If I can pretend I live in Europe and watch my NFL games on a TV instead of on a computer and using an annoying HDMI to Ethernet to HDMI adaptor to use my TV as a computer monitor I’m sold.
Apple exposes secret APIs to Disney companies (Including Disney+ and ESPN) as an example that tell the app that a VPN connection is active.
It is one of the most anti competitive moves in the streaming market to see the exceptions Apple makes for their business interests while knee capping the competition.
Oh yes. Gimme some Stremio too
so I can throw the Android tvs out ! Closer we are getting.
Finally! Hopefully they don’t nerf it to block geo-locked content in apps. I’ll be excited if I can get nfl game pass with a vpn instead of paying the ridiculous fee to YouTube for Sunday ticket.
I just ended up setting one up on my router.
I’m on the beta and I can’t find the option?
I like how Apple continues to facilitate pirating. Just like they did with the iPod.
Tim Apple FTW
Apple is playing it smart by working with VPNs rather than trying as hard as they can to forget that they exist.
Wonder if we’ll see a Tailscale appletv app soon?
International NFL GamePass ![]()
Nice. I can watch UCI Downhill World Cups now.
DNS based apps work well for my AppleTV - relatively issue free for years. Unlocator DNS and SmartDNS
Great news. I’m currently having to switch between my home router and VPN router whenever I want to access geo restricted content. An app would make it a little bit easier.
If you don’t own a VPN compatible router, it’s a good investment if you want VPN access on any device regardless.
This is unexpectedly rad. Now make a tiny travel chromecast style version and kick the money printer into hyperdrive.
Hate how tiny the clock is now.
I just updated to latest beta version of tvOS 17 on my Apple TV (A1625) but I’m not seeing several of the new features including VPN inside Settings > General. Is it only that the latest model of Apple TV getting VPN?
They’ll be able to spare the resources once they’ve finished making Calculator.app for iPad
Trying to use a VPN on my ipad to watch local hockey games on ESPN+, the espn app will simply block any video saying I need to be off a VPN to use video features. Netflix would prob do the same thing.
What would be the best way to use a vpn to do this?
Unifi needs to release WiFiman for Apple TV asap so I can Unifi Teleport (VPN) back to my parents household where the Netflix is registered.
