Hey guys, today we're going to explore

and unblocking global content libraries,

Fire Stick is a game changer.
One of the best things about it
is that it lets you stream Netflix from your TV.
If you live outside the U.S. though,
you're probably wondering how to watch U.S. Netflix
on Fire Stick because you're missing out
on so many awesome movies and shows
that are exclusive to the U.S. Netflix library.
For example, maybe you wanna watch U.S. Netflix in UK,
you can't access this content normally.
The absolute best solution here is to use a VPN.
VPNs allows you to connect to Netflix
via a server in the U.S.,
disguising your traffic to look like
it's coming from that server.
So I'm going to show you how to watch U.S. Netflix
on Fire Stick with a VPN.
You should know though that not all VPNs
can unblock U.S. Netflix on Fire Stick.
Many VPNs fail to get around Netflix firewalls,
and most VPNs don't have a native Fire Stick app.
How do you choose a VPN for Fire Stick?
Assume you have gathered by now,
it's crucial that the VPN has a native Fire Stick app
and that it can reliably unblock Netflix via that app.
Here are some other important factors.

Now these are my three favorite VPNs
for streaming Netflix from Fire Stick.
NordVPN, Surfshark VPN, and ExpressVPN.
If you're gonna get a VPN for Fire Stick,
you should choose one of these,
and I'm gonna show you why.
NordVPN is one of the world's favorite VPNs.
It ticks all the boxes in our criteria list.
Firstly, it has streamlined Fire Stick app
and it unblocks some of the biggest Netflix libraries.
It's one of the world's fastest VPNs.
Plus it has many extra features,
including the handy smart play feature
that lets you stream without any extra steps.
You can use it on a bunch of different devices
with multiple connections.
The 24/7 live chat is genuinely helpful
and it's a really reasonable price.
If you just wanna try out a VPN,
I definitely recommend to give NordVPN a try.
It has a full 30 day free trial,
and I guarantee you're gonna be impressed.
Already convinced, hit this eye button to back it right now
at a massive discount.
Surfshark VPN is probably the least expensive
quality VPN out there.
And it has a Fire Stick app,
which unblocks multiple Netflix libraries.
Speeds are amazing
and you won't have to wait for videos to buffer.
There's a string of extra features
and you can use it on unlimited number of devices
and all the major platforms.
And the 24/7 live chat is wonderfully helpful.
The price is an absolute bargain.
So if you're on a budget, but you still want a quality VPN,
or you want to connect with lots of devices,
I'd say opt for Surfshark VPN.
ExpressVPN has a stellar reputation.
It has a Fire Stick app and it's considered
one of the world's fastest VPNs.
There are tons of extra features,
you can use it on so many platforms
with multiple connections
and the 24/7 live chat is first class.
My only concern with ExpressVPN
is that it really is expensive.
In 2020, it's not necessary to pay so much for a top VPN.
However, if it's top quality you want
and the best of the best, and you're willing to pay for it,
then you will love ExpressVPN.
Now I'm going to show you
how to watch American Netflix on Fire Stick.
This includes how to install an app store
on your Fire Stick,
so if you've never installed apps in your Fire Stick before,
you'll still be able to set up a VPN
after watching this tutorial.
First, enable apps from unknown sources on your Fire Stick
by going to the Settings page,
clicking on device,
then toggling on apps from unknown sources.
Next, you'll need an app called Downloader,
which lets you download files on your Fire Stick.
Search for the program on the Amazon app store.
Download and install it.
We'll use Downloader to find and install Aptoide TV.
This app store is really optimized for Fire Stick.
Type this address into Downloader
and install the Aptoide TV app.
Launch Aptoide TV.
Click on the search icon
and search for whichever VPN you've picked from my list.
Click Install and accept the permissions.
Once installed, launch the VPN and sign in.
The app may ask you if you'd like to share
some anonymous information,
you can either press OK or no, thanks.
For connection requests, click OK to pick the server,
press choose location, then move to all.
Select Americas and hold the button on United States.
Select any U.S. server, press the connect button
if it doesn't connect automatically.
If you have an Amazon Prime account,
make sure your VPN server location and your account location
are set to the same country.
Now you're ready to binge watch
all those awesome U.S. shows you've been thirsting after.
You should know that connecting to Netflix via VPN
doesn't always work immediately.
Here's how to watch U.S. Netflix on the Fire Stick,
when you're getting those infuriating error messages.
If you get a proxy or unblocker error message,
just picking a different server in the U.S.
usually fixes the problem.
Head over to your VPN app and disconnect.
Then pick a different server location in the U.S.
and open Netflix again.
You may need to change locations several times
to get this to work.
If it looks like your library content hasn't changed.
Try searching for content exclusive to U.S. Netflix,
because there's some overlap between the libraries
and it's easy to get confused.
If you're definitely not on Netflix U.S.,
go to Netflix account selection screen,
put your Fire Stick to sleep by pressing the Home button
and wait a couple of minutes.
Start up your Fire Stick again and run a couple of apps.
So just browser or another streaming service.
Then leave these apps and go back to Netflix.
After you've signed in,
you should have access to Netflix U.S.
