Just like any other internet-connected device, your Firestick can benefit from the use of a VPN. A VPN will encrypt your internet traffic and route it through a server in another location, making it difficult for anyone to track or spy on what you’re doing online. This is especially useful if you connect to public Wi-Fi hotspots when using your Firestick, as these are often unsecured and vulnerable to attack.
There are many different VPN providers out there, but we recommend ExpressVPN as one of the best options available. Not only is it one of the most reliable and fastest VPNs around, but it’s also very easy to set up on your Firestick. In fact, you don’t even need to install any additional apps; simply follow our guide below and you’ll be up and running in no time.
Once you have ExpressVPN installed on your Firestick, simply open the app and log in with your account details. Then click on the ‘Select Location’ button and choose the country you want to appear to be browsing from. For example, if you want to unblock US-based streaming content that isn’t available in your country, then select United States from the list of countries.
Now all you need to do is sit back and enjoy watching all your favorite shows and movies on your Firestick without worry!
Worth knowing
1. On the main menu, go to the ‘Downloader’ option.
2. Once you’re in the Downloader app, enter the URL of the ExpressVPN APK installer. (To obtain the URL, contact the ExpressVPN Support Team.)
3. Select ‘Install’ to complete the installation.
And that’s it! You should now have ExpressVPN up and running on your Firestick.
Worth knowing
First, you can open the ExpressVPN app and look for the “Connected” status. If you see “Not connected,” then something is wrong and you’ll need to troubleshoot your connection.
Next, go to the Firestick settings menu and select “Network.” You should see a list of all the devices connected to your Firestick, including your VPN. If ExpressVPN isn’t listed as one of the connections, then it’s not working.
Finally, try opening an app or website that’s blocked in your location. If you’re able to access it without any problems, then ExpressVPN is successfully masking your IP address and allowing you to bypass geo-restrictions.
