VPN for TV: MaskNet for Android TV and Apple TV

Connect MaskNet on a supported Android TV or Apple TV and watch video on your usual subscription.

Apps

Choose an app

We recommend Happ to most users; INCY works with the same subscription too.

On Android TV, Happ installs from Google Play or as an APK file. On Apple TV it is a separate app, “Happ — Proxy Utility for TV”, from the App Store. INCY is in Google Play for Android TV and in the App Store for Apple TV.

The set of apps depends on the platform and the store.

After installation

Connect your MaskNet subscription

  1. Install Happ from the link above.
  2. Open Happ on your TV — it shows a QR code. Scan it in Happ on the phone where the MaskNet subscription is already added.
  3. Choose a country and press the connect button.

VPN for TV: a detailed guide

What you need

  • A TV or set-top box with Android TV or an Apple TV.
  • A phone with Happ where the MaskNet subscription is already added: a TV has no camera, so the subscription is sent from the phone.
  • The phone and the TV on the same Wi-Fi network.

Installing and sending the subscription

  1. On Android TV, install Happ from Google Play or as an APK. On Apple TV, install the separate app "Happ — Proxy Utility for TV" from the App Store.
  2. Open Happ on the TV — it shows a QR code.
  3. Scan this code in Happ on the phone where the MaskNet subscription is already added. The phone sends the subscription to the TV.
  4. Don't close the import screen on the TV until the transfer finishes. Then pick a country and connect.

INCY is in Google Play for Android TV and in the App Store for Apple TV. In INCY the subscription is also sent to the TV from the phone — by QR code or an 8-character code.

TV specifics

On Apple TV, tvOS deletes app data when memory runs low: the subscription can disappear from the TV, and you send it from the phone again.

For video, pick a country close to you: the lower the latency to the server, the faster playback starts.

If something went wrong

Not sure how to add the subscription+

On first launch, Happ on the TV shows a QR code. Scan it in Happ on the phone where the MaskNet subscription is already added; the phone and the TV must be on the same Wi-Fi network. The phone passes the subscription to the TV.

The subscription was added only partly+

Do not close the import screen on the TV until the transfer finishes. Repeat the transfer.

The phone can't find the TV during the transfer+

Make sure the phone and the TV are on the same Wi-Fi network. A router's guest network often isolates devices from each other — connect both to the main network and scan the QR code again.

In INCY it works the same way — the walkthrough is in INCY won't connect.
