Best VPN for Amazon Fire TV and Fire Stick

A VPN, or virtual private network, lets you stream all that you want with privacy and security, while avoiding ISP throttling. 

Using a VPN on your Fire TV or Fire Stick device will give you a different IP address and encrypt your internet connection, ensuring your privacy and security while you stream online shows and movies. 

Yes, and it’s easy, too! Simply install the ExpressVPN app on the following Amazon devices:

• Fire TV Stick 4K and 4K Max

• Fire TV Stick 2nd and 3rd Generation

• Fire TV 2nd and 3rd Generation

• Fire TV Cube

If you don’t want to install ExpressVPN on your Fire device, you can also try screen mirroring from another device with ExpressVPN installed.

Yes! Besides Fire Stick and Fire TV, ExpressVPN is also available on all major platforms and devices including computers, mobile devices, gaming consoles,  and much more. You can install ExpressVPN on unlimited devices and connect up to eight devices simultaneously—all with a single subscription. Or get ExpressVPN on your Wi-Fi router to connect even more.

Yes, you can. Most of the popular streaming services are free to download on your Fire device, including Netflix, Prime Video, Disney Plus, BBC iPlayer, and more. And they all pair seamlessly with ExpressVPN.

ExpressVPN is first and foremost a privacy company and therefore stores no activity logs and no connection logs. ExpressVPN also never stores any data that would allow anyone to trace a specific network activity or behavior back to an individual user.

Every ExpressVPN subscription comes with a risk-free money-back guarantee. You can enjoy the full-featured version of ExpressVPN on your devices for up to 30 days and still get a full refund.

An easy way to confirm that ExpressVPN is working is to check the available streaming content.

If you’re connected to a server outside of your physical location, you should be seeing a different selection of shows and movies on your streaming platform of choice. Some streaming platforms, like Netflix, will even indicate the location you’re streaming from. If it corresponds with the server location you’re connected to, your VPN is functioning correctly.
