TV needed for use with a Ukrainian VPN

MG42Maniac · 12 Apr 2022 at 10:55

Hi All,

My parents are housing some Ukrainian refugees in a couple of weeks and they want them to be able to watch Netflix, Youtube, etc in Ukrainian. I am guessing the easiest thing for my parents is to get a cheap TV that allows a VPN to be configured on it? If so, does anyone have a particular model that would recommend? Also, side question, best VPN provider just to be able to access Ukrainian content? Ideally no larger than 43" and the cheaper the better as it will get practically zero use after they leave.

Thanks Everyone!

I think you'd be better off with a normal TV and then just use a firestick or equivalent with a vpn loaded on it.

You might have to side load the vpn but it should do what you need. I've got one running NordVPN and it works well.

Edit: It looks like Nord will install quite easily through the Amazon store. It's been a while since I did it to be honest!
