I see there is an option already to pause the VPN when there is no connectivity. I am quite sure that as workaround you would need just to pause the VPN when entering stand-by (turning the TV off/locking the screen on mobile) and enabling it again after exiting the stand-by (turning the TV on/unlock the screen).

This is a very bad issue: There is a bug in Android TV for Bravia (any version at least since 6.0.1) that makes the TV always rebooting after exiting stand-by if any VPN is active.

Since the TV remote buttons basically emulate the keyboard's arrows + Escape + Enter, I believe that if you manage to have the GUI fully working with those keyboard keys using a Bluetooth keyboard it would work just fine with the TV remote I can use Adguard only with a mouse (or the virtual touchpad from the Sony's Video & TV Sideview).I can install and run Adguard, but I have a couple of issues I'm thinking due to the nature of Android TV that this isn't actually possible without root. I see it's possible to import as a 'system-trusted' cert using a root shell in adb, which avoids the need for a lock screen, but if I had root I'd just install Xposed and the Youtube ad-block module instead.

Can a cert be installed via adb maybe? Again, Google was inconclusive on that!Įdit: I wonder if the normal import method failed because it wanted to force the use of a lock screen, which Android TV doesn't appear to have the functionality for (and would be a huge pain anyway!). Searching Google just gives results for installing certs on a phone or literally rooting the TV itself (which I don't want to do). I had a look in the developer options in case it was hidden but didn't find anything there either. Basically, it opened what I'd assume is the Settings/Security page, where on a phone you get the option to install a cert from storage, but on the TV that option is missing. Yeah, I did say I'd tried that but I guess I wasn't clear on the outcome.
