how's it going guys welcome back and some of you guys have been asking whether or not nordvpn works
with amazon firestick so we're going to be talking about that today before we begin if you guys are
interested in north vpn you'll find links to special deals and discounts in the description
down below as well as a full review if you'd like to learn more about the vpn okay so as you may
know the amazon fire stick will turn your tv into a smart tv if you have a regular tv but with many
of the apps available through the amazon fire stick there are geographical restrictions on
what content you can access unfortunately for example if you're outside the united states
you won't be able to access hulu and quite a lot of content from other streaming services
such as hbo netflix disney plus and other services for example that are only available in the uk such
as bbc iplayer therefore no matter where you are in the world you're likely to be missing out on
some content due to geoblocking however you can easily get around these blocks by using a vpn
now a vpn service should never be used to bypass copyright regulations i don't promote condone or
endorse the use of the service for such purposes so of course amazon fire tv being a device you can
actually download applications onto it so here you know you can take a look i'm gonna go ahead and
look up nord just to show you guys that it is uh definitely compatible there's a native application
of nordvpn and you can go ahead and download it onto your device and once you download it
onto your device you'll be able to well just access whatever server you're looking for so
let's say you're trying to unblock hbo max all you have to do is look for the united states server
click it access it and you'll be able to get access to hbo max it really is as simple as
that so again on your amazon fire stick go to your search icon on the home screen of your fire
stick and type in nordvpn to find the application similar to what i did here on the store install a
vpn on your fire stick and connect to a server in your target country and that's pretty much
it now nordvpn's not the only service that has a native application for uh amazon firestick
of course you'll be able to get access to express let me just show you guys just to prove it express
vpn put vpn uh there it is and of course surf shark is another great option by the way there we
go so of course let me just bring them over move this right here here's expressvpn and surfshark
so in case nordvpn may not be let's say an option that uh you like for whatever reason maybe it's
not your cup of tea maybe the pricing is a little bit off so you want something cheaper like surf
shark or maybe you think it doesn't unblock enough services so you can just go with express vpn the
premium service of course that also comes with a premium price another thing that's a little bit
unfortunate with a nordvpn is that it's no longer able to unblock the united states library netflix
libraries so if you're looking for something that's much more consistent with netflix you're
going to have to go with either expressvpn or surf shark especially if you're looking to unblock
united states netflix so yeah well now starting with expressvpn just to give you guys a little
bit of a brief expressvpn has over 3000 servers in 94 countries which is a huge amount of countries
very wide coverage that'll give you the ability to unblock a whole bunch of streaming services from
some of the most obscure ones all the way to the most popular ones you're able to secure up to five
simultaneous connections per subscription and of course you have the basic security features
such as the kill switch which is called network lock here which will stop your internet traffic
when the vpn disconnects unexpectedly and split tunneling which will let you choose which
applications are routed through the vpn tunnel and which are not hence the name split tunneling
so what you can do is of course for example just route your torrenting client and have everything
the rest of your network intact and untouched by the vpn while only your torrenting client is
affected by the vpn that's something you can do and of course you've got a handful of protocols
you can definitely use automatic and that'll work just fine but you know me personally i prefer to
use the lightweight udp protocol it is the best performing protocol as far as i'm concerned from
my experience at least you can let me know what you think in the description down below if you
have a different kind of experience and using netflix as a reference expressvpn is able to
unblock up to 18 netflix libraries 10 with nord and 15 with surfshark and now with nord we have
over 5200 servers in 60 countries so that's 34 less countries than expressvpn even though we've
got more servers here and that can come in handy by the way sometimes let's say if you're trying
to unblock the uk library uh what you can do is uh list the servers here and if one of them doesn't
work you have plenty of servers to just you know keep trying trial and error uh one of them
is bound to work so you know from my experience when you switch just making a couple of switches
uh usually does the job you know you don't really have to make like you know 20 30 switches between
servers in order to make it work so yeah don't worry there you have plenty of servers to try
