Cybersecurity company Surfshark has launched a VPN app for Apple TV, enabling users to bolster their privacy while streaming on the set-top box. It’s available to all Surfshark users at no additional cost.

Justas Pukys, VPN product manager at Surfshark, says the main reason for using a VPN for Apple TV is to protect your online privacy. The videos or shows you watch can be tracked and used for targeted ads. The new app will allow Apple TV viewers to encrypt their traffic and hide their IP address, potentially protecting them from online tracking and, as a result, from targeted ads, he adds. 

Surfshark now offers VPN apps for Chrome, Firefox, iOS, macOS, Android, Windows, Linux, FireTV, Edge, and now — Apple TV. Surfshark offers unlimited simultaneous connections for users, so they may download the VPN app to all of their supported devices at no extra cost. To get Surfshark VPN for Apple TV:

° Go to the App Store on your Apple TV;

° Search for Surfshark VPN;

° If you’re not a Surfshark user yet, choose a subscription plan. You can purchase it directly on your Apple TV;

° Log in and connect.

Surfshark’s Dedicated IP feature is also available on Apple TV, which would allow viewers to use the same IP address for each viewing session.
