The Best Software to Combat Fire TV Stick Vulnerabilities
Amazon Fire TV Sticks can be vulnerable to all sorts of cyberattacks. And many of these could be mitigated or prevented by using a VPN. Here are just a few examples.
Jailbreaking
A lot of people like to "jailbreak" their Fire TV Sticks. This means that you're able to access all of the functions that your device is capable of, including manually installing apps that can't be found on Amazon's store.
However, as easy as it is, the process of jailbreaking a Fire TV device opens up major vulnerabilities that could allow somebody to remotely take control of it, especially if you're on a shared network like in a hotel.
A VPN can hide your presence on networks and block attempts to hijack your connection.
Root Exploits
Even a quick online search can show you dozens of root exploits for Amazon Fire TV devices. A root exploit allows somebody to take full control of the device, installing anything they want, looking at login information, and more.
The easiest way to not be the victim of a root exploit is to not be seen as vulnerable. A VPN will hide your presence online so that people won't even be able to tell that you're streaming through a Fire TV.
Cryptomining Malware
It's possible that a threat actor might be able to access your Amazon device and install cryptomining malware on it. "Cryptomining" is the process of auditing cryptocurrency transactions in order to earn units of that particular currency. It is very resource intensive, so hackers will often install malware on other people's systems. That way they don't have to slow down their computer, but your Fire TV could become entirely unusable.
With a VPN, you'll be able to prevent your connection from being traced by threat actors and significantly reduce the chances you'll be the victim of malware of any kind.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I really need a VPN for Fire TV?
Without question, yes. A VPN provides the extra layers of security that you need to keep your Amazon Fire TV Stick safe. A high quality VPN like PrivadoVPN can foil many of the most common cyber attacks.
Beyond even that, your ISP might be recording everything you stream and how you stream it. This is a fairly common and almost flippant violation of your privacy. They can use this information to artificially limit your speeds, a process called "throttling", which makes it impossible to stream high quality content. A VPN can stop this from happening and defend your connection end-to-end.
How do VPNs protect Amazon Fire Stick connections?
A VPN defends your online privacy in two distinct, but complimentary ways.
- A VPN can hide your IP address by routing all of your traffic through a server located someplace else. With IP masking, your identity can't be seen by anyone who happens to be watching. Since PrivadoVPN uses only the highest quality traffic routes, your speeds will stay incredibly fast and your connections secure.
- A VPN can lock down all of your Amazon Fire TV data so that it stays encrypted while in transit to and from different servers. This not only foils packet sniffing and other online snooping, but it also keeps your ISP from recording your Internet activity or artificially slowing down your connection for certain types of data.
Is it illegal to use a VPN?
In most cases, it is not illegal to use a VPN. However, there are some places in the world where it might be.
Several countries put a strict limit on how you can connect to a VPN network. Often they only approve server locations that they can control, or companies that allow them access. This isn't to say that VPNs with a server in one of those countries is compromised, but residents and visitors might not be allowed to use certain security tools.
However, that is usually the exception. If you plan on traveling, consult a lawyer and the country's local laws to see if you could get in trouble if you access a VPN network. Most of the time you should have no problem with privacy tools like a VPN, but it doesn't hurt to do the research.
What kind of encryption does PrivadoVPN use?
We use the best encryption in the world, 256-bit, for our VPN network. Amazon Fire TV app users can feel safe on any PrivadoVPN server because of how strong this protocol is.
The "256" refers to how many numbers are used in the encryption key. In order to break that encryption, it would require a computer to try 2256 potential combinations. The world's fastest computer, which is roughly 1 million times faster than the average high-end Fire TV Stick system, would still take 27,337,893,038,406,611,194,430,009,974,922,940,323,611,067,429,756,962,487 years to break 256-bit encryption. Put another way: 27,337,893 trillion trillion trillion trillion years.
You can't beat that kind of security. It's another reason why PrivadoVPN is the best VPN for Fire TV.
What is the best Fire TV Stick VPN with a free account option?

Should I use the app or manually install the VPN?
We highly recommend that you install our official app on your Fire TV devices and use that to connect. There are several reasons for this.
First of all, manual installation can open up additional vulnerabilities that we've already accounted for. Our apps are tested and retested before they ever get released to prevent unauthorized access.
Secondly, the app is faster than a manual install. It doesn't require complex back end setup and it works a lot more quickly than a direct OpenVPN connection.
Finally, using our app is just easier. We've spent countless hours debating the UI to make sure that it's as simple as possible to choose a server and secure your data. The PrivadoVPN Fire TV Stick app is the product of teams of people asking themselves, "What is going to make it easy for our customers to get the best possible security?" You don't have to worry about your connection when you're using our app.
