Since 2023, VPN clients can be installed on Apple TV. I'm trying out a ExpressVPN client on my ATVs. It seems to be causing more issues with streaming apps at random. It's' not consistent and changing the VPN city may be all it takes when streaming apps balk. VPN may be better suited for web browsers?

I don't see much discussion on the subject. Does anyone see any real pluses / pros in using VPN on Apple TV?

I use NordVPN and the benefit is being about to watch other countries Netflix. It works well.

Thanks for a comment, Netflix programming by country makes sense. Otherwise, it just doesn't make much sense for a streaming device to have a VPN...
