ANSWERED Launch eddie when starting my tv

[diabolik26 0]

Good morning

I installed Eddie on my TCL TV and I would like it to run when my TV starts up in order to avoid any leaks but I cannot find this option.

Can you tell me how to do it?

THANKS

Hello!

Unfortunately the system functionalities which are necessary to start and connect a VPN app during the device bootstrap were removed (remember that in Android Eddie can't have root access). This happened since Android TV 9, if we're not mistaken. The removal of the user option "Always on VPN" does not allow anymore to connect the system to an OpenVPN or WireGuard based VPN during the bootstrap. Some say (but we have not enough elements to support the claim) that this is a malicious castration of the system aimed at forcing the device to exchange data from the real IP address at least during the bootstrap to aid and abet user's profiling and to enhance marketing strategies of the manufacturer or Google itself.

Kind regards
