You can run a Tailscale node providing LAN access on Apple TV. Just grab Tailscale's Apple TV app. Performance is higher than you'd expect, saturates a gigabit link.

This is the perfect "get to parent's network" appliance. Pairs nicely with Eero+, which one might pick for remote network mgmt for reasons such as ad/threat blocking, aside from the cloud management with co-mgmt delegation built in.

It can also serve as an exit node. This makes it a lovely "use the Internet from my usual location" appliance, for all kinds of reasons.

Setup and use is ultra simple.

This actually sounds better than I thought, pretty unexpected but valid selling point for Apple TV. :D

Will keep in mind, although my use case is resolved for now.

It's a great way to get around those pesky "Are you actually at your home" nagware that Disney+ and other apps employ as well.
