How do I install Surfshark VPN on the Apple TV?

To install Surfshark VPN on an Apple TV, a direct app installation is not available, as the Apple TV does not support native VPN apps. However, one can use Surfshark by configuring the VPN settings on their router or using Smart DNS. For router configuration, log into your router's admin panel, set up the Surfshark VPN connection by entering the necessary details provided by Surfshark, which will allow all devices including the Apple TV to connect through a VPN-protected network. Alternatively, for the Smart DNS approach, register your IP in the Surfshark website, find the Smart DNS addresses, and then manually configure them in the Apple TV's network settings under Wi-Fi for those who are connected wirelessly, or Ethernet if connected via cable. This will enable Apple TV to access geo-restricted content; however, this method does not encrypt traffic like a typical VPN. It is always recommended to refer to Surfshark's official guides and support for the most current and detailed instructions.
