It’s the quickest no-nonsense method that doesn’t make you go through complicated methods that might or might not work depending on when you read it. This method will work every single time regardless of whether you rock the Fire TV Stick or Cube.

You are here because you wanted to know how to jailbreak the Fire TV Stick in the quickest no-nonsense method, but while most guides mention how to install apps, what they don’t mention is that your location is often a bigger limit, depending on where you live.

Having DAZN on the Fire TV Stick is great until you can’t watch it because you are in the wrong country.

And that’s where having a VPN comes in.

A VPN is a virtual private network that keeps you safe on the internet and allows you to change your location, virtually.

Most of the guides mention VPN services just from the perspective of staying safe when accessing illegal content through encryption. With PrivateVPN you will be as safe as it gets with 2048-bit encryption with AES-256 with that being the highest level of encryption available on the market. But also due to features such as Killswitch which will kill your internet if a VPN stops working, or IPv6 Leak Protection which will prevent IP leaks, but that’s not why we are mentioning a VPN in this guide.

We find that a lot of people going for the illegal method of watching content because there’s no legal method for them to watch certain content in the first place. Location is a big issue. And that’s where a VPN plays a major role.

With a VPN you can unblock pretty much all services that are blocked in your location, even in China with censorship, if you use the right VPN service. Using a VPN is in many ways is a much way to jailbreak the Fire TV Stick than if you were just able to download any apps.

What’s the right VPN service as far as entertainment? It’s the one with servers that work with services rather than one that has the most servers. PrivateVPN doesn’t offer the most servers on the market, yet, somehow it works with the most Netflix regions on the market. It also works with services like DAZN and Hulu, regardless of where you are. It also comes with Stealth VPN to avoid censorship, and it’s available for download directly in the Amazon Appstore.

With that said, we know that some people want to also have Kodi on their devices, and we’ll walk you through how to install Kodi right now.

How to Install Kodi After You Jailbreak the Fire TV Stick

It starts with you searching for an app called Downloader on your Fire TV Stick. Downloader is a tool that lets you download on your Fire TV Stick, and in your case, it’s a way for you to download apps.

This is the quickest no-nonsense method so right away we will mention the problem with other guides. They often don’t link to the direct source and that often results in invalid links.
