To use NordVPN’s DNS servers on Android TV when not connected to a NordVPN server, follow these steps:

  1. Open Settings on your Android TV. They are usually designated by a cogwheel icon.
  2. Head to Network and Internet and write down the IP address (marked “1” in the picture below).

    Select IP settings (marked “2” in the picture below).

  7. Enter the first DNS address: 103.86.96.100

    The “DNS 1” field on your Android TV field needs to be filled in with a valid IP address from NordVPN
     
  8. Enter the second DNS address: 103.86.99.100

    The “DNS 2” field on your Android TV field needs to be filled with a valid IP address from NordVPN
