Have a nice day :slight_smile:

What situations would you need tp use this setup

Thanks for the guide but what makes this Warp+ and not just Warp?

fuck spez – mass edited with redact.dev

Where was this during the World Cup :smiling_face_with_tear:…?

For anyone else stumbling onto this…I have few fixes…I am using Oneplus TV Q1

With the steps mentioned above,First, the app is in portrait but with around 80% of the view cut off…I am using this app “Set Orientation” https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/eyes-free-project/set-orientation/ to set the orientation to “Landscape”, after that when i launch the warp app, it’s in landscape mode…I have to do this on every reboot before launching warp app, whenever i want to connect…

Second, when connecting to warp, my android tv would just crash 5 seconds after clicking on connect…i had the same issue with wireguard…Turns out, i can’t enable VPN system wide…some sony tv’s also have same issue…Fix was, to go into warp settings, there’s a option to exclude apps…i excluded all apps except the ones i wanted VPN in…for me it was Plex (to connect to someone’s server which his isp is blocking me from, weird i know)…

Edit,
Also, I didn’t need the sideload launcher…i found out, 1.1.1.1 app is not visible in my android tv launcher, but if I go into settings → apps, its there in system apps list and I can launch it from there too.

No longer works, when I enable Warp it does not ask me to install a VPN profile…Google TV on Chromecast

a better solution imo is to turn it into a wireguad .conf thing, then use the official wireguard app.

You can set the DNS manually to 1.1.1.1 on most TVs and at the router level. Why sideload an APK? Why send files to TV vs. SMB sharing?

How to install warp on fire tv stick?

Is this still working? I have an Google Chromecast TV and followed the steps. I installed and opened the app without any error but when I switch it to on, nothing happens. It still says Disconnected.

I appreciate any help

Does this still work? I see comments from 2 weeks ago saying it doesn’t. Could it be just the WARP app version causing them issues and it can be solved by just going to a previous version or waiting for a new update?

Getting a new LG TV soon with their webOS but it looks like I may need something like Chromecast with Google TV so I can have access to 1.1.1.1/WARP.

Still works using the same warp app version on mibox 4

not practical for 99% of casual users. But at least its doable, i guess…

its called warp+, you dont have any “freemium”. Im sorry, I did a mistake.

Same here with a Mecool KM7 Google TV box. No VPN permissions listed in system settings either.

not the same.

Change DNS, your ip address is not masked and location not changed, so no region bypass for Netflix or streaming services. WARP+ is faster and more reliable than typical free proxies or cheapo VPNs

I close the app in settings then reopen and click connect with a mouse and work flawless but Plex still loading here :confused:
On my phone the app was a night and day difference on plex.

As a workaround you can create a wireguard profile (with this tool) and use the Wireguard app on Android TV.

Oh, I see. It wasn’t clear what the objective was in your OP. I didn’t know WARP+ worked around Netflix geoblock.
