Can I set up Windscribe on my AppleTV? We are currently in the process of developing a native AppleTV/tvOS app, but it is not yet available. In the meantime, the best way to run Windscribe on such a device is through your router. This is only possible if your router supports an OpenVPN and or WireGuard VPN client.
