Why do I need a VPN for Apple TV?

Apple TV is a digital media player console developed and sold by Apple. You can download and access streaming apps such as Netflix, Prime Video, Max, Hulu, Peacock, Paramount Plus, ESPN+, and more through Apple TV. Additionally, you can enjoy Apple’s original programming, workouts, gaming, and songs via Apple TV+, Apple Fitness+, Apple Arcade, and Apple Music.

So, why do you need an Apple TV VPN? Despite all of Apple TV’s entertainment possibilities, all online streaming has drawbacks, no matter the device. These include:

Privacy Risks

Online streaming may be convenient, but that doesn’t mean it won’t leave you vulnerable to online threats. Streaming content on your Apple TV may expose you to third-party snooping and even hacking attempts. With a VPN, though, your internet connection will be bolstered with an added layer of encryption. This helps safeguard your internet traffic and better ensures your Apple TV streaming activity remains private and shielded from snoopers.

ISP Throttling

When you’re trying to watch your favorite TV series or movie, there’s nothing more frustrating than constant buffering. Unfortunately, your ISP may be the culprit. That’s because they can monitor your internet usage. And when you use lots of bandwidth, they often slow down your connection. However, a VPN makes it more difficult for your ISP to track your connection and throttle it, leading to a smoother Apple TV streaming experience overall.

Firewalls

Firewalls can be crucial for network security. However, overly restrictive firewalls can make your Apple TV difficult to use. Suppose you want to use your Apple TV to stream on campus or at a hotel, for example. In that case, strict firewall settings may prevent that possibility, interfere with AirPlay, or cause your Apple TV to work unexpectedly. With a VPN, though, you can bypass such firewalls without compromising the network’s overall security.
