Control D app / DNS configuration for Android TV


Hello,
I am a Control D user, and I am trying to set up my profile on an Android TV device.
However, I am facing two roadblocks:

  • The standard mobile application cannot be installed on Android TV (the system blocks the APK installation or isn't compatible with TV architecture).
  • Third-party DNS tunneling apps on Android TV (like DNSNet) do not properly handle Control D resolution or bypass the required routing.
    Since Android TV lacks a native "Private DNS" (DoT) settings menu like regular Android smartphones, what is the officially recommended way to use a custom Control D profile directly on an Android TV device without routing through the entire home router?
    Is there a specific TV-compatible app, an open-source client, or an alternative configuration method you recommend for Android TV?
    Thank you for your help.
