With the new tvOS 17 update, Apple TV users can now enjoy native VPN apps from leading providers. NordVPN is the latest one to follow suit. By using the NordVPN app, you can connect to any of the company’s secure servers worldwide. The app also encrypts all your network traffic and uses the NordLynx protocol to boost your connection speed. This should result in a smooth streaming experience with less buffering, depending on your network and server locations.
NordVPN had previously expressed some concerns about the limitations of native VPNs on tvOS 17. However, it seems that the company has overcome those challenges.
Why would you want a VPN on your Apple TV? There are several benefits, especially if you travel with your device. You can adjust the settings, such as the server location, to bypass geographic restrictions on streaming content. You can watch Foundation or any other show you like, wherever you are. You can also avoid using the hotel’s cable and stream your preferred content instead.
Before tvOS 17, setting up a VPN on Apple TV was very difficult. You had to install a VPN client on your router, which was not user-friendly. Now, you can simply download apps like NordVPN's new app and enjoy a more secure and flexible streaming experience.
