How to Install Official Kodi Addons

The Kodi comes with a number of pre-installed addons you can directly setup. Just follow these instructions.

1. Launch Kodi.
2. Go to ‘Videos’ -> ‘Addons’.
3. Select ‘Get more…’
4. You will be presented with a list of all the official video Kodi addons.
5. Choose the channel you want.
6. Click ‘Install’ and wait for the ‘Add-on enabled’ notification.
7. Go back to the home screen.
8. Select Videos -> Addons and then click on the channel you have installed.

Depending on the region/country you are living in, the Kodi addon might be geoblocked i.e. you are not allowed to watch it. For instance, let’s say you have installed the iPlayer Kodi addon. After you launch the addon and try to watch any video on it, you will be presented with an error message that states you are living outside the UK and thus are not eligible to watch that channel. If you want to bypass regional restrictions on Kodi, you have to use VPN. More on that below.

Use VPN with Kodi – Why and How?

As already mentioned, VPN helps you unblock geoblocked Kodi addons.

• Without VPN, you will not be able to stream videos via most official Kodi addons since they are geo-restricted.
• The other, and probably the more important, reason to use VPN, is to be able watch movies/TV shows anonymously on Kodi. See, your ISP can see what you are doing online; whether that is browsing, streaming, or downloading.
• That is why many Kodi users receive copyright infringement notices in their email inboxes.

If you are serious about your privacy, you need to use VPN. It encrypts all of your traffic and hides your IP address along the way. Nobody will be able to spoof on your online actives.

The best VPN service you can use to get online anonymity is ExpressVPN. There are other VPN providers that allow you to browse the web anonymously, but from my experience, ExpressVPN work the best with Kodi.
