How To Install Opera VPN on FireStick

Opera is one of the few browsers whose team was smart enough to go ahead and design an inbuilt VPN service that allows their customers to cover up their tracks in case they’d want to stay anonymous, or hide their location if they’d want to access restricted websites. If you already have your Amazon Fire Stick set up, then you might want to consider installing Opera VPN so that you can stream your favourite TV shows, movies and live broadcasts from regionally restricted websites and Kodi. We’ve done some research on our end, to check whether it’s actually possible to install Opera VPN onto your Amazon Fire Stick. You can find the results below.

Installing Opera VPN on FireStick – How Possible Is It?

Before we go through the steps, there are probably a few individuals who might still be skeptical about how possible it is to install the app, and this is expected. Amazon’s Fire Stick software isn’t the most compatible, so it might take longer than usual to get it to work with Opera VPN especially if you’re not quite sure about what you’re doing.

The two things you need to be aware about are mainly the fact that Fire Stick is setup to have a landscape view, and you pretty much won’t be able to change that. The other thing is the lack of touch screen support. You’ll have to stick to using your mouse & keyboard, remote, or any other controllers to navigate through the service.

Therefore, most VPNs don’t work properly on the Fire Stick. This, unfortunately, included Opera VPN
