Why do you need a VPN for Fire Stick?

You should use a VPN (Virtual Private Network) on your Amazon Fire TV Stick to:

Enhance privacy: snoops, hackers, and your ISP (Internet Service Provider) don’t need to know what you’re doing online — even on a public Wi-Fi network;

Beat bandwidth throttling: a VPN app can bypass throttling from your ISP that’s based on traffic type, letting you tap into smoother streaming;

Access more content

Access more content: trying to use your Fire TV device away from home? A VPN service can give you access to your favorite streaming apps as if you were on your very own couch.

Surfshark VPN vs. free VPNs

Hoping to find the best free VPN for your Fire Stick? Free VPNs usually offer a subpar experience, bombarding you with ads and selling your data to third parties. Surfshark, which provides the best value for the price, is a great Fire TV Stick VPN because it steers clear of all this while delivering:

Tracker-free browsing

There’s a good chance a free VPN will monitor your Fire TV activity. Surfshark doesn’t track what you’re doing on the web, giving you greater privacy as you surf.

Unlimited data

Free VPNs often restrict your browsing time by capping data. With Surfshark, you can use your Fire TV Stick freely without any data caps or limits.

High-speed connections

Surfshark’s 3200+ servers are equipped with 10Gbps ports, which enable a quicker VPN connection. Free tools usually only offer a few congested servers.

No ads

Free options will likely flood you with annoying ads — but not Surfshark. It even boasts an ad blocking feature that can reduce ads from major streaming services.

Heightened security

Surfshark offers robust data encryption to protect you from snoops or hackers. Free VPNs will likely compromise your safety by selling your data without your knowledge.

Advanced features

Don’t settle for a bare-bones VPN. Surfshark offers added features like its Kill Switch and DNS (Domain Name System) leak protection to take your online security even higher.
