Installed Surfshark on my Sony Bravia 2021 tv which has Google tv shows it working when you look at the app, but when you go to the input on settings and check network it shows that I am still hooked up to the same wifi as usual. Is there away to make the tv system go through Surfshark. I am on bell fibre and I am not a wizard with computers but I get by.

Welcome! If it’s a built in Google TV app into the tv OS, try split tunneling in SS and run that Google TV through the VPN as it may be bypassing it at the moment. Good Luck!

All paid apps need to be bypassed by the vpn.
Thanks for the info, yes it is a built in Google tv . But what is splitting the SS tunneling the tv?
Thanks
This should help give you a little insight and explain how to accomplish it. You can chose to only route certain apps through the VPN which is what I do
Great, the page explain everything thank you so much

This week I installed both Surfshark and IP Vanish on my Sony Android Smart TV. Everything was working correctly when I would launch the VPN app. The minute I would pick a country to connect, my TV would say your ethernet connection has been disconnected. I would basically lose my internet connection. Not allowing me to run any apps whatsoever. I experienced the same issue with both VPN services. I would have to re-start my TV in order to get a connection again. I have my smart TV hard wired to my internet. Has anyone experienced this problem? Turning on your VPN would disconnect your internet connection?
