Le Fire TV Stick 4K is without a doubt one of the best video streaming solutions today, with a quite unbeatable quality / price ratio. But, despite being a subscriber to many perfectly legal streaming services, you may experience some frustration about not having access to all of the content on your platform. The solution? It's NordVPN!
Likewise, there may be times when you want "Listen to ostis of good films" that you can't find with us, or even wanting to use your HDMI dongle in a hotel or vacation rental without risking your credentials leaking and exposing your equipment to hackers. In short, you may have understood, we are talking about the idea of calling on a VPN for Fire TV Stick !
Eh? What's that? It's all done!
Prerequisite: have a Amazon Fire TV Stick
We talk about it regularly: the key to streamingAmazon is ideal for connecting all televisions as we regularly explain in our tutorials and tests Amazon Fire TV.
Why use a VPN?
- Security : the use of a VPN is particularly recommended, not to say essential, on public Wi-Fi networks: hotels, bars, restaurants, libraries, train stations and airports. Indeed, open Wi-Fi networks are real playgrounds for hackers who wish to access your personal data, sometimes just for fun, but more often with bad intentions.
- Access French services from abroad and vice versa: more and more services are setting up geographic restrictions, including television channels, video streaming platforms like Netflix or Prime Video, music services like Spotify or Amazon Music Unlimited, and generally even banks! If you are traveling or living abroad, it may therefore be worthwhile to bypass this limitation. Note, however, that connections from abroad to consult your bank account in France may be interpreted as hacking attempts. So be careful.
- Overcome limitations: access the Internet without limitation in certain countries which filter communications such as China, to name but one, and secure your connection by encrypting it end to end.
NordVPN on Fire TV Stick: a simple, fast and cheap VPN
It is NordVPN that we have chosen as an example today. Why? Because it is one of the fastest and most reliable VPNs on the market, because the company has more than 5 servers in 660 countries, but also because NordVPN does not store our data as evidenced by its certification following its audit by PricewterhouseCoopers.
In addition, NordVPN is of a childish simplicity to put in place since it offers apps for all platforms : Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, iOS, Android TV and therefore Fire TV. Usually you just need to install it and click on "Connect" for secure the device where you installed the app. We could not manage to be simpler!

Great ! On the other hand if I select a foreign country I imagine that the film will be in the language of the selected country?
Not necessarily… In the case of Netflix, to name just this service, most films have a French version or at least French subtitles on the US version. In our captures, the entire Netflix US interface is squarely in French with US selections and the films are launched in VF, it's quite surprising but it seems that NordVPN is the only VPN service not blocked by Netflix. Why? No idea, but to have experimented it is very complicated to see downright impossible with the others and really simple with the latter. 😉
Hello it only works on Netflix, I didn't succeed with it on Amazon Bonus?
Hello,
Not all services accept VPNs, just as not all Netflix accepts all of them. As for Prime Video, it is regionalized and dependent on your account. Amazon. In other words, you need an account Amazon.com to access its American version.
I am disgusted. I used with apple tv to install my apps without problem. I took two firetv but being in dom (Martinique) IMPOSSIBLE to install the apps (direct refusal). And the problem with VPN is that it's great with a big connection. but at 8000 kms with an ADL of 10 meg it is not even worth it. So is there a solution or the trash? Thank you
Sorry for you, but we can't answer you enough. Have you attempted to install the applications from Amazon.Fr? This could work from the application store on the site.
Hello, try to install your apps with downloader that you download via the firetv internet app. I installed myCANAL like this.
It is indeed a solution. 🙂
I ordered and installed NordVPN on my Firestick key Amazon. Easy. Unfortunately, Nord VPN and Netflix are not always compatible. Contact made with Netflix: cannot always guarantee access via a procy; contact made with NordVPN (very courteous and professional): could not solve my pb, even after long manipulations. Reimbursed without pb.
It may depend on the servers indeed, but overall it works very well and even better than others. Note, however, that practicality is not "normal". 😉
I just bought a firestick 4K stick and am not able to install the Nordvpn. I went through Amazon, by downloder and I still have the same log in with your device message and it gives me a code. I do not know what to do anymore. Thank you for helping me.
You need to be a NordVPN subscriber, of course, and then enter that code into your NordVPN account. 🙂
Hello, I have just installed Vpn on my fire stick, it works for Netflux, Prime and Disney +, on the other hand on the American catalogs the video quality is awful and pixelated, yet I have fiber.
Is there a way to gain quality by a trick or a change of setting?
Thank you
Hello,
Try to change the server, it is probably simply related to the quality of the latter. NordVPN offers special servers for streaming. 🙂
Have a good day
