The Best VPNs for Amazon Fire TV - Fire Stick, Fire TV, and Fire Cube

Why use a VPN with your Amazon Fire TV device?

Amazon Fire TV devices provide viewers access to a vast array of streaming and on-demand services. Its Fire Stick is the most affordable in their range of devices and is incredibly easy to set up and use. All you need is an HDMI port on your TV.

Once set up, you can access all sorts of apps and games—making thousands of movies and TV shows available through your TV. That’s right—no more viewing on your phone’s or tablet’s tiny screen or your laptop, for those who’d rather enjoy a large screen experience.

Amazon is a leading force in everything they take on, so you can expect each of the alternative Fire TV devices to be just as simple and user friendly.

The full range also includes their Fire TV Cube; a full 4K Ultra HD device with Alexa voice control or even a 55” 4K Ultra HD LED Smart TV with Fire TV built-in.

International content and Amazon Fire TV

Ideally, Amazon wants you to access their massive library of shows and movies, either on a pay to view basis or using their Amazon Prime subscription service.

It’s common knowledge that the shows available in one country aren’t necessarily available in another. This has much to do with international viewing rights between the different service providers and channels. So, how do you access the shows only available in another country from where you are?

That’s where a virtual location opens up the previously closed doors to masses more geoblocked viewing.

A VPN (Virtual Private Network) will supply you with just that, and one that shows you to be wherever you need to be.

How does a VPN get around the location blockades?

If you’re in the UK, yet want to access USA channels and services such as Hulu, Peacock, Sling TV, Pluto, HBO Now, Showtime, and masses more, you need to let the Amazon servers see a US address to grant you access to those services.

Alternatively, if you’re in the United States and you want to watch British, Canadian, or other European channels and services—like BBC iPlayer, DAZN, All 4, etc.—then the same applies.

If you want to access another country’s Netflix catalog, again, a VPN will open those doors to allow you to watch the shows unique to their region.

A VPN service will make you appear to be in the country of the TV service, and not where you’re physically located. Clever huh?

Do VPNs always work?

The simple answer is no, VPNs don’t always work. Streaming services such as Netflix are constantly seeking to identify and block users using VPNs. You won’t get into any trouble, you’ll just see the dreaded “This content isn’t available in your region” message and spend a lot of time switching servers and restarting the streaming apps to get it to work.
