I just got Apollo TV and was wondering if I need a VPN? I use it on my fire stick and on my phone and just saw a comment saying they use a VPN with the mobile app. Any suggestions help :)

I use Nordvpn with Apollo TV and it works like a charm. Can't speak for ProtonVPN though.

In my experience, it's always better to be safe than sorry. I use a VPN with all my streaming apps, Apollo TV included. It's not just about hiding your activity, but also about accessing geo-restricted content.

I've been using Apollo TV without a VPN for months and haven't had any issues. Maybe I'm just living on the edge?

Living on the edge? More like streaming on the edge! But seriously, while you might be fine now, a VPN is like an umbrella - better to have it and not need it, than need it and not have it.

Legally speaking, Apollo TV operates in a grey area. A VPN adds a layer of privacy that could be beneficial. Just my two cents as someone who likes to keep their digital nose clean.

Has anyone tried using Apollo TV with ProtonVPN? I heard they're having issues with some apps on iOS.

while a VPN is great for privacy, it's not a magic invisibility cloak. Still be mindful of what you're streaming!

I'm more concerned about the "Startup Show not working" issue. Anyone else experiencing this?
pitbull1111 Aug. 7, 2024, 7:47 p.m.
Yep, having the same problem. Maybe we should start a separate thread for troubleshooting?

For tech-savvy folks, here's an interesting read on ResearchGate about VPN technology and security

Thanks for sharing! Always good to see some actual research rather than just anecdotal evidence. Though I must admit, half of it went over my head. I guess I'll stick to my "click button, watch show" approach for now! :D

Check your network's MTU settings before blaming vpn for that lag. most issues ain't even vpn related

Friendly reminder that vpn ≠ anonymity. your digital footprint still exists, just wearing different shoes

True, but doesn't a VPN slow down your connection? I'm already battling with my potato internet, don't wanna make it worse!
