VPNs with a native Apple TV app

Which VPN has an actual Apple TV app?

Proton VPN and NordVPN both ship native tvOS applications, so no router configuration is needed. PureVPN and FastestVPN support Android TV but not Apple TV, which means covering an Apple TV with either one requires running the VPN on your router instead.

Apple only opened tvOS to VPN applications relatively recently, and provider support is still uneven. Before that, the only way to route an Apple TV through a VPN was at the router, which slows the whole household and cannot be toggled per device. This page separates providers with a real tvOS app from those still requiring that workaround.

The rule for this page. Only providers shipping a native Apple TV application. Ordered by platform score.

What did not qualify, and why

Excluded providers are named rather than omitted. If one of them is the VPN you already pay for, this tells you exactly which requirement it misses.

Provider	Why it is not on this list
PureVPN	No Apple TV app. Android TV is supported, so a router install is the workaround for tvOS.
FastestVPN	No Apple TV app. Android TV is supported, so a router install is the workaround for tvOS.
