This guide will show you how to install the IPVanish VPN on your Amazon Fire Stick. You can use the guide for other VPN Clients but you will have to replace the download URL I use in the guide below.
As a Kodi user I recommend using a VPN. This will help unlock geo-blocked content, unblock sources and keep you anonymous online. You can get 25% off any package from IPVanish using the checkout code SEOM
This will only work on a 2nd gen Fire Stick
How to Install VPN on a Firestick
- Get an IPVanish VPN Account if you don’t already have one
- Turn your Firestick on
- Select Settings
- Select System
- Select Developer Options
- Select Apps from Unknown Sources and turn ON & Select ADB Debugging & turn ON
- You may see a warning message regarding unknown sources. Select OK
- Go back to your Fire Stick Home Screen
- Select the Search Icon
- Type downloader
- When downloader appears in the search results select it
- The Dowmloader App should now appear in your Apps & Games section
- Highlight and select the downloader app in your Apps & Games section
- Click select again and this will download and install the app
- When the download finishes click Open
- You will now see a window that allows you to enter a URL. Press the select button on your remote and enter the following address http://bit.ly/2iDsrSD (this is and always will be the latest version of IPVanish for Android)
- Click Next
- Click Download and the apk will begin to download
- You will now see the Install window. Use your remote to highlight the Install button and select it
- When the install finishes select Open
- You will now see the IPVanish login screen.
- Add your IPVanish Username and Password and select Remember Me
- Once logged in there is a choice of Tutorial or Skip. I would hit skip but you can take a look at the tutorial if you want
- That is it you can now connect to any of the servers in any of the countries that are available on your IPVanish account
- IPVanish does not appear on your home screen so when you start your Fire Stick and want to open IPVanish and connect to a server you will need to do the following
- Go tho the Your Apps & Games section and scroll right to the end where it says See All
- When the next window opens scroll down to IPVanish and you can open it from there
