Apple TV app
Buried in Apple's tvOS 17 announcement is support for 3rd party VPN apps on tvOS. It would be amazing if Proton VPN had a tvOS app.

I've used the proton config files at the router level for apple tv amongst other clients. Installing the proton app at the Apple tv level would increase speed for sure. I see Surfshark has an app that I tested. The speed increased quite a bit. I had trouble getting the app to connect until I added one of their DNS IP's wo the wan tab in the router. If proton gets this app running I can ditch Surfshark all together.

Definitely! The same for me. Want to cancel my nordvpn subscription. It is so nice to have a vpn app on the tv Box (and switch countries) just from your remote control. There seems to be an app for android TV and amazon fire stick, so why not for the apple tv 4k Box?

tvOS has now for some time supported VPN apps. There is no ProtonVPN app for tvOS. It is annoying to have a second VPN subscription from another provider just for the Apple TV. Please hurry

I am thrilled to see this listed as "planned"...I cannot wait to ditch my current VPN provider as I have more trust in Proton than I do in Nord, SurfShark, etc.

Please Proton Team, don't forget "NetShield" on the AppleTV App. That's the most important thing for me. But maybe it's not possible with Apple's terms and conditions :/

A must have for the Apple TV many vpn providers have now added support for the platform.

It really would be good if the team @ Proton could focus on the android TV app too, this is lacking so many basic features that it looks like it's just been forgotten about.

I'm about to take out a NordVPN subscription to use it on my Apple TV. As a Canadian living in Mexico, a VPN on my TV is the holy grail... Now that Apple TV finally allows it, you should adapt quickly and offer it as the other VPN services. Let's go!

Apple TV support would be great especially as the Apple TV hosts a powerful processor that would ensure great VPN performance (like on latest Xiaomi google TV with the ARM quad core processor), no need to configure fireguard in a router.
I see that other providers start to offer it and it's a must have. -

This would be awesome! I use my AppleTV to watch most things, and will be moving overseas in a year, so would love to have my ProtonVPN on AppleTV so I can continue streaming programming from home.

Proton seems to be one of the last VPNs to support tvOS 17. Please don’t keep us waiting too much longer!

It’s about time to get a tvOS app, since all competition to Proton is already there! Please accelerate development for those paid users :)

Amen. The moment I realized my TV had a VPN feature, I searched the App Store for ProtonVPN.

Happy ProtonVPN customer here, this is a massively important feature for use. I've already looked at other VPN vendors such as IP Varnish who now support tvOS 17.
As this is new, I will give Proton time to announce/update the public on tvOS but if there's no movement come my renewal in late 2024 I will consider other platforms.

Is there a status on that?

With VPN nows now appearing for AppleTV OS 17, can we please get a ProtonVPN app for AppleTV?

Since Apple tvOS 17 supports now 3rd party VPN apps, it would be great if Proton could port the iOS app to tvOS. That would make my life much easier when it comes to access geo-blocked content.
Thank you! -

if you support Apple TV, please make the documentation discoverable on your site. I suspect you do not support Apple TV, please make that clear on your site as well and consider supporting it.

AndroidTV has the ability to use the ProtonVPN application, so when or will we see the same for AppleTV?
