VPN for smart TV

[alex_the_gr8]

Hello people of the interwebs!

I live in Australia and have finally given up with the bum version of netflix that we have. 
I know I can use a VPN service to get American netflix on my PC but is there a way of creating some sort of network so I can connect my smart TV to the VPN so I can get American netflix on that too? 
I've been looking around the internet but its left me with more questions than answers   
Also if I can I was thinking of using tunnelbear - saw it a few weeks ago on one of the LinusTech videos and it seems alright? 

Thanks people!!

Maybe you could get a router what supports vpn or something.

 

A router which supports DD-WRT supports vpn with DD-WRT

You could use something like this: http://www.amazon.com/TP-LINK-TL-WR841N-Wireless-Router-300Mbps/dp/B001FWYGJS/ref=sr_1_1?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1450615159&sr=1-1&keywords=router and instal DD-WRT on to it.

I have a samsung smart tv that is using a vpn. There is an option in the network settings in my one, its under IP settings from I remember. You just enter a VPN that you find online and your good to go.

Go into the menu -> network -> network status. At the bottom there should be DNS. There is a box with something like 'get automatically' under DNS. Change that to manual. Then search on google for an american netflix dns server, enter it in. Go through a few till you find one that works.
