Best Live TV Kodi Addons – Use VPN
Depending on the region you are living in, some of the Live TV Kodi addons listed above might be geoblocked. That means you cannot watch live US, UK, Canadian, German, or Australian TV channels via Kodi due to regional restrictions. In other countries, using these Kodi addons might be illegal. As a result, your ISP might send you a copyright infringement notice directly to your email. Luckily, there is a workaround that allows you to bypass geographic restrictions as well as protect your privacy while using Kodi.
VPN, or virtual private network, basically is a tool that allows you to hide your IP address and encrypt all of your Internet traffic. The biggest benefits of using VPN are as follows.
- Unblock Geo-restricted Kodi Add-ons: There are a lot of Kodi addons that you can only use in certain regions such as FreeView, BBC iPlayer, Channel 4, and ITV addons. With VPN you can bypass regional restrictions.
- Bypass ISP Throttling: Ever noticed that your Internet speed is decent if you are browsing websites but suddenly drops when you are watching videos online? If that is the case, your ISP is probably throttling your Internet speed. Using VPN basically allows you to avoid that from happening.
- Ultimate Privacy: Your ISP will not be able to see what sites you visit, files you download, or videos you stream.
- VPN Applications: You don’t have to be a tech-freak to setup a VPN connection. VPN apps on PC, Mac, Android, iOS, and FireStick make the whole process fairly simple.
From personal experience, ExpressVPN is the best VPN service you can use with Kodi. They have optimized their VPN apps to work better with Kodi add-ons and have a no-logs policy. Simply sign up with IPVanish. Then download their app to the same device you use Kodi on. Finally, launch the app, sign in, and connect to a VPN server of your choice.
