Best VPN for Amazon Fire TV and Fire Stick

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.

ExpressVPN is first and foremost a privacy company and therefore stores no activity logs and no connection logs.

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.
