Fire TV Guru Kodi 17 Krypton Build – Use VPN!
First, let me say that I highly recommend using VPN along with Kodi. You can watch almost any movies, live streams, or TV shows you want using unofficial Kodi builds. However, it comes at a risk. ISPs can spy on what you are streaming online. Therefore, you might end up receiving a warning letter, or worse, a copyright infringement notice. Before using any unofficial Kodi builds, make sure you are connected to a VPN server. This way, all of your Internet connection will be encrypted. You can then carry on with your browsing activities privately. Simply follow these instructions.
- Head over to ExpressVPN and sign up for a VPN account.
- Download/install the VPN software onyour Kodi device.
- After opening the VPN app, connect to a VPN server.
- Finally, open Kodi and watch any movie, TV show, or live stream completely anonymous.
ExpressVPN are the best Kodi VPN service you can use. This is mainly because their VPN apps are optimized to work with Kodi. You can even install their VPN app directly on your FireStick. Here are the best Kodi VPN services as of 2017.

I am fairly new to using Kodi, so I’m sorry if this is a well known thing. I just installed fire tv guru and added a bunch of shows to my library. Now, I was getting ready to watch one of my shows, but I can’t find the library. How do I get to my shows?
Greaxing8,
My install was successful and I’m enjoying it thus far. My only question, is, and please forgive me off it’s a stupid question, but, once the install was completed, i wasn’t able to access my actual Kodi system, such as the settings and things of that nature. I can only see the firetyguru. The reason being, to delete ares wizard and add on Covenant, bandwidth and storage use. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

I am getting an error that the FireTV Guru install failed. I’ve tried a few different ways, but don’t know how to make it work.
Does it matter what IPVanish server I connect to?
Usually, the closer the VPN server you connect to the better.
I keep getting an error pop when trying to install the build
