Hello, I need a vpn working with amazon fireTv stick. I have installed NordVpn on my router but amazon prime and netflix works on pc only, and not on amazon fire stick. It can see the vpn and doesn't permit streaming. I need a VPN that have a working server in Italy cause i use italian streaming almost time. Do anyone know a full forking vpn with these characteristic?
Is it possible to hyde vpn to amazon fire stick without disable it on my router?
I see that is possible to root amazon fire tv stick. Routing is it possible to install netflix or amazon prime apk not from amazon store? (now I can install apk, but it does't permit amazon prime and netflix if not from amazon store).
Thank you!

Just buy a subscription with one of the main advertised vpns, some apps will not let you access with a VPN though but you can tunnel those as the ones it doesn't work with like prime etc I don't see why you'd need a VPN anyway

Hi!
I want to know if the Amazon Fire TV works outside US without VPN.
Can I buy an US Amazon Fire TV to use Netflix in Belgium (because now it's available)?
Can I add some application from Google Play?
Of course, for using Google Play I will root the device.
Thanks !

I live in the Netherlands. Yes, you can use the FTV outside the US. Except that all the &*#&@*&# Amazon services
like Prime etc. don't work unless your IP is in either Germany, US or UK. Same thing for e.g. Hulu+. I didn't try VPN
yet. On my Fritzbox DSL modem it's a bit of a pain to configure VPN.
AFAIK, Netflix works ok. I tried one movie I think when I got the FTV last week. I'm mostly using my AppleTV for
Netflix, because I find the interface much easier to navigate. On the FTV, Netflix is using the same interface as e.g.
on SmartTV (e.g. Philips) or the PS3/PS4.
Firmware updates also arrive from Amazon. This week I got the latest and now I can't root the FTV. That was not
so much of a deal, because my main purpose was a good (cheap) Android/ARM based box to use XBMC/Kodi.
I think via eBay I paid ~80 euros for it.
In XBMC, 1080p MKVs with DD+/TrueHD/DTS work provided you use Kodi 14.0 (still in alpha). Bitstreaming to an
external receiver is ok. You can easily sideload XBMC via adb.
You're limited to the Amazon appstore. I think it's possible to download a apk from Google Play, then sideload it. Only issue
is that it (probably) won't show up in the launcher/homescreen of the FTV, so you have to start the app via the settings
menu.
I got Amazon prime to work just using a smart DNS provider (didn't change my IP). it was a while ago so can't remember exactly how I did it. I have a valid US account/credit card and address. Think I had to enable 1-click to buy an episode or even to watch the trailers/free episodes.
Yes, Fire TV, the device itself, works outside of the US; but many of the streaming services will not (Hulu plus, Pandora, Beats Music ...) because of the complicated copyright laws. If all you want is to watch Netflix in Belgium, Fire TV purchased from US will work for you with no problem. If later you decide to go through the hassle of rooting your Fire TV, you may consider installing the VPN on it as well. That way, you will have access to more apps and services such as: Spotify, A&E etc.

Thank you all !
Not only Netflix but for the Amazon application yes. I plan to install some applications on Google Play to watch local channels.
Works well down under
Works very well, as mentioned.
Can side load apps.
Easy to set up a DNS to view the world as you may require.
Cheers

1) If you are not rooted and want to use US/UK content, you will have to subscribe to a smart dns provider. VPN is not possible in fire tv if you are not rooted(unless of course if you have a router with VPN capabilities). But if you don't want to use US/UK content but want to play few games and may be use Kodi, then you don't need VPN or DNS
2) To update the Fire tv there is no need of VPN or DNS

My parents are in India and their earlier firetv got updated to the latest firmware thus loosing root. If what you said were true, that would have saved me a whole cross country swap.

I am sorry. I didn't understand what you said Are you agreeing with me that VPN is not required for Fire TV upgrade?
Yes VPN is not required to upgrade the firetv's firmware.
I'm hoping someone can help me.
I'm in Canada and have firestick.. I have ironsocket's SmartDNS, and it works for the basic content from FireTV.
I sideloaded the XFinity app (I have a valid Xfinity login -- my friend has service in California).
Unfortunately the Live TV channels don't work within the XFINITY app. (When I use the XFINITY app on my Android phone using OPENVPN client with a US server, it works fine).
I have a Fire TV stick and Fire TV (That can't be rooted as it's brand new).
I plan to get a router that supports VPN in the next couple of weeks.
Is there anything I can try before that to get xfinity app working?
Thanks in advance.

I've emailed IronSocket and they're working on it.
Hope they get a working solution in place soon.
Just wanted to follow up about XFINITY app.
IronSocket (after I submitted a trouble ticket) got it working within a few hours using.
I live in Italy and to buy the fire tv stick I should resort to amazon germany. However, before making the purchase I would understand if I can be useful. Let me know if I can connect, via wifi, with the browsers of tv stick to the sites that show the sport in clear and if I can connect to the sites which broadcast streaming tv series.
I would avoid to connect to the sites with the tablet and then transmitt , with google Chromecast, program on TV. Is it possible with fire tv stick?
Thanks a lot

Get Kodi, as far as I know I reckon about 90% of people who have a fire tv stick use Kodi on it to stream Movies/tv/sports/soaps/music on. Look it up It's pretty easy to put it onto as well, plus you don't need to root/unlock it to use it ether. Hope this helps.

Probably not, depends on the site and what browser you use. Kodi however, will have access to live sports if you look in the right places.
For Kodi from an Android device to Chromecast, I believe you can get an app called Kodicast for this (or just mirror - but laggy.)
Edit:
I misread your question about Chromecast. The Fire Stick does support mirroring from an Android device via Miracast, so yes you should be able to stream content from the tablet to the Fire Stick. Although you will find almost everything you need within Kodi.

If you have the right stuff on your phone or tablet you can mirror it to your AFTV, like before I was watching American content (which was blocked in the UK) on Kodi using a VPN on my phone which was being mirrored via my Amazon Fire Tv stick on my telly. If you've not tried Kodi yet dont wait any longer.... You won't be sorry

The fire tv stick does not have a native "browser" to enter an address. However, you can sideload a browser(chrome or ]firefox) and try it. But if you sideload Kodi, you can install addons that can stream Rojadirecta.
the last thing. if I buy from amazon germany can I setup menù in english? I suppose that italian language is not available

Hi Gulluwing
You can use Firefox as a browser. But it's not very comfortable to access the streams (mousesupport needed via app on smartphone). Also you need to install acestream support. Not sure if this works. But i will try
For Italian TV Shows and movies i recommend this App: KUIU. Don't search in Play Store. You won't find it.
To install easily apps on your fire TV Stick use following App which you can download from Play Store: Apps2fire.
I prefer a premium IPTV provider and a app called LazyIPTV. I'm also using a synology nas so i'm hooked up to my box with DS Video. I just miss a VPN functionality.
Hi,
It seems that the Fire stick 1st gen its not compatible with VPN, I want to legally watch HBO Now outside US, not using Kodi, do I have any other option? DNS change or something like that?
Thanks.
