VPN for Android TV Box.

[dooga]

Hi,
I have 2 TV Boxes, both Minix, and I'm currently thinking about signing up to a VPN. Likely Purevpn subject to doing a trial. I'm in Australia so keen to have a Aust server otherwise I would be looking at PIA.
I mostly just use XBMC, and was after a little more privacy after the current policy / piracy crackdown discussions by the Aust Govt. I don't torrent.
Do vpn's work well with Android boxes and xbmc, I would be very keen to hear the experiences of others.
Thanks

Hi,
That depends on the firmware and android version
Android 4.0 - mostly dont work (it just reboots)
Jb 4.2 - most work (on stock fw, you might need Root and tun.ko installer from g-market)
Kitkat - most work out of the box

Cheers

You better hope its not your HDMI socket. Have AVI on your box, If yes try it in AV mode on your tv. If A picture shows on your tv then its your HDMI socket on your box. Hope this helps. PS. what mx box you got. mx7 or mx8.

I've had a good experience with express vpn and a minix X7 box. No issues at all. They have lots of servers, speeds are good.
