tvOS 17 adds native VPN support for the first time on Apple TV

I wonder if they are aware of what the primary use case for this will be. 🤔

Glad to see this change, finally. I have one purpose for VPN, professional cycling. In Europe there are hundreds of races a year all broadcast by Eurosport/GCN. Here in the States the rights are split up amongst three or four different properties, including Peacock, basic cable and others, for the same exact broadcasts. I have no problem paying for the content but trying to find where and when each broadcast is going to take place is a horror show. Turn on the VPN, bang, everything in one app.

Long overdue. Really excited for this one.

I think it might be related to FaceTime being added, but I do wonder what else they have in mind.

I will be using it to watch British and Japanese Netflix without weird airplay tricks 😅
