Use a VPN
First things first, protect yourself with a good quality VPN. This will keep you safe from shady online lurkers who’re always looking to steal other people’s data and identity while streaming and downloading content. This could be anyone, from your government to your ISP, a cybercriminal and even some random mass surveillance program that you’re not aware of.
Either way, it’s always best to use a VPN like IPVanish to protect yourself when using your Fire TV or any digital device for that matter. IPVanish provides you with an encrypted connection. It locks your private information away so that no-one can even see your location or your online activity.
We recommend IPVanish because it’s really compatible with Firestick, Fire TV and many other types of devices. Not only that but IPVanish offers a really handy app that’s easy to use and incredibly responsive on the Fire TV. All you need to install the hardware is a simple click and you’re good to go. Next, you’ll sign in and allow it to keep running in the background. That’s it. It’s literally that simple and pretty much anyone can use it.
It’s worth noting that IPVanish offers its users access to a vast network with almost 1,000 servers spread across 60 different countries. This means you’ll have an endless array of IP addresses to choose from. This is the easiest way to stay anonymous online. On top of that, IPVanish protects your connection with DNS leak protection technology and an automatic kill switch that prevents you from connecting when the VPN is disabled. Other notable features from IPVanish include 256-bit AES encryption and a zero-logging policy which means they won’t save any of your traffic history.
