Having a VPN is common and sometimes necessary. We may need to have a program of this type to access certain pages or applications that may be blocked. Also to navigate with greater security in public networks or simply hide the real IP. Although we can also use this type of service on television, it is not always easy and accessible. Now NordVPN and other apps are going to make it easier to have a VPN on TV. We are going to tell you how.
It should be mentioned that NordVPN is one of the most popular VPN apps. It has many servers and offers good performance. Therefore, that we can now use it on some televisions is good news for those who want to have a service of this type installed and not have problems.
Native VPN on Apple TV
If you have an Apple TV, you’re in luck. They have announced that they are going to have native support in tvOS 17. What does this mean? You will not have to carry out complex VPN configurations at the network level. Basically, you will be able to install native applications and be able to use them on your TV.
This is something very useful for those who travel with an Apple TV 4K, for example. They will be able to continue watching their favorite content, thanks to using a VPN. They will be able to navigate as if they were in another physical place, even though they really are thousands of kilometers away. It is one of the advantages of having this type of program.
Until now, in order to have a VPN on Apple TV, it was necessary to install the program on the router. This is a problem, since it is not an easy task and, in addition, not all routers are compatible. Now it’s going to be a lot easier and we’ll see apps appear to take advantage of the new native support.
This is not a novelty, since other options such as Chromecast or Fire TV do have native support. But now, thanks to this change to Apple TV, it will be easier to have a VPN on television as it is a very popular model.
NordVPN will have an app
From The Verge, they have contacted some services such as NordVPN and have indicated that they are working to create an app for Apple TV. It is one of the most popular and best performing VPNs. Therefore, it is good news that providers are already appearing that have in mind to launch a program.
However, they also indicate that for now it is necessary to analyze certain limitations and launch a product that really meets the needs of users. They say they need more time to see everything. This is something that, predictably, will happen sooner or later and we will not only see NordVPN, but many other well-known applications that start to be present on Apple TV.
As you can see, now Apple TV will also have native support for VPN. This is good news, since it was something demanded by many users. Therefore, having a VPN for television is going to be more accessible and easier for many. You will be able to configure your Smart TV with VPN.
