Zoog VPN Apple TV installation
Before we start an active ZoogVPN subscription is required and your device must be connected to the Internet.
The following guide will take you through the steps required to install Zoog VPN on your Digital media player Apple TV. Apple TV users can establish Virtual Private Networks (VPN) to encrypt digital data, provide network anonymity and unblock streaming services directly on their Apple TV. However, Apple TV does not provide support for setting up a VPN. Therefore, we will show you other means of using your Zoog VPN with Apple TV.
You can use three methods to set up a VPN on your Apple TV.
- Via a Wireless Router Running a VPN
- Via a Laptop running a VPN and connected as a Wi-Fi hotspot
- Via PC or Laptop connected with VPN as Ethernet
Connect Apple TV to a Wireless Router Running a VPN
Follow these simple steps to set up a VPN with Apple TV using a wireless router.
Step 1 – Get an active VPN Subscription
We’re assuming at this point you already have an active Zoog VPN subscription. If not, please ensure you have one.
Step 2 – Get a VPN Router
You’ll need a VPN router, the DDWRT router is the most suitable one.
Step 3 – Setup VPN on Router
Now, you need to set up the VPN on your router first to run it through the Apple TV. Click here for the Zoog VPN setup wizard for DDWRT Router.
Step 4 – Connect Apple TV with Wireless VPN Router
To connect Apple TV with the Wireless VPN router all you need to do is select the correct network.
Switch on your Apple TV device > go to Settings > General > Network > Configure Wi-Fi > Select Your Wi-Fi Network > Enter Password > Done!
