As the world migrates to the digital platform, most of our interests are now “trapped” inside of our laptop, smartphone, and tablet’s screens. Other gadgets have appeared to help us access more content on the web, and one of them is the Amazon Fire TV.
The Amazon Fire TV is a digital media player powered and developed by e-commerce giants Amazon. The company has been experimenting with streaming services and devices for quite some time now, and it now competes with Netflix and Hulu thanks to the Amazon Prime Video; as well as it fights for a sizable share of the streaming devices market thanks to the Fire TV, Fire Stick, and Fire TV Cube.
Kodi, on the other hand, is an open source software project that functions as an online-powered streaming service. It has numerous movies, TV series, documentaries, concerts, music, and even games available, with the opportunity to enjoy live sporting events as well.
Kodi 就像一个巨大的可定制拼图，由称为附加组件的碎片提供内容。每个附加组件都能为用户提供一些内容，而且种类繁多：电影、电视剧、体育、音乐等等。附加组件可以是官方的（由 XBMC 基金会审核和检查），也可以是非官方的。通常，后者是最令人兴奋的一种。
The Kodi service is available on most of the widely known platforms, such as Windows, Mac, Linux, Android, iOS, Raspberry Pi, and the Xbox One. However, you won’t find it natively in any of the Fire OS devices, but there is good news: you can use Kodi on the Amazon Fire TV after a quick configuration process.

通过 VPN 使用 Kodi
通过 VPN 使用 KodiKodi, being an open source software, can get you in contact with undesired agents on the web, such as hackers or malware developers. The Internet universe isn’t the safest, especially if you go around the app installing unofficial add-ons.
To protect yourself from the possible advances of a hacker, and to access add-ons that may be blocked by geographical location, a VPN is the most appropriate tool. VPNs mean Virtual Private Networks, which are online apps that can encrypt your content and hide your IP address, giving you a new, temporary one to virtually “connect” to other nations and avoid being blocked by area.
IPBurger is a perfectly adequate alternative if you want to use Kodi on your Amazon Fire TV. It will offer end to end protection via robust encryption, and it is very affordable too: it has four plans, the cheapest of them ay $5 per month. With IPBurger, you will be able to choose between shared and dedicated IP addresses.
In conclusion, using Kodi on your Amazon Fire TV may be a little trickier than doing it on other operating systems, but it is possible, and it only requires some patience. To access geo-blocked add-ons, use a VPN, and your streaming experience will dramatically improve.
