The Kodi has become one of the most popular solutions for digital entertainment – movies, television shows, web series, sports events, live broadcasts, music and even downloading such content. However, the internet can be a dirty place, and you need something to protect yourself from cyber-attacks – hereby, requiring a VPN, or a Virtual Private Network. A VPN enables you to securely access all kinds of online content and protects your personal information and location at the same time. As you stream content from all over the internet, here are some reasons why you should install VPN on Kodi.
Sometimes, you find that specific content is not permitted for your region. A VPN transcends such geographical boundaries and allows you to view any online content without invading your privacy. There are some geographically-restricted Kodi add-ons to restrict you from content that have been banned due to legal agreements and partnerships; a VPN ‘disguises’ your location so that you can view and download content on any paid streaming services such as Netflix, Amazon, and Hulu.
Sometimes, you don’t want your Internet Service Provider to track down the websites and content you have been streaming – especially if you’re using Kodi add-ons. A VPN encrypts your IP address and location and hides them, which keeps your personal information, search history and sources of your internet traffic protected and secure. It’s a bonus since you’re streaming content from all kinds of websites, and you don’t want your information to be misused.
Nobody likes a constantly-buffering movie, and a VPN promises you a smooth and clear internet connection – no matter where you are, and what the weather outside is like, you will be able to access the latest release before anyone else does by connecting your VPN to your desired region and streaming brand-new unreleased content for your entertainment cravings.
In some western countries such as the United States and Canada, sports channels such as MLB.tv, NFL GamePass, and ESPN impose blackout restrictions on live games. With a VPN, you can easily access such content – whether you’re on the official sports channel or using a Kodi add-on.
Here’s how you can install and set up a VPN on Kodi, as follows –
You can either use a whole VPN system for your everyday internet business, or a VPN designed explicitly for Kodi traffic through VPN-split tunneling. After the basic installation, all you need to look out for your preferred Kodi add-ons, Kodi lives add-ons and various other Kodi plugins for your purpose.
It could be a problem to install a VPN on specific Kodi-embedded operating systems such as LibreELEC, OSMC, and OpenELEC – for which you can use a Kodi add-on for easy access. On the other hand, installing a VPN is a simple matter for other operating systems such as Linux, Windows, Android, Mac, and iOS. VPNs are generally used with Usenet or Torrent, but with the steady increase in Kodi services, you would do well with a good VPN to trust with your online security.
As precautionary advice, it is always recommended to select a reliable VPN for your online content streaming. VPN prices can range anywhere from being ridiculously expensive to free ones – some of which turn out to be untrustworthy regarding safety.
