For decades, Hollywood studios have profited by licensing their extensive film and TV show libraries to as many channels and streaming services as possible across numerous countries. This explains why a show available on Max in one country might be on Netflix in another, or unavailable altogether. Savvy viewers have long used VPNs (virtual private networks) to expand their streaming options. Simply changing your location from the US to the UK, for example, can grant you access to titles like Friends and The Office on Netflix. This is easy on phones, tablets, or PCs, where installing and activating a VPN is straightforward via the device’s app store. However, streaming through a VPN on a TV requires a bit more effort. Fortunately, there are several ways to access VPN-protected content on the biggest screen in your home.
This guide walks you through unlocking geo-blocked content on your TV. If you don't already have a VPN subscription, consider choosing a service from our list of best VPNs. With the exception of Proton VPN, we strongly recommend avoiding free VPN options.
The easiest way to install a VPN on your smart TV is to download it from the built-in app store – if your preferred VPN is available. Not all smart TV operating systems support VPN apps. Amazon Fire TV has the widest selection, but you can also install any VPN's Android app on Android TV or Google TV from the Google Play Store.
Here's how to use a VPN on each smart TV model that supports them:
Amazon’s Fire TV operating system offers a vast catalog of content through Prime Video. Its user-friendly interface makes installing a VPN easy. Navigate to the Fire TV app store and search for the VPN service you subscribe to. Numerous options are available, including many from our best VPNs list. Download the app, log in, and connect to the VPN. Select a server location in the country whose Prime Video library you want to access. You can also watch other streaming services by downloading their apps and logging in. For complete instructions, see How to add a VPN on Fire TV.
Google TV is a smart TV operating system with a sleek user interface that supports thousands of apps, including VPNs and streaming platforms. As with Fire TV, download your VPN app, enter your credentials, and activate it before launching the streaming service you want to use. For more details, see How to stream using a VPN on your Google TV or Chromecast.
To install a VPN directly on your Apple TV, you need tvOS 17 or later. If not, follow our alternative workarounds with AirPlay or Google Cast. If you have tvOS 17 or later, setting up a VPN on your Apple TV is simple, but ensure your VPN subscription is compatible with Apple TV. For more details, see How to use a VPN on your Apple TV.
The simplest way to use a VPN on any TV is to use AirPlay or Google Cast from a VPN-enabled device.
The sections above describe how to get VPN streaming access on a single TV. If you want a whole-house solution – allowing you to watch UK Netflix on every device on your home network – you’ll need to access the VPN at the router level.
This is an advanced setup and the most challenging method. It requires installing a new router or making major modifications to your existing one, often involving installing custom firmware (which usually voids the hardware manufacturer’s warranty). You’ll also need an expert user who can engage and disengage the VPN and customize its settings, as leaving it on constantly can interfere with non-streaming activities, including online shopping.
A streamlined whole-home option is to try the AirCove router models from ExpressVPN. These routers include warranty coverage and support from the company.
