I want a device that I can plug into my TV and watch iPlayer etc on. I need to be able to run a VPN on it.

I have a firestick with nord vpn on it for exactly this, whenever the kids want to watch cbeebies I just bang it on. VPN is running all the time so I don't have to think about it. Great to have for the few things I can't find in France, like cricket and Julia Donaldson stuff.

So all I need is a fire stick? You run Nord directly on it? Ideal.

Edit: seems so, ideal, thanks!

Yep, just an app on the firestick.

I have Google TV built in to my TV, so I watch everything through that then just switch to the firestick when I want to watch bbc etc.

Works great, if there is a issue clearing the cache on the iplayer app is generally the fix.
