Taking your Apple TV to another country and running TailScale on it works like a dream. As far as the AppleTv apps are concerned, they’re still in Washington State.
Caveats.
1. I tried using the (wired) Apple TV at home as the exit node and performance was a bit fuzzy (on a 4K tv). I didn’t try again, I just changed my exit node to my Synology at home and it’s been crystal clear.
2. Once you’ve turned on the exit node, restart the Apple TV. Some apps may have already run and they don’t check their location after startup (I mean, why would they?).
