3 BEST VPNs for Firestick in 2025 – Stream Fire TV from anywhere!

VPNs have many uses, but streaming content through them is one of their most popular purposes. At the same time, however, most VPNs struggle with device compatibility when it comes to most Smart TVs. This often includes one of the most popular streaming devices out there – the Amazon Fire TV stick.

So, if you’ve got a Firestick and you’re wondering which VPN to get for it so that you can effortlessly stream content from anywhere in the world, here are our 3 suggestions for the best VPNs for Firestick right now.

Some VPNs are good for privacy, others for torrenting, some are great for gaming, others are meant for security, and then there are those that specialize in streaming. Then again, there are also some VPNs that are either excellent or at least very good for all of these tasks and more. Such VPNs are rarely free, of course. However, there are some VPNs that can offer all of this, plus Firestick compatibility, and do all that at pretty affordable prices. At the same time, all these factors can make it confusing and difficult for people new to the VPN niche to figure out exactly what they need. So, if Firestick is the main (or only) priority, here the main factors you’d want to look for:

1. Firestick compatibility. This one is a no-brainer – if you want a VPN to use with your Fire TV stick, it has to be a VPN that has Firestick compatibility.
2. Geo-unblocking capabilities. The main goal of getting a VPN for your Smart TV is usually to stream geo-restricted content on platforms, such as Disney+, Max, Hulu, Netflix, and others. To do so, you need a VPN that can unblock the geo-restrictions of these platforms.
3. A broad worldwide server network. For a VPN to give you access to geo-restricted content, you need to connect to one of its servers in the country where your chosen content is available. For that to be possible, the VPN has to have servers there. So, VPNs with small and poorly distributed server fleets really aren’t great for streaming, and therefore – not much use for your Fire TV stick. As an extra tip, if there is one of a few things, in particular, you want to unblock with a VPN, it’s best to first see in which countries that content is available and then pick a VPN that does have numerous servers there.
4. Great streaming speeds. VPNs always slow your internet connection at least a little bit. This is because they function by processing all incoming and outgoing traffic in order to encrypt it. Some VPNs are much better and faster at doing this, however, making them great for streaming as they barely slow down your internet by a few percentage points. Others can slow down your connection by up to or over 30%, which is not good for neither streaming nor things like gaming or torrenting.
5. Good privacy tools. When talking about VPNs, people often group privacy and security in one bracket and then put streaming, gaming, and torrenting in another. However, “privacy” isn’t just another word for security and tit is important for your streaming needs too. Platforms like Netflix, Disney+, and others often try very hard to detect the use of VPNs. When they succeed, the usual response is to blacklist the VPN’s server (which doesn’t concern you all that much) and to suspend the user’s streaming platform account (which concerns you quite a bit). To avoid this, you want a VPN with great privacy features that will keep both your identity and the fact that you’re using a VPN safe and private.
6. Numerous device connections per account. When purchasing a VPN subscription, you don’t just purchase it for a single device, such as your Firestick. Instead, a good VPN will usually be usable for several devices per account, allowing you to use it not just on your Fire TV stick, but your desktop, phone, and other devices. Especially for medium-to-large households, you’d want a VPN subscription with at least 10 devices if you are to be able to use it on your TV too.
7. Additional quality-of-life features. This may not sound like a necessity – and, technically, it isn’t – but there are numerous features that fall in the “quality-of-life” bracket that are strongly recommended. This is especially true for any VPN belonging to a “Best of” list. For example, having the Split Tunneling feature is great for allowing to use a VPN for some tasks, such as streaming, while keeping it off for other tasks at the same time. Having a router app is a great boon, especially if the VPN doesn’t have too many simultaneous connections per account, as a single router can cover an entire household. A good UI (user interface) is also never to be underestimated, especially for something like a Smart TV.
8. Affordability. This also isn’t technically a necessity, but if you’re going to get yet another monthly subscription, just so you can stream content on your Firestick TV on top of all the streaming platform subscriptions you’ve already got, you probably don’t want that new one to be overly expensive. Fortunately, there are a few VPNs out there that are not only affordable but also offer everything you’d need for your Firestick streaming needs.

So, with all of the above covered, let’s go over our picks for the Best VPNs for Firestick right now and see what makes them special.

Not at all. Not only are ExpressVPN, Surfshark, and Proton, not the only VPNs compatible with Firestick, but there can easily be better VPNs for your particular needs. For example, NordVPN has a broader server fleet than ExpressVPN, including lots of servers in Southeast Asia. So, if you want something with faster speeds than Surfshark and Proton, but a lower price than ExpressVPN that also unblocks content in many Southeastern countries, NordVPN can be a good choice. Other top suggestions would include IPVanish, CyberGhost, and others. The three VPNs we’ve detailed above are based on overall performance, but there are always exceptions when we get into the details of such things.
