Hi there!

I have recently purchased the new AppleTV and the possibility to access Netflix is my new goal. I am located in Norway, so it won't work without som tweaks.

My solution is to buy a Pro VPN service from strongvpn.com, but that will only get it to work on my mac, not the Apple TV.

I tried to share my work-VPN through airport to do a proof-of-concept, but I didn't get any internet.

Is this possible to do? My iMac is connected to my Time Capsule through ethernet, so the airport is available to be the Apple TV's gateway..

Thanks in advance :)
 
Hi, I want to do the same from Mexico. I already have the Strong VPN service up and running on my Mac. Did you find a solution for the Apple TV?
 
I am in the same boat. I can get my atv2 to route through the Mac mini but as soon as I enable the VPN I get no connection. I was hoping there was a simple answer but according to strong VPN support I need a new modem with the built in ability to access the VPN.
Bummer.
 
You have to buy new modem with vpn option
