd like to put a firetv at my parents house and have it connect back to my firewall at my house via my already configured and working ipsec vpn service on my firewall. It's not openvpn or an external provider, its running off of my home connection. If so, would this require a rooted firetv device? End goal is to use it as a sony playstation vue client on my account.
My SW version currently is Fire OS 5.2.4.1 (573210520)
and the fire tv home version is 5.7.3-17
not sure if this is a ftv 1 or 2? How would I tell the difference?