it out with but unfortunately for the eu for the united states uh netflix libraries it's just not
able to do it at the moment they are fixing it they're working on it but at the moment it's just
pretty difficult for most vpns to unblock uh us netflix specifically and just netflix in general
has been cracking down very heavily on uh vpn traffic these are the only three vpns honestly
uh that have been uh doing their best to really keep up with the netflix blocks it's been very
difficult though so uh just bear with them if at times you may find that some servers are not
giving you access to some libraries so uh yeah honestly what happens usually with expressvpn
and this happened twice so there was one time i was not able to access the american library
and another time when i wasn't able to access the japanese library with expressvpn
and to kind of compensate my for my inconvenience to compensate me for my convenience what they did
is that each one of those times when uh the server did not work and it didn't give me access to the
desired netflix library they gave me two extra weeks so in the past month they gave me just a
free month to compensate me so it's really cool of expressvpn to do that and that really shows uh
their top quality customer service they really do have some of the best if not the best comes
customer service i've ever experienced so yeah uh just to continue about nordvpn or vpn will allow
you to secure up to six simultaneous devices per subscription unlike expressvpn's five uh
of course you'll get a few extra features such as specialty servers here you'll also get uh
north links protocol which is the best performing protocol which makes also north links the fastest
vpn in the business today uh though just keep in mind it is only about three to five percent
faster than expressvpn even though lightweight udp is not a wireguard protocol so very impressive
speeds with expressvpn despite it being slower slightly slower than nordvpn not only do you
get a conventional kill switch but also an app kill switch which will terminate applications
selected applications when you disconnect the vpn rather than terminating the entire connection with
the conventional kill switch uh you got split tunneling custom dns and obfuscated servers in
case you're in a censorship-heavy country what else are you getting by the way you're getting
uh oh by the way just so that you guys know when you pick nord links dedicated ip and double vpn
will disappear because you can't access them while in nord links while using north links so keep that
in mind just if you guys are wondering why these two specialty servers disappeared now speaking
of double vpn and static ip or dedicated ip you still get that get those with uh surfshark you
also get of course split tunneling the kill switch and add blocker as well as the wire guard protocol
here which is definitely the best performing protocol and you should be using it at all times
you're getting a handful of protocols as well as the shadow sox protocol which will help you
reach banned websites if you in case you're in a censorship heavy country and if you're
of course in a censorship-heavy country that has censorship firewalls such as china turkey the uae
this will help you no borders mode will help you bypass such firewalls of course if you notice with
expressvpn we don't have such options well that's because the proprietary obfuscation of expressvpn
makes it work in every country no matter your location you don't have to toggle anything
on and off and of course that's part of the convenience of having a premium vpn such as
expressvpn you don't really have to configure it to make it work no matter your location so
yeah that's a little bit of justification for the pricing there but besides that you know whatever
you're looking for they're all available in the amazon fire stick store and you'll be able to
unblock streaming services for sure but then again just keep in mind if you're looking to access
us netflix go with either express or surf shark they both work wonders when it comes to unblocking
netflix services especially surfshark considering the pricing and then nordvpn will give you access
to all other streaming services it's just not that reliable with us netflix and a few libraries here
and there but then again this is an inevitable cat and mouse game with netflix and vpn providers so
bear with the vpn providers as they work around the clock with their engineers to give you access
to these streaming services besides that all of their plans by the way all express nord and surf
shark all these vpns do have a 30 day money back guarantee on all their plans as well as
a 24 7 live chat support and all their support is very helpful i've been testing their patients for
a while and they have been very patient very knowledgeable very helpful and as i told you you
know expressvpn even gave me uh two weeks for free on two occasions so that's a month in total uh you
know speaks volumes about expressvpn's high tier customer service here of course you'll also find
reviews in the description down below as well as links to pricing and discounts so feel free to use
these discounts while they last uh you'll be able to save yourself some cash so that'll be it for
this video thank you guys very much for watching i'll see you in the next one have a wonderful day
