Using Kodi on an Amazon Fire TV Stick with a VPN

Kodi with Amazon Fire Stick using IPVanish

IPVanish is one of the world’s top VPN providers and your best pick for unblocking channels on Kodi using an Amazon Fire Stick. However, while on computers all it takes for you to combine Kodi and IPVanish is to simply turn the VPN on first, when using a Fire Stick the setup is not that plain and simple. Given this, you have two options here: using a VPN router or enabling internet sharing from a computer that’s already running IPVanish.

The first one is probably the most simple as you can either apply the necessary settings changes to your existing router (as long as it runs DD-WRT or Tomato) such as primary and secondary DNS changes, or opt for a dedicated VPN router that you use solely for establishing secure VPN connections. The quickest way with the least hassle is to get a new device that you can order already pre-flashed with IPVanish setup on the router from FlashRouters.com. These routers are especially useful since they are already pre-configured and set to work with the VPN service of your choice, saving you the time and effort to accurately set your VPN and making it even easier for you to use your Amazon Fire TV Stick or other devices.

In the same way, VPN routers are our recommendation for setting up Kodi with both IPVanish and the Fire Stick device, instead of using it on the OpenVPN protocol and having this set upon the VPN installation or manager on your device. After that all you need to do is choose a server located in the country of the channel you want to watch on Kodi, and wave goodbye to any geo-blocks.
