FAQs

Is it possible to use a VPN on Apple TV? ›

Yes, a recent update of tvOS allows you to download VPN apps, such as NordVPN, making the process of changing your virtual location much easier. All you have to do is subscribe to your favorite VPN service, download the app on Apple TV, and log in.

ExpressVPN is slightly simpler to use, while NordVPN offers one or two more advanced features—so perhaps that's one way to choose between them. With the dedicated IP and Onion/Tor network options, NordVPN certainly does more to cater for those who really want to dig deep into what an internet privacy package can offer.

CyberGhost — CyberGhost can get past almost all the toughest geoblocks and offers specialized customer support for streaming content. PrivateVPN — The stable and reliable connections offered by PrivateVPN are perfect for uninterrupted streaming on Apple TV.

There is no way to install a VPN on your Apple TV. So, you'll need a free VPN that works with routers, instead. Installing a VPN on your router lets you use it on any device connected to your home network, including your Apple TV.

What you'll need to do first is to get a VPN that works on Android, if you don't have one already. Then, navigate over to the Play Store on your Google TV, search for your VPN provider's app and download it. Once you've downloaded the VPN app to your TV, sign in and connect to a VPN server.

ExpressVPN is the best iPhone VPN I've tested, thanks to its excellent privacy, great content unblocking power, and streamlined apps that put the competition to shame. Tons of servers, reliable connections on both Wi-Fi and mobile data, plus excellent customer support make ExpressVPN perfect for iOS.

A fast, reliable VPN will not interfere with your streaming habits and will increase your privacy and security without noticeably slowing down your connection. You can install a VPN on Apple TV directly — simply download the official NordVPN app from the App Store.

Privacy and security winner: NordVPN has more features, but Express has unmatched transparency. ExpressVPN and NordVPN each offer unparalleled security features. Each company boasts a strict no-logging policy that, while challenging to verify, adds peace of mind.

With servers in 105 countries, best-in-class encryption, and ultra-fast speeds that offer minimal buffering, ExpressVPN is the best and most reliable Apple TV VPN.

How do I secure my Apple TV? ›

In the Apple TV app , open the sidebar, then select Settings. Go to Restrictions and enter the passcode if required. Select options to restrict purchases and rentals, allowed content types, and other settings. You must first turn on Restrictions to configure the Restrictions settings.

The easiest way to use NordVPN with Apple TV is by using AirPlay to cast to your Apple TV from your VPN-protected Apple hardware (iPhone, iPad or MacBook running the NordVPN app). This option is only available to Apple users—Windows, Android and other platforms don't support AirPlay.

Proton VPN's free tier is the only truly free VPN we've encountered that's worth using. True, it lacks support for torrenting and doesn't include all the bells and whistles as its paid subscriptions, but Proton VPN's free tier is secure and doesn't put limits on speed, data or usage time like most other free VPNs do.

If you're in the U.S., VPNs are legal, so no, you can't get into trouble for using them. However, if you're in a country that bans VPNs, like China, then yes, you can get into trouble for using them.
