Why you should use a VPN on your Fire TV Stick

The Amazon Fire Stick has been one of the top choices of streaming movies and shows, and for good reason. It is easy to use, has a huge variety of applications, and is quite affordable.

Most people who buy a Fire Stick end up “jailbreaking” it – meaning they install Kodi or any other application which allows you to watch virtually any movie, show, or channel.

Why you should use a VPN with a Fire Stick (or any media streaming device)

The issues relating to copyright on Kodi on a Fire Stick is not Kodi itself, it’s the add-ons that come with it.

Using a proper VPN on your streaming device will ensure that your IP stays hidden to authorities, your connection is not throttled by your ISP, and the content you want to see stays unblocked.

If the above wasn’t enough of a reason to use a VPN, here’s another reason. Services such as Netflix or Hulu are known for blocking certain movies in certain regions. A VPN allows you to view the content you want whenever you want.

A VPN is the perfect layer of security if you’re streaming IPTV, Kodi, or movies. A VPN has many other benefits, including preventing data theft, unblocking websites, and browsing anonymously.

Now we know a VPN is quite important, but which VPN should you use?

Nitrous VPN is ideal for a Fire TV Stick because it specifically caters to those who stream Kodi, Movies, Shows, and Live TV. In the tests we performed, we noticed that Nitrous can unblock hidden streaming links within Kodi. It also significantly improved our connection as it was being throttled.

Other reasons to use Nitrous include affordability, features, and design. Nitrous VPN supports TCP and UDP ports. We also have a “Stealth” option for extra security if you are behind a heavy firewall and need to mask your OpenVPN traffic.
