Why Use a VPN with Firestick?

A second function of using a VPN with a Firestick is that lots of services that offer streaming are also geo-locked, meaning they are only available in certain countries or regions of the world because of licensing agreements in other countries. Because VPNs have severs set up all over the world, it is possible to use one to emulate being in the same country as the service you wish to use.

How to Choose the Best VPN for Firestick

There are several factors to consider when selecting a VPN for Firestick. Chief among them is the speed offered by the VPN. Since most people use their Firesticks to stream video, having a lot of connection choices is pivotal in your VPN selection. Strong security functions are another must. Selecting a VPN that does not keep user logs heightens the user anonymity. While all VPN providers must be taken on a case-by-case basis to determine which is the best to fit your needs, there are a few that stand out for the rest when considering use with a Firestick. They include:

1SaferVPN

Founded in 2013 and based in Israel, SaferVPN has an impressive range of packages based on user need – be it enhanced security, geographic unlocking or simply a really good VPN. It stores neither logs nor IP addresses, and has the ultimate in protection in a kill switch that shuts down your Internet connection instantly if the VPN connection is interrupted. It has more than 760 servers spread across more than 35 countries and works with Netflix, a feather in the cap of any VPN.

2IPVanish

IPVanish is located in the United States, which is particularly advantageous if you are trying to unlock services that only function within the US borders. IPVanish is routinely listed among the top two VPNs in terms of speed, which is huge considering how much streaming most Firestick users do. It has more than 1,000 servers available spread across 60 countries with around 40,000 IP addresses. At present, IPVanish does not have a Netflix solution, however.
