Take back your internet with a risk-free Apple TV VPN.
The easiest way to use a VPN on your Apple TV is by installing ExpressVPN on your Wi-Fi router. You’ll enjoy the full privacy and security benefits of a VPN on all devices connected to your router, including smart TVs and game consoles. A few taps on your phone or computer lets you turn your router’s VPN on and off and change server locations, all from your sofa. Plus, you won’t have to remember to connect your devices to your VPN—all devices on your home network are protected.
Ready to get ExpressVPN on your router? It’s easy, and we’ll walk you through the setup step-by-step.
You can also use our MediaStreamer service, which is included in your subscription and can deliver an enhanced viewing experience no matter where you are in the world. Setup is a snap. Just follow these step-by-step instructions on using MediaStreamer for Apple TV (4th gen, 5th gen, tvOS) or Apple TV (1st, 2nd, 3rd gen).
Note that although MediaStreamer can allow you to watch content that would otherwise be unavailable to you, it does not offer the same privacy protection as a VPN.

I recommend setting up ExpressVPN (it has good customer service) on an iPad, then using Airplay and an Apple TV to watch shows on your TV.
Wow, @expressvpn thank you for the stable connection, allowing me to stream and game with minimal issues on my rural connection!

No. Apple TV is a small digital media player that connects to your television, with apps that let you watch content from the iTunes store and numerous streaming services including Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon Prime Video. Apple TV+ is Apple’s own streaming service, offering original movies and TV shows. You can watch Apple TV+ from your desktop, laptop, tablet, or smartphone via tv.apple.com. Apple TV+ customers can also stream from the Apple TV app, which works with iPhone, iPad, Apple TV, iPod Touch, and Mac. The Apple TV app is also available on some Samsung smart TVs, as well as Amazon Fire TV and Roku platforms.
It’s easy! After connecting to the VPN, simply launch Netflix or any other apps on your Apple TV as you normally would. If you’re having issues accessing an app, get in touch with our Support Team.
