Hi I’m a complete beginner, turned on to your content by accident, and now it’s mostly what I watch, so thanks for that, anyway I’m contemplating setting up VPN (possible vpnexpress since it seems to be the most popular and you seem to favour it the most. I am intrigued by the idea of being able to setup my VPN on a guest network. So I have a couple of questions. 1. Would the process be the same as setting it up on my main network 2. Essentially would I be creating a network under another name. 3. Could I create the same thing with multiple VPN provider switching my devices between them as needed. 4. How would it effect the use of the router 5. My new router is probably gonna be with Vodafone would that be good enough or would I need to purchase something else.
I tried configuring the OpenVPN on my router it didn't work on my Apple TV. However, the location address did successfully change on another computer. But the change wasn't recognized on the Apple TV.
I’m overseas using the Apple TV 4th gen. Have ExpressVPN as well. Having problems using Hulu now and a few other apps. If I get that other Asus router, would I connect it the Wi-Fi router I already have? Then put the express vpn on that router and connect the Apple TV to that room r do I have to have two different Wi-Fi accounts?
Doesn't this put your whole router through the tunnel though (All your outgoing devices in that network)? Or can you configure the .ovpn file so that your apple TV device is the only outgoing device that's being encrypted? Any tips for this? Please reply!
Josh, I just wanted to say thank you...it worked! Been trying to get Apple TV connected to Surfshark since February and gave up after multiple tries with a few different Surfshark tech support reps. Just came across your video today and all is working beautifully now. Using OpenVPN was what the techs were missing. Thank you!
We are in Iran have to use vpn to accesses many apps likes TH-cam and also we couldn’t use Apple TV unfortunately , I am interested in watching tv , and I am trying to use Apple TV via vpn , thanx , viva liberty freedom for all people ❤❤
I've always considered applying a VPN at the router level but I am hesitant because while using NordVPN, certain apps will just not load for no reason and it is fixed by stopping the VPN. If you apply a VPN on a router level, is there a way to whitelist certain apps or devices entirely from the VPN?
Great question! I don't know of a white list feature per se, but what you can do is setup a VPN on your guest network and make the primary network free of the VPN. That way, you can connect your Apple TV to the guest network (with a VPN) and then your computer or whatever device you want to access these other apps to the regular network. Make sense?
trust me when is ay vpn router makes it very easy to be on vpn or not ... depending on your router it will SLOW DOWN the router SEVERLY and i dont recommend it any more cuz of this
Hi,very helpfull bu still I do have a question. I just want my Apple TV to be seen as it would be hosted in another country. I would go fot the option 1, means enabling a VPN on my router. If I do so, all my devices at home are seen as I am in the country tha i selected. This is not what I want. I only want my apple TV, or better my DisneyChanel APP being seen abroad. Is there any suggestion how to go around this limit. Thank you, great Video again. BR
I currently live in Angola Africa. I am trying to understand how to use the fiber optic Wi-Fi router the cable company provided but it doesn’t have VPN. I don t know if I should by a new fiber router or go about trying to learn flash router. Pls help!
Good video. And a big let down for the Apple TV product line. I'm assuming the new 3rd gen still land proper VPN support, the reason why I'm sticking with alternatives.
Can I replace my provider router with an asus router and it will still work? I mean i pay 50 bucks a month for this stupid router and i cannot use a vpn
Can anyone provide a list of options for routers that can be configured? I am in China and have a Huawei router but my configuration pages are written in Mandarin and I can not read it. I can't find a list in the video notes so I am stuck at this point. I did use ExpressVPN to add a static DNS IP address to my new Apple TV but it will not work at all for TH-cam (confirmed by ExpressVPN and is not working with Disney either. Works with Netflix but spotty.
If I add a VPN to my router, will that slow anything down? I play a lot of online video games and I live overseas (so I'm trying to get U.S. services). Also do you know if Fritz! Box supports VPN?
This question may have already been answered but if I were to buy a new Asus router capable of adding a VPN, does this router need to replace my ISP router or can it just connect to the ISP router?
There is a reason that ISPs supply router-modems and it's not for the benefit of the consumer. I'd go without internet before having one and I've not gone without internet since the mid '80s.
Hi I hope you can answer my question so If I buy a apple tv 4k 2021 I cant a vpn like your last video on this subject I feel quite sad those methods in this video are too hard for me to do thank you for the tutorial many thanks
i wish it would be just like the old gen it was so easy to set it up only for the apple tv now i have to do it for the router which i hate tbh but great vid
I don't know if it is the case with Apple TV (I don't own one) but I have had other devices which hard-code the DNS and some had the separate field for a DNS server. There were workarounds which involved attaching to the console somehow and changing certain key values, not ideal. Just wondering if you have split your network to allow certain devices that don't need geo-location spoof to go the normal way or are you just turning on the VPN ad-hoc in order to watch the content and then turning it off when it is not needed. Thanks, I have been thinking of trying the Apple TV and this is good information.
Thanks, Wayne! My router has an app that allows me to easily turn the VPN on and off ad-hoc, so that's what we tend to do. But I've done it before where I set up the guest network to have the VPN and the other network to be VPN-free.
Good stuff. I appreciate your trailblazing this subject. I live in Costa Rica and would love to put the VPN on my router but then I run into trouble that the CR bank won't allow access from any computer outside of CR.
The good news, Rob, is that with a high quality router, you can turn the VPN on and off, so that when you need to access your bank, you can turn it off, but when you want to watch something, you can turn it back on. I have a whole tutorial you can watch here: th-cam.com/video/s6rSxv87_qY/w-d-xo.html
At the moment I have ipVanish installed as an app because I own a Netgear nighthawk C7800 which doesn't have a built in program for a vpn which means I would have to flash the router like you mentioned. How difficult is it to flash the router/modem?
@@AllThingsSecured Because you said that you are living in Asia, from my understanding, many ISP in Asia use SNI-based level filtering to block traffic like Netflix. Thus I am wondering whether you are having the same issue as mine. As I know ISP in UK or USA won’t do that, thus causing the Smart dns not working as expected. So which city do u live in? I am in India.

