Posted on August 28th, 2018 by Quertime Team in Web Tools

Amazon Prime Stick is an essential item of the audience of the digital medium or the medium that is functionalized and accessed through the internet. Security and privacy for streaming stick addicts are a necessity these days. This article tries to help out the readers to recognize the best Fire Stick tricks out there.

In 2014 when it was introduced, the Fire TV Stick was Amazon’s rival to Chromecast. Whenever the device is plugged into an HDMI port, it will allow any smart TV to stream content over a stable and secure Wi-Fi network, effectively turning the digi-set into a very well-featured smart internet TV.

However, most of the content that is available is usually geo-locked, meaning that it can be only available from a particular country or region due to the likeness of content licensing agreements and broadcast Rights of the area. Of course, one way you can get through such content blocking is by using one of the best VPNs.

The 5 most useful VPNs (Virtual Private Network) to help the fellow Internet users are discussed here below:

1. ExpressVPN

ExpressVPN is the top pick for the best all-around VPN, and specifically for Fire TV and Fire TV Stick. With over 2000 servers in more than 100 countries, this British Virgin Islands-based provider offers a lot of connection choices. In its testing, it was that the found speeds were fractionally lower than our standard rates on shorter hops, with little change in long-distance connections. ExpressVPN mainly provides a high level of technical guidance, including all sorts of troubleshooting guides and 24/7 live chat assistant support, plus you can also get in touch via email, whichever is more convenient to you.

2. IPVanish

IPVanish indeed provides the best performance in the front line, over both short sights and long-distance connections, with the former being up to five or more times quicker than some of the local rivals, and the latter shows a commendable average of an increase of 15% in the download speeds. There are plenty of public servers to choose from, with impressive global coverage. One downside worth mentioning is that when the firm’s customer support was tested out, it results in sluggish in responding, which isn’t ideal if you do run into a problem.

3. VyprVPN

This VPN is quite fast and can deliver more than twice of our normal download speed rates, which will be pure streaming heaven for users watching 4K content (or full HD, for that matter). The server count is quite impressive as well, with over 700 servers in 70+ different but well-connected locations around the globe. The provider also has its DNS solution, and it always maintains a ‘no logs’ policy, although some session logging may take place– which might not be appropriate for everyone.

4. NordVPN

Usually, NordVPN has a higher and better performance, with impressive speeds on short end connections, and some very beneficial results with longer distances. There are plenty of servers to choose from, too. The provider has video tutorials on how to set up the router with a VPN or share the VPN connection from your PC to use the service with the Fire Stick. Since recently, there is also a dedicated Android TV app that you can download from Amazon Appstore and use it with the users’ Fire TV.

5. Buffered VPN

This Hungarian-based service provider offers the most impressive and high-performance levels, with five and more simultaneous connections supported. During the review, an issue was encountered where a specific website wouldn’t load due to the VPN – and this might well be a one-off, but it is still something to note. Buffered has 44 server locations and while that number isn’t as huge as most of the other VPNs, but they have all the significant places so it doesn’t make a huge difference. The network has an informative tutorial on how to set up and use the Amazon’s Fire Stick so there won’t be any problems for the user. If any problems occur, there is an extensive FAQ and live chat support to help the use troubleshoot his problems. This VPN makes it clear that it doesn’t log any online activity so that your privacy will be well protected.

Performance is the key factor and is always essential for online streaming, so you would want a VPN provider that offers fast and reliable connections. A proper server count is helpful for finding a swift and fast server – as the more options you have, the better. It is also good to have a lightweight app which won’t affect performance levels, too.
