Apple TV VPNs: Picking the Best Streaming Buddy

USAWed Dec 11 2024
When you're on the hunt for a VPN to boost your Apple TV experience, you've got a few options to consider. NordVPN, for one, might seem like a solid choice, but don't be fooled by its impressive server count. Using it on your Apple TV can be a bit of a chore. The app isn't exactly user-friendly – browsing servers feels more like a scavenger hunt than a smooth experience. And forget about streaming smoothly; I faced issues with every foreign Netflix library and even Hulu. Not ideal if you're all about the content. Now let's spill the beans on PrivadoVPN. It's not the fastest kid on the block, but it gets the job done for casual streamers. The perks? You can choose servers based on how well they perform, and favorites can be easily added. Downside? No search option for server locations. Still, it connected fast and kept my streams buffering-free. Just be cautious with the free plan – it's got a tight 10GB monthly limit. Then there's Proton VPN, a big player in the VPN world. Its new Apple TV app is easy to navigate, with countries neatly listed in alphabetical order. Smooth streaming on all the major platforms too. The catch? This app is as basic as can be. No settings, no favorites, and forget about specific cities. It's functional but far from fancy. So, what's the takeaway? If you're after a seamless streaming experience on your Apple TV, these VPNs have their pros and cons. Pick what works best for you, whether it's browsing simplicity or staying within a budget.
