Why use NordVPN with your Firestick?
Whether you intend to watch Netflix or access free Kodi content, we suggest using NordVPN for several important reasons:
- Bypass geo-restrictions: Some countries issue restrictions with online media content. NordVPN can help you cross geo-blocks and help you open various media files.
- Watch unavailable content: Netflix only displays 30% of what is available in the USA. If you use NordVPN, you can spoof their servers by connecting to a USA server. As a result, you can stream more videos from Netflix and other streaming services.
- Prevent ISP Throttling: Your Internet Service Provider (ISP) can limit your bandwidth. They will block your IP address, stopping you from watching online HD videos.
- Military-Grade Encryption: NordVPN implements a robust encryption method to secure our entire internet traffic. Hackers and various online threats cannot bypass NordVPN’s encryptions.
- Provide safety and security: Many malicious third parties, viruses, and malware are on the web. NordVPN can protect you from these cyber threats by concealing your device and data.
- Make you Anonymous: Hackers employ methods to steal your data. They are now prevalent on the internet. NordVPN will encrypt your entire internet traffic and give you a proxy IP address.

Encryption and Protocols
- Military-Grade Encryption (AES-256) – NordVPN shares with us a robust level of encryption that will conceal your online identity. It is suitable for performing online transactions or communicating with your peers. Military-grade AES-256 encryption follows FIPS (Federal Information Processing Standards) that oversee the handling of sensitive data.
- NordLynx – Originally from NordVPN, it shares a double NAT (Network Address Translation) system that enables faster connections. NordLynx is a next-generation VPN feature that uses the WireGuard® protocol. The primary purpose of NordLynx is to help your NordVPN app quickly connect with its servers without compromising your safety and security.
- OpenVPN – The OpenVPN protocol is an industry-standard protocol for open source code encryption.
- IPSec/IKev2 – NordVPN always uses two types of state-of-the-art cryptographic algorithms and keys: IPSec/IKev2. IKEV2 stands for Internet Key Exchange while IPSec means Internet Protocol security.

Strict No-Logs Policy
Not only is NordVPN capable of security, but it also offers a lot of additional features on top of its Strict No-logs policy. Users can try NordVPN with its 7-day free trial!
NordVPN has a feature called Cybersec, which acts as its adblocker feature. Cybersec can also effectively protect you from malicious sites and malware.
Tor Browser Compatibility
You can also increase the already impressive security offer by using VPN over Onion or Double VPN. Double VPN allows you to rout your connection through 2 of Nord’s VPN servers making your connection double secure and almost untraceable. Applying a VPN over an Onion router will connect you with a TOR router, making your connection slow and untraceable.
