How to Hack FireStick in 3 Simple Steps

Is It Illegal to Hack A FireStick?

Given that the Amazon FireStick is your private property, you are free to do with it as you wish like doing. For example, downloading Kodi on a Fire TV is completely legal.

However, you can potentially get into legal trouble for watching pirated streams or using illegal Kodi addons. This is why we do recommend using a VPN on your Fire Stick. That way, your ISP can no longer see what you are doing online as you’re completely anonymous.

First Step: Hide IP on FireStick

The first step of hacking your FireStick is the most important. You need to install a VPN in order to hide your IP address to prevent your ISP from spying on what you are watching on your FireStick. This means you will not get copyright infringement notices regardless of what you are doing online.

Not many VPNs work on the FireStick. However, ExpressVPN does. So, if you want to enable VPN on your Fire Stick, I’d suggest signing up with ExpressVPN. Once done, follow these steps.

ExpressVPN are one of the first VPN service providers to have a dedicated VPN app for the Amazon Fire TV and FireStick. Setting it all up is pretty straight forward. The VPN app itself is free, but you do need an account to sign in. Let me help you out with the process:

1. To kick it off, sign up with ExpressVPN. 
2. After that, turn on your Amazon Fire TV and navigate to Apps.
3. After that, visit Categories and then Utility.
4. On the next page, choose ExpressVPN’s application. You can use the search option for a faster approach if you want.
5. Now, click on Get and install the application.
6. After that, launch the ExpressVPN app and sign in with your VPN credentials.
7. Now, choose a server and connect. If you’re just hiding your IP, any server would do.
8. Wait a few moments for the connection to take place.
9. Finally, you’re using FireStick with a hidden IP.

Step Two: Hack FireStick with Kodi

There are several ways you can use to jailbreak your Amazon Fire TV Stick. Setting up Kodi on it is the most popular.

Installing Kodi on your FireStick doesn’t require much of you. All you need to do is follow a few steps and you’re there. Oh, in order to do so, you need to install ES File Explorer, otherwise, this won’t work.

 

Get File Explorer on your Fire Stick

1. As a first step, head over to Developer Options. You’ll find that in your device’s settings.
   
2. Turn “Apps from Unknown Sources” on.
3. Click on Turn On.
   
4. Use the search feature on the main page of your Fire Stick.
5. Type in ES File Explorer.
6. Click on the application and hit download.
