THEVPN, which help protect your personal data and unblock certain geographically restricted content, are increasingly popular. You've been able to use these tools on iPhone, iPad or Mac for a long time. And since this year, thanks to the tvOS 17 update, Apple also offers support for VPNs on Apple TVs. Before this update, it was necessary to install the VPN on a router, to which the Apple TV then connects.
And today, thanks to this new feature in tvOS, ExpressVPN is launching its official application for Apple TV. To take advantage of this new feature, you mustbe an ExpressVPN user, then download the application from the App Store, from the Apple TV. As for connecting to the ExpressVPN account, it is done by scanning a QR code with your smartphone. Once everything is configured, this VPN, which is one of the most popular in the world, gives you access to 105 servers around the world.
It’s here: Say hello to the brand new ExpressVPN app for Apple TV.
Enjoy the complete range of privacy and security benefits provided by ExpressVPN as you browse and stream your favorite entertainment on Apple TV.

“Like all of our apps, ExpressVPN for Apple TV is powered by Lightway, our modern VPN protocol, which delivers unmatched reliability and consistently fast speeds for a streaming experience with minimal buffering.”, adds the developer. The new app is directly included in the ExpressVPN subscription. Furthermore, this indicates that the launch of the app is only the beginning, since improvements are already on the agenda.
An improvement for Android TV
While VPN support is new for Apple TV, it has been around for a while for Android TV. And in its announcement, ExpressVPN indicates that it also offers some improvements for the existing Android TV app. For example, connecting to the ExpressVPN account on Android TV becomes easier thanks to the QR code. The developer also offers a dark mode, as well as an easier way to change servers on the app.
Otherwise, for those who use a TV whose platform is not supported by ExpressVPN, it offers an alternative: Aircove. In essence, it is a special Wifi router that directly integrates this VPN. This makes it possible to secure the television connection, but also those of other devices that use the same WiFi network.
