tvOS VPN That Autoconnects on Restart

[southerndoc]

I really love VPN Client Bee. Very simple, easy to upload WireGuard configs, etc.

However, if you restart the AppleTV, you have to manually reconnect the VPN. Is this a tvOS limitation or a client limitation? If it's a tvOS limitation, does anyone have an app they recommend that will autoconnect on restart?

I don't use a traditional VPN but I do use an AppleTV as a Tailscale exit node and it reconnects after a restart, OS update, or power failure.

I hope you can find a reliable software solution…but a hardware option would be connecting the AppleTV to something like a GL.iNet router, connected to the VPN as a client, and going through your main router. I sometimes carry one for just such a use when I travel.

Yeah, I thought about using a policy-based route on a UniFi gateway to do it.
