How to Install PureVPN on FireStick

Is it possible to setup the PureVPN app on an Amazon Fire TV or FireStick. PureVPN is a VPN service provider which many people use to protect their online privacy as well as bypass regional restrictions while abroad. Similarly to other VPNs, PureVPN offer their users applications that can be installed on Windows PC, Mac, Android, or iOS devices. But what about the Fire Stick? Can you install PureVPN on a FireStick?

How to Install PureVPN on a Fire Stick?

You can actually download and install the PureVPN app on your Fire Stick. All you have to do is search for the app on the Fire TV and then install it. There’s one big issue though, due to compatibility issues, you won’t be able to use your Amazon Fire TV with Alexa Voice Remote to sign in or navigate through the application. Some people suggest using an Android app called Fire TV Remote Launcher to get around this problem. However, the app’s mouse feature isn’t free. Additionally, you need an Android Smartphone to operate that app. All in all, it’s inconvenient. Instead of all this, why not sign up with a VPN service provider that actually offers a VPN app that is fully compatible with Fire Stick or Amazon Fire TV?

6. Next, Select the ‘Get’ button to download the app.
7. Once it has downloaded and installed, choose ‘Open’.
8. Then, sign into the VPN app using your ExpressVPN Username and Password.
