Is it possible to screen mirror from android phone to smart tv using a VPN as it keeps disconnecting when I use this option.
I use Mobdro to watch some football so do need a VPN.

Screen Mirroring works perfect without VPN.

Any help would be appreciated.

Like most things, yes it can be done - depends how much effort you are prepared to put in, I guess - see

This is what I did. Couldn't get mirroring to work so decided the money was worth less than the time I was wasting trying to make it work!

Not sure about free vpn, I use IP Vanish which costs $6.49 a month on a 12 month contract.

Just check to make sure you have a 2nd gen stick, as 1st gen is not VPN compatible. If yours came with an alexa remote you should be fine.

Just managed to upload vpn onto firestick and mobdro and working fine. Thank you for your help. I downloaded Turbo Vpn which is a free app.

Hey buddy I think you are using unreliable VPN so i only recommend reliable and secure like ExpressVPN.
