Theoretically, a VPN can work with any device that is capable of connecting to the internet. We're talking about: Computers – VPNs exist with clients for virtually any popular computer operating system. Windows, Mac OS, Linux, Chromebooks, or whatever you are using as your main computer, you can probably find a VPN app that works with it. Phones, tablets, and other mobile devices – VPNs also work on popular mobile operating systems. Android and iOS have apps, but support for other mobile operating systems is disappearing (as are devices that run them). Routers – If you can run a version of a VPN on your router you can protect everything connected to that router. But VPN routers aren't particularly common, and most routers that can be converted to VPN routers have limited memory and processing power, meaning they will struggle to run the VPN software. Even so, this is the way to get a VPN connection for a particular device when nothing else will work. SmartTVs and TV boxes – VPNs support most Smart TVs and TV boxes like Apple TV. You'll need to check the website of the VPN service you are interested in to be sure, but all three of our top picks in this article support a range of SmartTVs and similar devices.
