Apple TV Support

I just learned that Proton VPN doesn’t support Apple TV yet. Other VPNs use Smart DNS to get VPN on Apple TV.

Can any Proton user recommend a solution other than using VPN router ?

And why doesn’t Proton VPN have Smart DNS already ? Is it hard to implement ?

Hi u/stevie_joe20! Thank you for sharing your suggestions with us regarding Apple TV support and Smart DNS. We have received these feature requests before and we’ll be adding your vote to them as well. However, we cannot provide you with a specific timeframe on when this might get implemented. We’d be happy to relay any additional feedback you may have about any of our services internally. We always value our community’s input in shaping and improving our services going forward.

TVOS 17 is coming out soon and is expected to have local DNS support. I hope Proton VPN is ready for it. Other VPNs are already working on an app for the next TVOS 17

Hi, is there a plan for the new AppleTV OS and a native VPN app?

Where are we with the AppleTV VPN App?

I give this thread a push.
Really wish to have an proton vpn option on my Apple TV box to stream movies without geolock

Proton VPN is not supported on tvOS 17 yet

I would also like to see it on the new iOS 17!! Make it happen Proton team! :blush:

Any updates on this? ETA???

And still no ATV app after all this time. I won’t be renewing my annual subscription.

I just checked out multiple posts and found out that after all these years Proton still doesn’t support any smart VPN service, this is kind of insane.

The thread opened 150 days ago and still, they couldn’t develop this feature. What a shame :frowning:

If you can make it work on your iPhone or iPad then you can just mirror you device to the Apple TV.

It’s been awhile now, any solutions with Proton VPN on a Apple TV!
P.S. ProtonVPN needs to remove there reference article from there site since this misleading like click bait.

Thank you. Very much appreciated. Despite the occasional hiccups, Proton has my support as always. I’ll find a temporary workaround.

You can add my vote as well.

No App yet. Hope they release it soon.

In the meantime I’m using r/passepartout . It has a limited (4 hrs) free version to try. But you can add any VPN profile. I use Proton Wireguard and didn’t have any issues yet.

Apple TV support: Work has started, and we’re aiming for a summer 2024 release.

Not my type of solution. But thanks.

Still nothing from Proton team. Most of the big names like Express, Nord didn’t come out with an ATV app for some reason. VPN on Apple devices works differently somehow if I remember correctly. I’m sure they are working on it.

I’m using “VPN Client Bee” app in the mean time. You can use any VPN provider by uploading it’s WireGuard / OpenVPN config file locally to ATV from any computer connected to the same LAN as ATV.

It’s free to use the app this way. Please note I DO NOT endorse the BEE VPN in anyway. And cannot confirm if it’s secure to use ProtonVPN this way. But it works for me now.

I’m hoping more app like this or official WireGuard app comes to ATV soon.

Edit: the app I mentioned is No longer free
