LG TVs operate on webOS, an operating system developed by LG for its smart TVs.
Unfortunately, there are no dedicated VPN apps available on this particular operating system, but there are a couple of easy ways to connect your LG TV VPN to a VPN.
And while you're setting up protection for your TV, don’t forget that VPNs can also be used on your other smart devices to keep your entire home network secure and unrestricted.
Set Up a VPN on LG Smart TV via Windows Hotspot
Both Windows devices can share an internet connection. If those devices are connected to a VPN, the shared connection will also use one. This means that when you connect to a shared connection on your LG TV, it will have an LG TV VPN connection.
- Download and install the Mysterium VPN app on your Windows PC.
- Go to Windows settings, then “Network & Internet”, and finally “Mobile hotspot.”
- Toggle “Share my Internet connection with other devices” to On.
- Choose WiFi as the sharing method.
- Under “Related settings,” press “Change adapter options.”
- Right-click on your VPN connection and press “Properties.”
- Go to the “Sharing” tab and check “Allow other network users to connect…”
- In the dropdown, select your hotspot adapter.
- Turn on your LG TV and go to network settings.
- Connect to the hotspot that you just created on your Windows PC.
Note: Wi-Fi hotspot sharing is available on Windows 7/8/10, but not Windows 11.
Set UP a VPN on LG Smart TV via Mac Hotspot
Unsurprisingly, macOS devices can share an internet connection while using a VPN. To share your VPN with LG TV via macOS:
- Download and install the Mysterium VPN app on your Mac.
- Connect to a server from more than 100+ countries.
- Connect your Mac to the internet via Ethernet cable.
- Configure the Mac to share the VPN connection.
- Connect your LG Smart TV via Ethernet cable to your Mac.
Note: This requires your Mac to have 2 Ethernet ports total. Wi-Fi hotspot sharing a VPN doesn’t work with the latest VPN protocols, such as WireGuard, that Mysterium VPN uses.
