I’ve just added Surfshark VPN to my Apple TV setup, and I’m pleased to share how straightforward it was. Here’s a quick guide on getting it up and running.
- Subscribe to Surfshark
I started by subscribing to Surfshark. My 2 reasons were that Surfahark allows unlimited simultaneous connections so I’ll be able to use it on many of my other devices + they offered a discount code sharkreddit pinned in this sub.
- Download the Apple TV app
I went to the App Store on my Apple TV, searched for Surfshark VPN, and downloaded the app. It was simple and quick.
- Log In and Connect
After installing, I logged into the app using the same credentials I used to subscribe. I chose to connect to the fastest server, which the app recommends, but you can select any server you prefer.
Important Note: This exact setup applies only to Apple TVs that run tvOS (including AppleTV HD and all generations of Apple TV 4K). If you have an earlier model, I guess you already know that you’ll need to install a VPN on your router instead since these older versions don’t support third-party apps…
That’s pretty much it on how to install Surfshark on Apple TV! My Apple TV is streaming content seamlessly so far. I didn’t have to deal with any complicated router setups but hope this helps you too!
