Unfortunately, Apple TV doesn’t support VPN software directly. You will need to install either a Smart DNS (Domain Name Server) on your Apple TV or a VPN on your home router.
Here are easy steps to configure a Smart DNS on your Apple TV device:
- Locate the DNS address from your chosen VPN provider. We recommend NordVPN for Apple TV.
- Turn on your Apple TV and open up “Network” from the Settings menu.
- Navigate to “Wi-Fi” and click on “Configure.”
- From the “Configure” settings, toggle your DNS address from “Automatic” to “Manual.”
- Input the DNS address you have from your VPN.
- Restart your Apple TV, and start streaming!
Note: a Smart DNS is a handy protocol that helps unblock geo-restricted content, however, it does not hide your IP address or provide the same privacy as a full VPN service.
