Streaming video via Kodi or any other medium requires a lot of bandwidth. VPNs can also allow access to content which is usually restricted to certain geographic locations. In addition, even if you stream from legitimate online sources, some ISPs will throttle your connection if they think that you’re sucking up bandwidth. This type of attack allows a hacker to intercept your data, making you susceptible to having your data stolen and manipulated. VPNs can help to prevent some man-in-the-middle attacks.

Although it’s possible to use a VPN to hide the streaming of pirated content from an Internet Service Provider (ISP), the positive uses shouldn’t be ignored.

A trustworthy VPN will offer privacy and security benefits. We recommend using a Virtual Private Network (VPN) when streaming with Kodi. Kodi is available on a number of platforms such as Windows PCs, Mac computers, Amazon Fire TVs and Fire sticks, the award winning Nvidia shield, Android devices and iPhones. Content can be played from local storage, external storage, and/or from online sources. Kodi allows for the playback of both audio and video content from different sources.

Kodi is a multi-featured, open source media player.
