Set Up TekLan VPN for Samsung TV

Samsung TV router setup

Route the Samsung television through a compatible VPN router

TekLan does not provide a native Tizen application. The VPN profile runs on a compatible router and the Samsung television is assigned to that route.

Confirm the router has a supported WireGuard or OpenVPN client and that you can sign in to its administration page.
Connect the Samsung TV to that router and identify it in the router device list.
Back up the router settings before changing VPN or policy-routing options.

Create a separate profile for the router. Use WireGuard when the selected router guide supports it, or OpenVPN when it does not.

WireGuard download: download the .conf file directly.
WireGuard email: select Send profile, then Send email to receive the .conf file.
WireGuard device code: select Send profile, then Get code. On the device being used to configure the router, open dash.teklanvpn.com/get, enter the code and download the file. The code expires after 15 minutes and works once.
OpenVPN download or email: download the .ovpn file, or send it by email from Send profile. Select Show OpenVPN credentials and keep the displayed private-key password available. Device access codes are not offered for OpenVPN.

Choose WireGuard when the router supports it.

For WireGuard: create a WireGuard profile, download its .conf file and follow the router guide for a compatible WireGuard client.
For OpenVPN: create an OpenVPN profile, select Set up this device, choose Apple TV / console, then select the router shown in the Dashboard.

Choose OpenVPN when that is the router's supported protocol.

Select the router-based option and choose the router.
Follow the instructions for that router or firmware. Do not use directions written for a different router interface.
Connect the router VPN client, then assign the Samsung television to that VPN route using the router policy settings.
Restart the Samsung television network connection so it receives the updated route and DNS settings.
Test the router policy before using the Samsung television.

Confirm the VPN client reports Connected in the router administration page.
Confirm the Samsung TV is assigned to the VPN policy rather than the normal internet route.
Restart the Samsung TV network connection after changing the policy.
If the device cannot open an IP-checking site, temporarily assign a phone to the same policy and confirm its public IP address changes.

Generate a fresh profile and confirm that the correct router firmware was selected.
If the router connects but Samsung TV does not use the VPN, recheck its policy-routing assignment.
Remove any older VPN policy that also targets Samsung TV.
Check the router clock and DNS settings if the tunnel repeatedly drops.
