Anyone know of Apple will consider allowing VPN software installs?
I know that appletv allows software installs but only some not all
Flowvpn works for me
i’m using the hide.me app. works great.
I have a VPN and I have it on my router so every device in the house is connected. However I’ve had no luck using the Apple TV for foreign content - as you have to change your Apple Store to the corresponding country.
So, a couple of easy workarounds. I watched several British shows setting my vpn to London by using the browser on my smart tv, instead of using the Apple TV. It was not ideal, but it worked.
Option two is easier. When I was watching a show from Australia I pulled it up on my iPad and then stream the iPad to the Apple TV. Some videos don’t allow that, in which case do the screen share. Still less convenient than using the Apple TV but it works.
One thing I have not solved though. In the event anyone can help. I have Sling and in my town there are no local channels. I’ve tried to trick it by being in NYC, LA, etc. with no luck.
You need DNS, I use it easily with my Apple TV, expeessVPN has a DNS, but I’m currently using ControlD. You can try it for $4 a month, and see if it helps, happy to help if you need assistance setting it up
I have expressvpn. I’ll try to figure this out. Im not that familiar with DNS. Is that something I do on the router or in the Apple TV settings?
ExpressVPN has a DNS function called Mediastreamer which can allow you to see foreign streams. It works well with Netflix, BBC iPlayer, Prime Video. It doesn’t work with Paramount and TVNZ for some reason. You have to set it up and the instructions are on the website.

Waiting for ExpressVPN to release their tv VPN app.
tvOS 17 supports vpn apps. Check out this post：https://www.reddit.com/r/appletv/comments/16nf1vj/working\_vpn\_on\_apple\_tv\_tv\_os17/
And I use Safeshell for its fast speeds, extensive servers, and the feature to connect to multiple routes through split tunneling.
Thanks I have nordvpn I’ll keep checking that Reddit for updates
I use one on my Apple TV and it works great. No more streaming from the phone or tablet!
