Teal VPN encrypts a device’s internet connection through a Teal server, with a dedicated app for Android TV and Google TV. Its TV interface is designed for remote control, making it relevant to people who want VPN access directly on a compatible television rather than routing the whole home through a router. The TV app supports Android 8 and later and can be installed from Google Play on the TV or by direct download. It is a fit for Android TV and Google TV households; viewers with Fire TV or Apple TV should look elsewhere for a native app.

The TV app’s controls are tailored to that setting: users can sign in with a phone or short code, connect with one button, and select a server location while seeing ping on the TV. That keeps the core connection and location choices visible on the television. The listed TV platforms are Android TV and Google TV; other listed apps cover Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, Chrome extension, and web. Teal documents VPN-on-router use as a general workaround for devices without an app, but does not provide Teal-specific router compatibility or setup instructions. This is therefore a more direct option for supported TVs than for unsupported television platforms.

Teal Free includes 500 MB every day, a Lithuania location, and up to two devices. Teal Pro — 1 year costs $3 per month on annual billing and includes unlimited data, all 14 locations, and up to 10 devices. Teal Pro — 6 months is $4 per month, with unlimited data, all 14 locations, and up to five devices; Teal Pro — 1 month is $7.99 per month with the same data, locations, and device limit. The paid plans suit viewers needing more data or locations, while the free tier is a limited way to start. Teal says it does not log browsing activity, and email is the listed support channel.
