As we said in the past tutorials, setting up IPVanish VPN is possible for almost any platform. Some of you asked us, if its also possible to install a VPN on Windows. Sure it is! So we thought, why not create a blogpost with a step-by-step tutorial and show everybody how its done?

Governments and ISPs across the world monitor their users online activities. If found streaming or browsing content on your Fire TV Stick, mobile or PC, you could get into serious trouble. Currently, your Location is visible to everyone:
- Your IP: 3.238.184.78

- Your ISP: Amazon Technologies Inc.
We strongly recommend you to get a good VPN and hide your identity so that your online experience doesn’t take a bad turn.
We use IPVanish which is the fastest and most secure VPN in the industry. It is very easy to install on any device including Amazon Fire TV Stick. Also, it comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee. If you don’t like their service, you can always ask for a refund.
