Install Hide My IP on Fire TV and Android TV

The Hide My IP Android app works on TVs and streaming sticks with Android TV, Google TV or Amazon Fire TV, including Chromecast with Google TV. It has a TV layout that you use with the remote. The TV needs Android 7.0 or newer. On Fire TV, that means Fire OS 6 or newer.

Android TV and Google TV

1. Open Google Play on the TV and search for Hide My IP.
2. Install the app. If it does not show up, install the APK file with the Downloader app, the same way as on Fire TV below.

Fire TV

Fire TV has no Google Play, so you install the app file (APK) with the free Downloader app.

1. On the Fire TV home screen, search for Downloader and install it.
2. Open Settings > My Fire TV > Developer Options > Install unknown apps and turn on Downloader. On older models, the switch is Apps from Unknown Sources. If you do not see Developer Options, open Settings > My Fire TV > About and click your device name 7 times.
3. Open Downloader. In the address box, enter apk.hide-my-ip.com/hidemyip.apk and select Go.
4. When the download ends, select Install. After that, you can delete the file in Downloader to free space.

Enter your license key

Without a license key, the app works for free with a few locations. To unlock every location:

1. Select Unlock.
2. Enter your key in the License Number field and select Enter License.

On Android TV, Upgrade buys Premium through Google Play. On Fire TV, buy Premium on our website first, then enter the key.

Connect

1. Choose a location in the list and select Connect.
2. When the TV asks to allow the VPN connection, select OK.

Updates

Google Play updates the app on its own. An app installed from the APK file does not update by itself. To update it, download and install the APK again with Downloader.
