Firestick, hands-down, is one of the best streaming devices right now. When plugged into your TV’s HDMI port, it’ll completely transform it into the best media and video player. You can download just about any content and streaming apps that you’ll find available on the Amazon Store.
Even if you’re not able to access a few services or require free content that premium streaming apps don’t offer, you’ll be able to jailbreak your Firestick device, by Sideloading third-party apps from unknown sources.
But what if you’re only interested in streaming on popular apps like Netflix, Disney Plus, or Amazon Prime, and require a subscription for them? Chances are, that because these services are constrained to geo-restrictions, you’re only going to be able to access them from the US, UK, and a few of the other territories.
So, how do you Access Geo-Restricted Streaming Services on Firestick?
There are quite a few ways to access certain services, but platforms like Netflix or BBC iPlayer are super tough to gain access to. You’re going to need a software that’s powerful, one that works and at the same time secures your connection. Such a tool is a Virtual Private Network (VPN, for short). It’ll allow you to access numerous streaming services on your Firestick, from anywhere in the world.
