Amazon Fire Stick has changed TV viewing by leaps and bounds ever since its inception. While it has dealt a huge blow to traditional television, but still it suffers from one major flaw. The Amazon Fire Stick offers ample multimedia content with Amazon Prime Video, Hotstar, Netflix, etc. but needless to say, all of this isn’t free or even available globally. Thus many users burn huge holes in their pockets to enjoy their Fire Stick to the fullest.
However, there is a way by which you can unlock the sea of amazing content absolutely free of cost. This would need you to jailbreak FireStick and before you panic, let us assure you that Jailbroken Fire Stick is not illegal. The Amazon Fire TV Stick is your private property and you’re free to do whatever you wish with it. However, if you stream pirated content on it, it would be illegal and hence your problem buddy!!!

Steps to Jailbreak FireStick
Although Amazon Fire Stick jailbreak process isn’t exactly a cakewalk, it’s not some rocket science either.

Governments and ISPs across the world monitor their users' online activities. If found streaming copyrighted content on your Fire TV Stick, you could get into a serious trouble.

I use IPvanish which is the fastest and most secure VPN in the industry. It is very easy to install on any device including Amazon Fire TV Stick. Also, it comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee. If you don't like their service, you can always ask for a refund. IPvanish also has a special deal where you can get 3 months free and save 49% on annual plan.
