How to install Surfshark on Apple TV

VPN
1

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!

Hi, thanks for sharing this guide with the community, we appreciate your input!

Installed yesterday and it works well.

Oh they finally added a native app?! Wow! I’ll download that when I get home tonight.

The only issue I see thus far is one cannot select a server manually. The only option is fastest server. Somehow I get routed across the country to Seattle WA which adds significant latency.

wooohoo, this day finally came!

Im getting an error when trying to log in.

Hey there. Thank you for bringing this issue to light. By design you should be able to navigate between the different servers using your remote. In this case, we’d suggest reinstalling the Surfshark app to see if that fixes the issue. If the issue persists, please get in touch with us at [email protected] or via live chat for further assistance. We appreciate your feedback.

Not seeing that option. I can navigate between different countries, but I cannot navigate between different cities within the USA.

Pretty limited app compared to the android version.
No auto start on boot, no option for static ip address allocation.

Are there any plans for this?

Same issue here. It does not allow me to manually select server locations within the US
