How does a VPN block Roku from your privacy? Follow
Technically a VPN does not block Roku from your privacy. Rather, it blocks others (think: advertisers or even your internet provider) from tracking what you do while you’re on Roku. While Roku does not support VPN natively, a VPN can be set up on your router or you can use a virtual VPN via your computer to ensure your Roku traffic is encrypted.
By hiding your IP address and location, it’s more difficult for third parties to track your online habits or inundate you with targeted ads. It also protects your connection when on a public or shared WiFi network.
You might already know that Roku does collect some data internally (something that falls within the terms of service), a VPN reduces the outside surveillance while using the system.
