Hey there, I heard you just got a new LG TV and ran into an issue with installing your VPN (Surfshark). Since your TV doesn’t have Google Play, you’re looking to either use the VPN on the TV itself or set it up on your router for broader streaming options. With your TP-Link Archer VR2100, you might try configuring the VPN at the router level—either for the TV’s port or for the whole network. Let me know if you need more details!

Does this assist you? If not, it suggests your router doesn’t support it. Since it’s a modem/router combo from your ISP, it’s unlikely to work.

Do you need a place to enter a username, password or set up a server? This setup seems similar to running OpenVPN at home without services like PIA, NordVPN or others. Check the official guides: https://support.flashrouters.com/tp-link...vpn-setup/ and https://www.tp-link.com/us/support/faq/3788/. Notice the differences in the interface and available options. OpenVPN is designed for this purpose.

It looks like the available choices are mainly focused on home VPN settings. Appreciate the help!
