A VPN allows users to access blocked content on their smart TV by changing their IP address to another country and bypassing geographical restrictions.
The setup process involves signing up for a VPN service and installing it on a user’s router.
Then they must connect to a server in a country that has the content they want and ensure their smart TV is on the same network as the VPN.
VPNs provide extra online security for smart TVs, especially if users are accessing unsecured networks.
Choosing a VPN depends on speed, bandwidth, server locations, and compatibility with a user’s smart TV or router.
Some VPN providers offer a smart TV app, but if they don’t, installing the VPN on the router is a good option.
Though mainly used for businesses, VPNs are becoming popular for individual users to access a wider range of content on their smart TVs.