apple TV NOW supports vpn ipvanish is listed.
please do an updated video
I tried configuring the OpenVPN on my router it didn't work on my Apple TV. However, the location address did successfully change on another computer. But the change wasn't recognized on the Apple TV.
Will my HomeKit cameras be affected if using a VPN on router level?
They shouldn’t be affected, no.
Can this router be connected to the one I have to add the vpn on? Asus RT-N12E Router Wireless N 300Mbps / Access Point, Universal repeater SW Switc…

Muy claros y muy útiles sus comentarios. Gracias desde Colombia.
Question. Would ExpressVPN VPN routes setup work from within China? Thanks
Yes it does, but you might have to try different servers.
Tunnelbear needs to be on Apple TV

The SMART DNS was working well for few months with me then two days ago for some reason it did not work anymore
I assume this is the same method on the 2nd Generation HD version aswell?
Yes, it is.
If I add a VPN to my router, will that slow anything down? I play a lot of online video games and I live overseas (so I'm trying to get U.S. services).
Also do you know if Fritz! Box supports VPN?
Yes, a bit. But you could always disable the vpn when you want to play games.
Moving to the Philippines next month, which router do you recommend to use there with nord vpn? Thanks for your time
Extremely helpful 👊🏼👏🏽👏🏽
🙏🙏
Hi sir. Do you still think Express VPN is the best for streaming?
I have google wifi mesh. Will it work with this?
Any thoughts on how to do this with a Unifi UDM Pro short of putting one of these routers between my ONT and he UDMP?
This question may have already been answered but if I were to buy a new Asus router capable of adding a VPN, does this router need to replace my ISP router or can it just connect to the ISP router?
It has to connect to the ISP modem, which is usually the same as the router nowadays.
I have problem with expressvpn I'm from the Philippines when i connect to the same country that brings me to USA
Keep trying different server setups.
There is a reason that ISPs supply router-modems and it's not for the benefit of the consumer. I'd go without internet before having one and I've not gone without internet since the mid '80s.
Yea, ISP-issued routers suck all around.
Hi I hope you can answer my question so If I buy a apple tv 4k 2021 I cant a vpn like your last video on this subject I feel quite sad those methods in this video are too hard for me to do thank you for the tutorial many thanks
I don't see a question here.
@@AllThingsSecured hi you're write I went on your video from 4 years ago and asked the question from there I hope you have time to reply thank you
I only get PPTP and L2TP as option, no OpenVPN? talking about 3:555. could anyone help me?
Need more info to diagnose.
@@AllThingsSecured Yes, I don’t get the same options that you have. Maybe because I’m running asuswrt-Merlin?
i wish it would be just like the old gen it was so easy to set it up only for the apple tv now i have to do it for the router which i hate tbh but great vid
Yea, I know what you mean. SmartDNS felt like a much simpler option, but it just hasn't worked for me anymore.
@2:11 you mentioned you'd list in the description a few routers that allow you to configure a VPN connection. Looks like you forgot.
Thanks for catching that! I've updated the description now.

You don’t want to flash the ISP-provided modem.
@@AllThingsSecured thanks for responding. I actually own my router/modem. Is this something I can do?
Please turn off automatic translation of video titles. These are terrible. It's google translate man.
I appreciate the feedback! I was hoping they would be helpful, but I guess not. Which language were you reading?
I wonder which city are you in ?
Why?
