Apple TV to Support VPN Apps on tvOS 17

Nice addition, I was really hoping this release they would provide a dedicated ‘Home’ app. Considering it is a home hub, its pretty shocking that it still doesnt have this functionality.

Nice. This makes it easier to bypass password sharing restrictions on Netflix etc.

Hoping and praying Tailscale builds an app for this.

Finally. How many years have we waited? Amazon flat out blocks you from streaming content in your home region if you happen to be elsewhere, and I have some shows I want to catch up on.

The only streaming service I continue to use is MLB, but MLB and nearly every other service I had blocks VPN.

It’ll be nice for a Tailscale type of app to circumvent Netflix, but I would have preferred Private Relay such that Apple can leverage their enormous reach to force services to allow it.

Only apps? Will it be able to natively connect to an L2TP VPN like a Mac or iPhone can?

That’s huge tbh. VPN and ESPN+ would be huge for avoiding blackouts

Eat your heart out Netflix!

My home is my VPN

Ill be curious to see how much of an implementation they support as there are limitation when it comes to regions and content.

I am excited for the idea of maybe running tailscale on an AppleTV!

Would be very useful if there was a web browser

Perfect for hotel Wi-Fi

About fucking time! A VERY welcome edition.

MLB in absolute shambles that they can’t enforce the malignant bullshit they greedily signed on to

Please work with NFL gamepass international

Cool! I’ve been waiting for this

Now THAT is a feature I want. Above everything else, I want VPN support the most.

Does this mean I can use MLB TV for my own teams games and get rid of cable finally

Finally, bye bye geoblocking

Finally, I can watch F1TV on my Apple TV instead of the fire stick!
