The Roku smart TV platform offers a convenient way to access streaming content in one place, whether through built-in TVs or affordable dongles like the Roku Ultra. While it regularly updates its software with features like displaying famous paintings as screensavers, Roku lacks native VPN support, unlike its competitors. However, users can still utilize VPNs with workarounds to access geo-blocked content, such as setting up a VPN on their home router or using AirPlay/screencasting from a smartphone or laptop to the Roku TV. By changing IP addresses, VPNs not only grant access to a wider range of programming but also provide enhanced privacy and security through encryption. Although Roku does not natively support VPNs, users can explore different methods to bypass geographic restrictions and enjoy a broader selection of content.
