I have a fire stick with kodi and other apps loaded. Is it posible to run a vpn with kodi?
I have tried various vpns some i can open on the stick but i cant tell if my ip is changing or its still using my true ip. Is there a step im missing out.
Im not sure what infomation you need to help me. Its a later firestick was bought last month. Kodi is from the fusion build. Cyberghost, unseenonline will open and connect to a server. Openelec is installed aswell.

I don't think I read your post correctly the first time. To check your IP you can use speed test app and go to settings it will show your broadcasting IP address.

Yes, you can install a VPN on Firestick. Currently, ExpressVPN works great because it is the fastest VPN in my opinion after the NordVPN.

I dont know if there is anything wrong with the spotify connect offer in the amazon store for the Fire TV 2 but mine almost never works. My cell phone never find my amazon fire tv 2, it only sees my receiver. It used to work perfectly with my fire stick but since I upgrade to a FTV 2 no luck. It could be a problem with the app or with teh FTV 2, dont know. I am temping to use one of the apps posted here.

The 0.3 version posted here I believe came from a FTV 2 ... sounds like similar issues to what I experienced running it on the Shield TV, not found, only plays a couple of tracks before stopping.

Hey there, trying to see if hola.apk works on AFTV.
I get this error message when I run hola and try to run an apk from hola.
it says
Error Showing VPN Service Dialog
Error trying to show the Android 4.0+ VPN service dialog
this shouldnt happen and it is a standard feature of Android 4.0+
but your Android device may not support VPN auto configuration
Can someone help me?

If I remember correctly, the FireOS does not have the normal Android VPN client. There are instructions on getting DroidVPN client working in the following thread, but I'm not sure whether that would work in conjunction with Hola..

despite the fact i have a rooted aft i still got the same message about VPN auto-configuration mentioned above.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Hola strictly a browser VPN? Meaning that it works in conjunction with specified websites and not the whole connection?

It's not just the browser - you get to chose the app that you want geo-located elsewhere and the traffic to that address is tunneled. Netflix, Pandora, Amazon are the sites I usually use Hola to simulate US location.
As far as the VPN auto-cfg message...I don't know, could be the AFTV version: I still have the old rootable one.
I have 2 fire tv's both running same software versions hola works fine on 1. The other gives me vpn error. They are mirror images of each other, I can't for the life of me find the reason one works and not the other. The only work around I've found is going to an older version of hola. Unfortunately it's the version that requires use of mouse

yes can someone post the updated app. want to test on the fire tv stick

Does anyone have and could post the "WatchABC" APK, of this New APP for the Fire-TV?
I have it. Strangely this is not yet available for the 2nd gen Fire TV, but is available for the 1st. Where's a good place I can upload it to?
post it here the app is free so not warez... or there is a sideload apk thread on here that would be good too. just post link here in case someone else wants to test.

Okay I can confirm it works on the 1st Gen Fire TV Stick. If you have issues go into settings force close and clear cache before opening again. 1st time it worked and then I had could not connect to server issues but after doing that step it started working again. One other issue is that shows don't show up in the shows tab but you can access the latest aired episodes on the home page and even verify your service provider.

The Watch ABC app does and does it for free. However, the FireTV version seems to have LOWER quality than a sideloaded one from my phone (that requires a mouse to operate.) CBS has an app, but you have to pay to stream. NBC has a Sports Extra app that should live stream sports events, but I don't know about shows.
I'm a cord cutter and was planning on installing a large antenna on my roof to get the local networks. Instead, I got a relative to rent an additional cable box in their home and I bought a Slingbox to stream the video to my Fire TVs. I pay them $10 per month, which is the cost for the additional box, and get access to all their channels. The quality is good, but the slingbox app for the FireTV could be better. I wish the supreme court sided with Aereo. That would have been an acceptable solution, too.

If your not prepared to buy the app follow my guide to downgrade your Fire stick to 5.0.5 if your Wukong remote works with that os version.

Mouse toggle works on OS 5? I bought it awhile ago but stopped working when i updated to 5. Really find it essential for file explorer and occasionally xfinity tv app. Dont use it often but hate connecting a mouse just for a simple click now & then.

Yes, The app is compatible with the latest Fire TV OS but it needs to be updated. Here is a link with the directions to update the Mouse Toggle app:

If you have any issues please send a email to the address in the app.
Thank you
Yes there is one....
It is there...
An app called "remote for fire TV" by guidology.
It is available on Amazon app store.
But it is a paid app. But way cheaper than purchasing any wireless or airmouse.
I have a favor to ask.
The client app (the one which installs on your phone) isn't available anywhere online for poor people like me to try before buying.
If anyone has bought this app after reading my post.
Please consider posting the phone app's link in a reply to my post.
Thank you.

Will need a bit more info.
Are you blocking updates thru the router or opendns method ? Had you blocked updates thri the router &/or opendns for other FTV(S)'s before and left things in place ? Are you running a VPN on it? What app market location are you in or are trying to access?

If you had worked on FTV's before. You could had left update blocking up on your router. So had to ask to clarify.
http://www.aftvnews.com/amazon-fire-tv-stick-and-amazon-appstore-launch-in-india/
The app selection on the Fire TV Stick in India is much more limited than in any other country because paid apps and apps with in-app purchasing are not yet supported in the Indian Amazon appstore. Although my Downloader app is 100% free, it does have in-app purchasing enabled to accept donations, so my Downloader app is not yet allowed in India. I’ll try to find out when apps with in-app purchasing will be allowed on Indian Fire TVs. If it seems like something that won’t be available for a while, I’ll release a version of my Downloader app in India with the donation buttons removed.

Change to English(UK) & see if that helps. Not sure if you will have to add a UK address in you account for it to work right. Also read the comments to see what others are experiencing. Seems the India FTV App Store is bare bones at the moment.
