|Unblock and watch American Apps on the new Apple TV 4 outside USA. The Apple TV 4 is one of the best streaming devices available. However, to get the most out of your new Apple TV, you have to learn how to unblock US apps on Apple TV 4 abroad. By using Smart DNS proxy or VPN, you can watch US channels like Netflix, Hulu, HBO, Showtime, or ABC on Apple TV 4 outside US.
Apple TV 4 – How to Change iTunes Region
In order to access the American App Store on your Apple TV 4, you need a US iTunes account. Follow the steps below to create an American Apple ID without the need for a credit card.
1. On your PC/Mac, log out of your iTunes account.
2. Change your region to US at the bottom of the iTunes Store.
3. Go find any free app (Netflix is a good example).
4. Click ‘Get’.
5. You will be asked to create an account and will now offer the ‘no card’ option. Create a new user name and password for this ‘new account’.
6. Enter an address that’s local to that region while selecting ‘no card’. You can use CA as your state and 90210 as your ZIP code.
7. From your new Apple TV, log out of your iTunes account from within ‘Settings’.
8. Login with your new US Apple ID
9. The App store on your new Apple TV will now switch to US. You can download and install all apps that are exclusively available in the American iTunes Store.
Apple TV 4 – Unblock US Apps on New Apple TV with VPN
Now that you have downloaded US apps like Netflix, Hulu, HBO GO, Showtime, or NBC Sports on your 4th generation Apple TV, you have to bypass the regional restrictions imposed on these channels. To do so, you need an American IP address. Using VPN, you can change your location to US. Hence, you can unblock and watch American apps on Apple TV 4 in Canada, Australia, UK, or France.
- Using VPN unblocks all American channels on Apple TV at once. Watch HBO Go, HBO Now, Showtime, WWE Network, Crackle, Hulu, Netflix, and more.
- Apple TV 4 does not have a VPN client. You have to install VPN on your router instead.
- VPN allows you to encrypt all of you traffic.
- VPN bypasses DNS hijacking and transparent proxies alike.
The most important feature of any VPN provider is the speed of VPN servers. Below are the three VPN providers with the fastest US VPN servers. My favorite is ExpressVPN. But, the other two options are equally effective in unblocking American apps on Apple TV 4 outside USA.

Apple TV 2015 – Watch American Channels in UK, Canada, or Australia with Smart DNS
Smart DNS can also unblock geoblocked apps/channels on Apple TV 4. With Smart DNS, you do not get a new IP address. Instead, only the geo-location related traffic gets rechanneled. Once Smart DNS is setup on your Apple TV 4, you can watch most American apps outside USA.
- Netflix, Hulu, Crackle, UFC.tv, MLB.tv, NBA League Pass, and HBO are some of the American channels you can unblock using Smart DNS.
- Smart DNS does not encrypt your traffic. However, your Internet speed will not drop a result.
- Unlike VPN, Apple TV 4 is compatible with Smart DNS.
- DNS hijacking or transparent proxies will stop Smart DNS from working on your Apple TV.
Unlocator is a Smart DNS service that allows you to unblock 214 geoblocked channels. Smart DNS setup guides for Apple TV are available. Signing up with Unlocator is free and does not require a credit card.

Hi, how exactly do I create the fake US address? I’ve tried numerous times, and it only comes up with the message “For assistance, contact iTunes Support at http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/ww/.”
Hi Diyana. Search Google for fake address generating websites.
Hi. I’m in the uk. What DNS do I need to watch US apps on Apple TV 4th gen??
I’m in the UK. What DNS would I need to access US apps on my Apple TV 4th gen box.
Hi,
You’d require
1. A smart dns service (like the ones mentioned above)
2. A US itunes account (this can be created for free on the apple website)
3. A US cable login. This you’d have to get from a friend/relative in the USA. If you don’t have this option, you can rent one from slingsharing.com
Hope that helps.
