How to Stay Safe on SPMC – Use VPN on FireStick

There are many Kodi/SPMC addons that are geoblocked. Using VPN, virtual private network, allows you to bypass geographic restrictions and unblock these addons with ease. But, more importantly, VPN encrypts all of your traffic. This process prevents ISP and government agencies from eavesdropping on what you are doing online. Your browsing, streaming, and downloading activities can all be monitored. If you want to hide your IP address, you need to use VPN.

IPVanish are probably the best VPN service to use in order to watch movies and TV shows anonymously on SPMC or otherwise. Follow this tutorial in order to install VPN on any FireStick. You can also use any of the other VPNs below as well, but I cannot guarantee that they will work on FireStick.
