How to Install & Setup ExpressVPN on Firestick

We will look at the step-by-step process of installing ExpressVPN on FireStick in this article. ExpressVPN is one of the best and most recommended VPN app for Firestick, and it is easy to download, install and set up. It is a great app to have as it helps change your public IP address and hides your activities on the internet.

It gives you a virtual IP address in case anyone tries to monitor your activities while you stream content or if you cannot access content due to location restrictions. With Amazon Firestick, you can stream IPTV content on a regular television through its HDMI port. You only need to plug your Firestick device to your TV and start streaming any content from the internet.

You can also use Firestick with your smart TV if you wish. Firestick runs on a modified Android OS version called Fire OS, and it gives you access to the top streaming platforms such as Kodi, HBO, Netflix, Hulu as well as other movie streaming platforms. However, some platforms will not allow you to stream from specific locations and that’s why you need a VPN to bypass these restrictions.

Netflix, for instance, does not allow streaming from some locations and ExpressVPN has been tested and proven to be the only VPN application that can bypass this. There are also some Firestick applications that provide streaming links with copyright protection. This is illegal in many places and to protect yourself from law enforcement; it is advised that you use a VPN so that your IP address will not be visible.
