Using VPN with Kodi – Why and How?

In general, I always recommend using VPN along side Kodi for multiple reasons. First, you never truly know where some third-party Kodi addons get their movie and TV shows streams from. That means that if your ISP traces what you are doing online, you can end up getting a warning letter because of what you are watching on Kodi. This especially applies in UK, Australia, Canada, Germany, and USA. To stay on the safe side, use VPN.

By connecting to a VPN server all your traffic is encrypted. Nobody will be able to track what you are doing online regardless of which apps or browsers you are using. You can also use VPN to bypass geographic restrictions and watch streaming channels that would normally not be available in your region.

With that being said, some VPN services work better with Kodi than others. ExpressVPN has impressed me the most so far, but here’s a list of other VPN providers I have also given a go.

As a last piece of advice, make sure you download the Kodi installation file via the official Kodi website only. Do not trust other sites. Also, always run your VPN connection before you start watching movies or TV shows via Kodi. Never take your online privacy for granted.
