If you’re looking to add an extra layer of security and privacy to your home streaming setup, you may be wondering if it’s possible to connect ExpressVPN to your TV. The short answer is yes, but it will take a bit of configuration first. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to get started:
First, gather the following items: An ExpressVPN account A compatible router A compatible streaming device (such as an Apple TV, Roku, Fire Stick, etc.)
Next, sign in to your account on the ExpressVPN website and navigate to the set up page. From here, select ‘Router’ as your connection type and follow the instructions for setting up a new connection. Specifically, you’ll need to generate a Username and Password for your VPN connection - make sure to write these down somewhere safe!
