Last updated 14 Mar 2026 · 6 views

PremierVPN for Android is available on the Google Play Store. It works on Android phones, tablets, and Android TV devices running Android 8.0 or later.

Download

Visit the Downloads page in your portal and tap the Google Play badge, or search for "PremierVPN" in the Play Store. Look for PremierVPN: Fast & Secure VPN by JSR CREATE Limited.

Signing In

Sign in with your portal credentials — the same email and password you use at portal.premiervpn.net. If you have 2FA enabled, enter your 6-digit authenticator code when prompted.

VPN Permission

Android will ask: "Allow PremierVPN to set up a VPN connection?" Tap OK. Look for the key icon in your status bar — this confirms the tunnel is active.

Key Features

  • WireGuard Protocol — Modern, fast, and secure
  • 50+ server locations across 26 countries
  • Split Tunnelling — choose which apps bypass the VPN (Settings → Split Tunnel)
  • Auto-Connect on Untrusted Wi-Fi — VPN activates automatically on public networks; add home/work Wi-Fi to your trusted list
  • Kill Switch (Always-on VPN) — enable via Settings → Always-on VPN & Kill Switch (opens Android system settings). Enable both "Always-on VPN" and "Block connections without VPN"
  • Ad Blocker — routes DNS through AdGuard servers to block ads and trackers
  • Server Bookmarks — tap the bookmark icon to save favourites
  • Speed Test — built-in download/upload speed test through the tunnel
  • Home Screen Widget — long-press home screen → Widgets → PremierVPN Status for quick VPN info

Android TV

PremierVPN has a dedicated interface for Android TV:

  1. Install from the Play Store on your TV
  2. Sign in using your remote (portal credentials)
  3. Navigate with the D-pad: arrow keys to move, OK/Select to activate
  4. Press OK on the circle button to connect/disconnect

Tip: For always-on protection on TV, go to Settings → Always-on VPN & Kill Switch.

Troubleshooting

  • Can't connect: Check internet, try a different server, ensure VPN permission was granted
  • Frequent disconnects: Enable Auto-Reconnect, check Wi-Fi signal
  • Split tunnel not working: Disconnect and reconnect after changing settings
  • Widget not updating: Re-add the widget, ensure PremierVPN isn't battery-optimised (Android Settings → Battery → PremierVPN → Unrestricted)
  • No servers showing: Pull down to refresh the server list
