Protect a Smart TV? Nobody thinks about it, and yet…
Whether you bought the little Apple TV box or not, you most likely have a connected TV. We can say this with a high degree of certainty for the simple reason Almost all 4K televisions or just televisions available on the market are so-called “Smart TVs”. This means that they have an operating system (OS) through which you can download applications such as YouTube or Netflix. And since your TV is connected to the Internet, it applies the same problems as any other object linked to the web (Smartphone, PC…).
So if you have a subscription to a VPN service, it would be a huge shame to miss out on the benefits of that service on your TV. Regardless of the brand of your computer, a VPN allows you to:
- have access to it foreign servers from home Or Find your French content and your official subscriptions from abroad. Of course you don't take your television with you abroad, but you do take a box like an Apple TV or an HDMI stick like a FireTV Stick…
- Avoid buffering when streaming. Depending on your activity, your ISP may reduce your connection speed. This leads to buffering, especially with high-definition or 4K programs. If so, NordVPN will help you keep your activities private. Therefore, your ISP cannot limit the speed of your connection based on your activities.
- For general protection of your television. As a reminder, a VPN is a virtual private network that also allows you to anonymize yourself online by changing your IP address. By “bounce” your connection to a server, you also protect yourself from possible hacking attempts.
The most popular VPN, finally on Apple TV
The news of the day is the arrival of the NordVPN application on tvOS, the operating system for Apple TV boxes. You don't have to go through the router to benefit from the world's most popular VPN service. Now all you have to do is go to the Atore app, download the app, log in to your account and we'll talk again.
As a reminder: The Nord VPN offer stands out from the competition, among other things, because of its focus Internet security. For example, you can add a password manager in addition to your NordVPN subscription. If Nord VPN is one of the big market leaders, it is also because it is a well-known and recognized reliable solution. The VPN is based on 5200 servers spread across no less than 60 countries. Don't panic when it comes to connection speed: download speeds regularly exceed 200MB per second. In general, the application is practical and intuitive. This is particularly useful if you want to connect multiple devices.
And hey, at this price it's still worth checking out. At the moment the holidays are at the end of the year and Nord lowered its prices to attract new customers. So if you take the 2 year subscription you will be entitled to:
- 69% off, so you pay about that much About €3 per month, maybe even a little less.
- 3 months free + a 30-day money-back guarantee trial.
- An Amazon gift card worth €10, €20 or €30.

And if you don't have an Apple TV and like the Apple ecosystem, we highly recommend itr the most undervalued product of the apple. By offering tvOS on your Smart TV, you have access to extremely fluid navigation, what we consider to be the best user interface on the market, the brilliant and very complete AppStore, applications optimized for Apple and many extremely practical features that only Apple can offer because all Cupertino company products are connected to each other. For example, if you want to type something in your TV's search bar, your iPhone keyboard will automatically open to make your life easier instead of having to struggle with the remote control.
