Proton VPN has hinted on plans to extend its VPN support to Apple TV users soon, as it plans to release the Apple TV app “in the upcoming period.”
In a September 25 post on X, Proton Support stated that the company is already working on releasing the Apple TV app which it promised to release in Summer of 2024.
Working underground
Proton in a Reddit post earlier this year stated that it has been doing some underground work, hence the few announcements on new developments.
Meanwhile, the company released the Android Beta about two months ago, and at the time promised to make the VPN service available to both Android and Windows devices “in the following weeks.” It also promised to include more platforms subsequently, one of which was Apple TV.
Other rollouts scheduled for Summer of 2024 were Stealth protocol on the Windows app, Split Tunneling for the Android TV app, and the split tunneling solution for the macOS were
Lastly, the company said it intended to have its IPV6 out in the summer/autumn of 2024, following several rounds of successful testing.
Scaling up servers
One of Proton’s main focuses this year has been the scaling up of its servers to “stay ahead of the demands of our rapidly growing supporter base.”
The efforts include “adding 14 new countries to support voters in countries with a history of censorship or political interference” ahead of elections.
It also reduced blocking in censored countries, decreased CAPTCHAs, and increased download speeds in countries like France and Germany, where it upgraded the last of their 1Gbps servers to 10Gbps.
The company has also added over 700 new servers in multiple countries within the year, including over 100 in the USA, and more than 50 in the UK, Germany, and Switzerland in a bid to provide better services.
