minus-squarecheese_greater@lemmy.worldOPlinkfedilinkarrow-up5arrow-down5·6 months agoWhats the cheapest and most facile way to get AppleTV to run through VPN? Can I get something in-between router and device that enforces everything thru it? So sick of Appls bullshit, fuck
minus-squareToes♀@ani.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up9·6 months agoThe cheapest option would be to see if your VPN provider has an app or workaround for the appletv to do this. The more effective option would be to see if your router has a feature to use the VPN and if not use a router that does.
minus-squareArbiterXero@lemmy.worldcakelinkfedilinkarrow-up4·6 months agoMany “bettter” routers can do this, pfsense can do it. The problem is that Apple TV may get removed from your local network, meaning you can’t air-play to it at all lol. Unless your whole network is on the vpn.
minus-squareAlexisFR@jlai.lulinkfedilinkarrow-up1·6 months agoWhy would you need a VPN inside your local network?
