How to connect Apple TV (3rd Gen) to the Internet through proxy?

Solution 1:

I've not used this particular service but from the looks of it it seems pretty straightforward and easy to setup and configure with a Apple TV. There's a video titled: Apple TV Setup for Smart DNS Proxy on that page that'll guide you through the steps.

Basically what you'll be doing is the following steps:

  • Setup an account on Smart DNS Proxy website from a PC
  • On your Apple TV go to Settings → General → Network
  • Go to Configure DNS and select Manual
  • Select an IP for a DNS server from this page that's reasonably close to you
  • Reboot your Apple TV

NOTE: The full steps are here if you need to change your location etc.
