Protect Yourself After Jailbreaking a Firestick

After you have jailbroken a firestick, it’s very important to understand the risks involved when using 3rd party applications.

Since 3rd party applications aren’t available within trusted app stores like Amazon or Google Play, we consider these applications to be “unverified.”

Therefore, the developers of unverified apps are unknown and can easily access or sell user data that is not protected.

The best way to protect yourself after jailbreaking a firestick is by using a Virtual Private Network (VPN) on your device.

A VPN will encrypt your connection to the Internet so it is impossible for your ISP to monitor what you want to access online.

It’s important to understand that some internet service providers (ISPs) block unverified IPTV services and the only way to access them is by using a VPN.

Follow the steps below for installing the best VPN on your jailbroken Firestick or Fire TV device.

1. Register for an IPVanish VPN account – CLICK HERE FOR DISCOUNT

2. Hover over Find in the main menu and then click Search.

3. Type in “Ipvanish” within the search box and click the first option.

4. Click the IPVanish VPN app.

5. Click Download or Get.

6. Click Open after IPVanish VPN finishes installing.

7. Give IPVanish VPN a few seconds to launch.

8. Enter your IPVanish account information and click Log In.

9. Click Connect.

10. Click OK.

11. You have successfully installed IPVanish VPN on your Firestick/Fire TV.

You are now protected after jailbreaking a firestick!

Is Jailbreaking a Firestick Legal?

Yes, jailbreaking a firestick is 100% legal. This is a question IPTV Wire receives quite often.

While jailbreaking became a popular term for iPhones and Apple devices, the process for an Amazon Firestick/Fire TV is different.

By enabling Unknown Sources within settings, we are simply allowing for the installation of 3rd party apps not available within the Amazon App Store.

While installing these apps is not illegal in any way, streaming some of the content within these is.

That is why it is important to only use 3rd party applications for public domain movies along with legal IPTV providers.

For more information on the legality of streaming live TV, see Is IPTV Legal?

Overall, that is how you jailbreak a firestick in 30 seconds or less!
