Xiaomi Mi Smart TV 4S VPN

by NoRaeffnix

Hey :)

Recently I tried setting up a VPN (NordVPN) on our Xiaomi Mi Smart TV 4S with Android TV, mainly to watch the BBC iPlayer content for my girlfriend. I ran into the problem that apparently there is quite a lot of DNS leakage with the TV (it works fine on the Windows PC and her IPad). I tried manually setting the DNS servers to the ones from NordVPN, but even that didn't resolve the issue. I also gave the ExpressVPN trial a go, but the result was the same. Has anyone suggestions what to try? It's not just the iPlayer, Netflix also only shows local content even when we are connected to a US or UK server. Thanks for your help and happy new year :)

After reading about how Chinese made routers were made with a back door supposedly to allow Chinese authorities to monitor all traffic I wonder if these iot device security flaws are intentional?
