This low-cost gadget can turn any regular TV with an HDMI port into a smart TV. And to avoid internet throttling and geoblocking, we advise you to install a VPN on your Fire TV Stick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A VPN will hide your IP address and give you the full streaming experience without you having to worry about any possible restrictions. We\u2019ve conducted a comprehensive evaluation, and concluded that the combination of ExpressVPN and the Fire Stick is the one that\u2019ll give you the best possible protection at a reasonable price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Overview of ExpressVPN Offer<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>ExpressVPN has been in business since 2009, and to this day, it\u2019s one of the best VPN services on the market. With more than 3,000 servers across 94 countries, it provides fast connection speeds wherever you are. It even has servers in China and the United Arab Emirates, which is not so common in the VPN industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>ExpressVPN is based in the British Virgin Islands &#8211; out of reach of the <a href=\"https:\/\/dataprot.net\/guides\/14-eyes\/\">14 Eyes alliance<\/a>. Therefore, it\u2019s not under external pressure to reveal the users\u2019 data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now let\u2019s see how to set up ExpressVPN on a Fire Stick and why many people call it the best VPN for the Fire Stick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Main Features of ExpressVPN<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>ExpressVPN\u2019s key features are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>256-bit AES encryption<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/dataprot.net\/guides\/what-is-split-tunneling\/\">split tunneling<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>kill switch<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>strict no-logs policy<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>DNS and IPv6 leak protection<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>router-level configuration<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>You can use one account to connect five devices simultaneously, while the router-level configuration allows you to connect as many devices as you wish to your Wi-Fi, and keep them all protected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Besides the Fire TV Stick, ExpressVPN can be used on any Amazon device, including the Fire TV 2nd Generation, Fire TV 3rd Generation, and Fire TV Cube. Having ExpressVPN on your Fire Stick will unlock all the popular streaming services, such as Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime Video, HBO, BBC iPlayer, and even Kodi. Along with that, ExpressVPN offers plenty of bandwidth, so you can stream the content you want to watch in HD and 4K UHD without worrying about speed limits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">ExpressVPN Pricing<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This VPN service offers three billing plans:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/trinity-core.s3.us-west-1.amazonaws.com\/dataprot\/assets\/6215118ec73d7.png\" alt=\"expressvpn special offer\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>All plans come with a 30-day money-back guarantee policy. That means that you can try it out for a month, and if it doesn\u2019t suit you, request a refund &#8211; no questions asked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Installing ExpressVPN on FireStick<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>After buying a subscription, you can complete the installation of Express VPN on your Amazon Fire TV Stick by following these simple steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>On your Fire device, open the Fire Stick Home page and locate the search bar (top left corner).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Type in \u201cExpressVPN\u201d and select the first result you get.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Click on the Download button.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Once you download the app, open it, sign in to your account, and choose a VPN location you want to connect to or let ExpressVPN do that for you. That\u2019s it; you\u2019re ready to go!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>(Note that the ExpressVPN Android app isn\u2019t available for the first generation of the Fire Stick.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Alternatively, you can install ExpressVPN on your Fire Stick by sideloading the APK file. This actually means using a developers\u2019 installer instead of downloading the app from the distributor. To do this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>Ask ExpressVPN customer support for a link to the APK file.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Go to the Fire Stick\u2019s Settings and select the My Fire option.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>From there, go to the Developer Options and turn on the ABD Debugging and Apps From Unknown<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>
