First you will need a VPN account with Liberty VPN and you are half way there. The issue with
Apple TV is that it does not have a VPN client build in. So the connection
to the VPN needs to be done outside the Apple TV. How
it’s done? Simply by sharing a VPN connection from a device that is already
connected to a VPN. There are 3 options you can use:
- Locate connection menu item and right-click on the VPN connection you have setup.
- Select ‘Properties’ and a new window will open.
- Then select the ‘Sharing’ tab and check of “Allow other network users to connect through this computer’s Internet connection”.
- Below select the network connection you will be sharing to and click ‘OK’.
It
is important to understand that you cannot share to the same connection you use
to connect to the Internet with. For example, connect to the Internet via Wi-Fi,
share the VPN connection to the Ethernet connection and then connect my Apple
TV to the Ethernet port. You might have two Ethernet ports or perhaps connect
to the Internet via a USB dongle. Whatever your setup is, just remember to
share to a network connection you are not already using.
- Open ‘System Preference’s and look for ‘Sharing’.
- Enable ‘Internet Sharing’ and where it says “Share your connection from” select the VPN connection you have setup.
- Where it says ‘To computers using’ select the appropriate interface (please read below).
If you will be using Wi-Fi you might want to click ‘Wi-Fi options’ and set a password.

You will need to a DD-WRT router to
act as a second router. In most cases you would connect your current router modem to
the WAN port of the VPN router and configure it to dial the connection. Then connect your PC
or consoles to the second router.
