how to install a free VPN on Amazon Fire TV Stick<\/strong> and which VPN services are worth considering. Let\u2019s get started, shall we?<\/p>\n\n\n\nHow Do You Install a Free VPN on Amazon\u2019s Fire TV Stick?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The Amazon Fire TV Stick gives access to Amazon Prime and other streaming platforms like Netflix or Hulu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sometimes, though, you may be away from your primary location and still want to access your regular streaming activity. Or, you may wish to keep your streaming activity away from prying eyes or simply desire to check out another country\u2019s Netflix offer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
VPNs are perfect for all these uses and give you the chance to watch any television content available on your Amazon Fire TV Stick safely and securely<\/strong>. Before we begin, however, you should know that VPN apps cannot run on first-generation Fire TV devices.<\/p>\n\n\n\nFirst, you need to determine if your device is on the list of compatible Fire TV Stick models:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n- Fire TV Cube (1st Generation)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Fire TV Cube (2nd Generation)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Fire TV Stick (2nd Generation)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Fire TV (3rd Generation Pendant Design)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Fire TV Stick 4K<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
To check if you have a compatible device<\/strong>, you just need to look at the FCC ID. An FCC ID is a unique number assigned to any device registered with the United States Federal Communications Commission and can be used as an identifier. It typically consists of a grantee code and an equipment product code.<\/p>\n\n\n\nYou would usually find this on the side of the device. If the FCC ID is anything other than \u201c2ABDU-0509\u201d, then you\u2019re all good to go. Now, we can move on to installations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There are two ways to install a free VPN on Amazon Fire TV Stick. You can simply search for the VPN provider\u2019s app in Amazon\u2019s online store and then install it once it has been found. If the VPN does not have its own Fire TV Stick app, the second option is to sideload it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Let\u2019s break down how both options work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
