Amazon’s Fire TV technology is the retail giant’s entry into the media streaming world. Fire TV comes packaged in many different devices, including on smart TVs and as the Fire TV Stick. It allows users to stream TV, movies, news, and music from a multitude of apps, including Amazon Prime, Netflix, Hulu, Disney+, YouTube, and more. You can get more out of your Fire TV by pairing it with a virtual private network service like HotBot VPN. By installing HotBot VPN on your Amazon Fire TV devices, you can:
- Unblock geo-locked content. Geo-locks are put in place to prevent users in one country from watching content in another country. Of course, this can be really frustrating, especially when you’re dying to watch something but can’t. By using a VPN to change your virtual location, you can get around geo-locks.
- Stream privately. Embarrassed to be watching that cheesy (but so addicting) soap opera at two in the morning? When you stream through a VPN, you improve your digital privacy and can hide some of your awkward TV habits.
- Avoid buffering. Some ISPs will automatically slow your internet speeds when they see you doing an activity that takes up a lot of bandwidth, such as streaming. This often results in the dreaded buffer. By hiding your activity with a VPN, you prevent your ISP from slowing you down and interrupting movie night.
Installing HotBot VPN on your Amazon Fire TV devices takes only a few, easy steps.
