But before you start streaming your favorite content with Kodi Addons & Builds, please keep in mind that everything you stream on Kodi can be seen by the Government through your Internet Service Provider. Now, if you end up streaming copyrighted TV shows, Movies, Sports, or Live TV (knowingly or unknowingly), you could get tangled in serious legal issues.
We do not condone or endorse streaming illegal/copyrighted content. However, it’s not always easy to tell difference between legal and illegal content sources online.
Luckily, you can hide your online activity with the help of a reliable VPN service. A good Kodi VPN will mask your original identifying IP Address [show_ip]. It will also help you bypass geo-restrictions & ISP throttling, which will allow you to stream everything without buffering.
I use ExpressVPN and recommend it to my friends & family. It offers blazing fast speed and utmost security online. It also has a zero-logs policy and dedicated apps for all kinds of devices and platforms including FireStick and Fire TVs.
ExpressVPN also offers 30-Day Money-Back Guarantee (no questions asked), although we don’t think you’ll ever want one.
So before streaming on Kodi, here’s how you can set up ExpressVPN for Kodi on any device:
Step 1. First of all, Sign Up for ExpressVPN HERE
You can save 49% on the yearly plan and also get 3 Months absolutely free.
Step 2. To install the ExpressVPN app on your device, click HERE. You can use the app on 5 devices simultaneously.
If you'd like to download the app on FireStick you'll find the instructions below.
Step 3. Sign in with your login credential that you created while signing up for ExpressVPN.
Step 4. Click the Power Button to connect to a VPN server. That's it! Anything you stream on this device will now be anonymous.
Steps to connect to ExpressVPN on FireStick:
These are the steps to install Kodi VPN on FireStick devices.
If you have any other streaming device, please go to its respective appstore and download the ExpressVPN app. ExpressVPN has dedicated app for nearly all devices.
Step 1. Sign Up for ExpressVPN HERE, if you haven't already.
Step 2. Navigate to the Find Icon on your FireStick home screen.
Step 3. Now, go to the Search option
Step 4. Enter the word ExpressVPN using the onscreen keypad and select it from the Search results.
Step 5. Now, click the ExpressVPN icon under Apps & Games section
Step 6. Click on Get /Download and wait for it to install on your FireStick
Step 7. Click Open to launch the ExpressVPN app
