In order to unblock/watch US Netflix, Hulu Plus, HBO GO, Lifetime, WWE Network, or Crackle on your Apple TV, you need to set up a virtual private network (VPN) first. VPN allows you to change your virtual country. Thereby, you can bypass geographic restrictions and stream geoblocked content which normally would not be available in your region. If you already own a Netflix account, you can change your Netflix region via VPN and watch US Netflix as a result.
Apple TV does not have a VPN client. In order to enable and set up a VPN on it, there are two main methods. You can either set up a VPN on a VPN-enabled router and connect Apple TV to it. Alternatively, you can enable Network sharing on your computer (PC or Mac). Afterward, you need to connect your Apple TV to that computer, and you’re done. Both methods are relatively easy if you follow the instructions properly.
When setting up VPN on any device, remember to consider speed/support/reliability as key features to choosing your VPN service provider. Try to choose a VPN provider that offers apps for iPhone, iPad, Android, PC, and Mac, decent support, and good global coverage. ExpressVPN has proven to the best in our tests.
