Get ExpressVPN and make the most of your Apple TV

The easiest way to use ExpressVPN on Apple TV is with MediaStreamer, which can deliver an enhanced viewing experience no matter where you are in the world.

Setup is a snap. Just follow these step-by-step instructions on using MediaStreamer on your Apple TV (4th gen, 5th gen, tvOS) or Apple TV (1st, 2nd, 3rd gen).

Although MediaStreamer can allow you to watch content that would otherwise be unavailable to you, it does not offer the same privacy protection as a VPN. For full VPN benefits, connect your Apple TV to the internet through a router with the ExpressVPN app for routers.

See why customers love ExpressVPN

Using @ExpressVPN and am super happy to be watching US Netflix right now from my Apple TV. The selection is just sooo much better.

I recommend setting up ExpressVPN (it has good customer service) on an iPad, then using Airplay and an Apple TV to watch shows on your TV.

Wow, @expressvpn thank you for the stable connection, allowing me to stream and game with minimal issues on my rural connection! First #vpn to do that well for me.

Frequently asked questions

Does ExpressVPN work on all generations of Apple TV?

Yes! ExpressVPN’s MediaStreamer service works on tvOS (5th gen, 4th gen) and older generations of Apple TV.

Is Apple TV+ the same thing as Apple TV?

No. Apple TV is a small digital media player that connects to your television, with apps that let you watch content from the iTunes store and numerous streaming services including Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon Video. Apple TV+ is Apple’s own streaming service, offering original movies and TV shows. You can watch Apple TV+ from your desktop, laptop, tablet, or smartphone via tv.apple.com. Apple TV+ customers can also stream from the Apple TV app, which works with iPhone, iPad, Apple TV, iPod Touch, and Mac. The Apple TV app is also available on some Samsung smart TVs, as well as Amazon Fire TV and Roku platforms.

Does MediaStreamer offer the same protection as VPN?

No. MediaStreamer changes your device’s apparent location but without the privacy benefits of tunneling and encryption. To use Apple TV with all the privacy benefits of a VPN, connect it to a VPN-enabled router using the ExpressVPN app for routers.

Does ExpressVPN keep logs?

ExpressVPN is first and foremost a privacy company and therefore stores no activity logs and no connection logs. ExpressVPN also never stores any data that would allow anyone to trace a specific network activity or behavior back to an individual user. Read more about ExpressVPN’s commitment to privacy and policy toward logs.

Can I use ExpressVPN on other devices at the same time?

Yes! ExpressVPN is available on a wide array of devices including computers, smartphones, smart TVs and streaming media players, and game consoles. You can install ExpressVPN on as many devices as you wish, and up to five devices can be connected to ExpressVPN simultaneously using the same subscription. Or install ExpressVPN on your Wi-Fi router to connect even more.
