With the Proton VPN Apple TV app, you can stay secure and watch your favorite content from a wide selection of popular streaming services. This includes services such as Netflix, Hulu, or Amazon Prime, but also many regional services around the world(new window).  

The Proton VPN Apple TV app is available to everyone with a paid Proton VPN subscription. In most cases, you’ll also need an account with the streaming service you wish to watch. Note also that Apple only only added VPN support starting with tvOS 17, so you’ll need an Apple TV running tvOS 17+.

1. Open the App Store app, search for Proton VPN, and select Get to download the app.
