GhostShield VPN provides encrypted connections for Windows, macOS, iPhone, Android, Google TV, and Android TV. Its TV app installs through Google Play and can be controlled with a TV remote, making it a fit for people who want VPN protection directly on a supported television device. The published feature list includes WireGuard, ChaCha20 encryption, a strict no-logs policy, and up to 10 devices per plan. Its verified TV scope is narrower than its broader device list: Google TV and Android TV with Google Play are the supported television platforms.

Pricing is offered in three plans. The 1 Month plan is $6.99 per month with monthly billing; the 1 Year plan is $4.99 per month with annual billing; and the 3 Years plan is $3.99 per month with annual billing. Each plan includes 10 devices, unlimited bandwidth, and a 30-day money-back guarantee. The pricing page also advertises a 7-day trial. The vendor's TV page gives a different trial length, so buyers should check the current terms before starting; a card is required for the trial. The lowest advertised recurring price is tied to the 3 Years plan.

For TV use, the key limitation is platform coverage: Fire TV is not currently supported, and router compatibility and Smart DNS are not verified on the vendor's pages. Beyond the TV app, features include a kill switch, DNS leak protection, split tunneling, and blocking for ads, trackers, malware, and phishing. Email support and a stated 24/7 support availability are listed. Choose GhostShield if your TV runs Google TV or Android TV with Google Play and you value a lower annual-plan price; look elsewhere if Fire TV support or broader verified TV options are essential.
