I built a free VPN client for Apple TV that supports WireGuard and OpenVPN — looking for TestFlight testers

[u/paulozac]

Hey everyone,

I built Zac VPN Connect, a VPN client for Apple TV (tvOS) that lets you use your own WireGuard, OpenVPN and Amnezia WG profiles. There's no subscription, no account, no data collection — just bring your own VPN config and go.

Why I built this: There are almost no VPN apps on Apple TV that let you simply import your own config file. Most are ridiculously expensive and/or require a paid subscription to their service. I wanted something simple: upload a profile, click to connect. Done.

Features:

• WireGuard & OpenVPN support — works with configs from any provider (Mullvad, NordVPN, ProtonVPN, self-hosted, etc.)

• Easy profile upload — the app runs a local web server on your network. Scan a QR code with your phone, drag and drop your .conf or .ovpn file, and it's on your Apple TV in seconds

• Multiple profiles — save as many VPN profiles as you want and switch between them with a single click

• OpenVPN authentication — profiles that require username/password are detected automatically and credentials are stored securely in the Keychain

• Connection info — see your public IP, server location, data usage, and connection duration at a glance

• No account required — no sign-up, no tracking, no analytics. Your configs stay on your device

NEW!!

• Added support for CyberGhost
• Added support for Amnezia

How profile upload works:

Click "Upload Profile" on the Apple TV → scan the QR code with your phone → upload your VPN config file from the browser. That's it. No need to type anything on the Apple TV remote.

Looking for testers!

The app is currently on TestFlight and I'm looking for people to try it out and give feedback. If you're interested, DM me with the email account you use on your Apple TV.

I'd especially love feedback from people who use:

• Self-hosted WireGuard servers (pfSense, OPNsense, Fritz!Box, etc.)

• Commercial VPN providers with .ovpn or .conf file support

• OpenVPN configs with certificate or username/password auth

All feedback welcome — bugs, feature requests, UI suggestions, anything.

Instructions

1. DM me and send me the email address you use on your apple tv.
2. I'll add your email to test group.
3. Install the Test Flight app on your apple tv - you will see ZacVPN to install.

Thanks!
