Thanks for reaching out.
We understand the frustration, you're not the only one who's run into issues with the Android TV experience, and we’ve seen some similar feedback recently.
While GOOSE VPN can be used on Smart TVs and Android TV devices, it's important to note that we currently do not actively support this platform. That said, some users have managed to get it working by following a few extra steps:
Enable Developer Options on your TV via the settings menu.
Then navigate to:
Device Preferences → Storage → Internal Shared Storage → Apps → View All Apps → scroll all the way down and enable “Show System Apps”.
This may help reveal the GOOSE VPN app if it's already installed but hidden from view.
If this doesn’t work with your specific TV model, you might also consider using a launcher app for Android TV. These launchers display all installed apps without any filtering. You can explore some popular options here:

Additionally, if you're looking for a more consistent experience, you could install GOOSE VPN directly on your router (if it's compatible). This way, your entire home network , including your Smart TV, will automatically be protected by the VPN.
