Are you sick of the Fire TV Stick and want to know how you can jailbreak the Fire TV Stick in the UK? It’s good that you didn’t try other platforms so. They are far more limited than the Fire TV Stick. With that said, we’ll show you how you can jailbreak the Fire TV Stick in the UK so that you can use it the Fire TV Stick to its full potential!
And it’s really simple.
That, as it is, will allow you to install apps from unknown sources. We will now go through what kind of apps you can install, how to install Kodi, and how to fully jailbreak the Fire TV Stick in the UK, as being able to download all apps doesn’t give you full freedom yet.
You first need to search for an app called Downloader on your Fire TV Stick. Downloader is an app that lets you download on your Fire TV Stick. It’s how you download apps on the Fire TV Stick that don’t come from the Amazon Appstore.
After you do that, search for the app you want to download with an ending of “.APK” as that’s the Android format for apps. The Fire TV Stick operates on a modified version of Android hence it runs Android apps.
Be careful though. Not every source for downloading apps is reliable. Not every app is designed to work with the Fire TV Stick either.
Most would see Kodi as an app that truly lets you jailbreak the Fire TV Stick in the UK due to the freedom it gives. That’s why most people are also going to be looking for how to get Kodi when jailbreaking the Fire TV Stick in the UK.
This is how you do it:
That’s how you can get the best version of Kodi, and since it’s directly from the Kodi site, you also know that it’s safe to download.
It’s one thing to be able to download any apps on the Fire TV Stick, but a lot of apps are actually blocked in the UK. DAZN doesn’t work in the UK as it is. UK Netflix doesn’t offer as much as American Netflix and it’s the same with Amazon Prime. Oh, and forget about using Hulu in the UK.
The biggest problem as far as access regardless of your region is your region. If you want to fully jailbreak the Fire TV Stick in the UK, you need to be able to trick whatever app you are using into thinking that you are in the best possible region for that app.
And that’s where a VPN comes in.
VPN services not only protect you as far as privacy on the internet keeping you safe no matter what you do but they also allow you to change your location without moving an inch.
If you use a VPN, you will be able to unblock any service out there.
Of course, there are some limits to that.
For one, not every VPN service is equal, and not all have apps on the Fire TV Stick in the first place. For two, not every service offers the same amount of server locations. Some can have 3 locations, some can have hundreds, and in this instance, PrivateVPN has 60. You do want to have a nice variety of server locations as only having American servers will limit you to unblocking only American content. But you also want the servers that you use to work with the services that you want to use.
The likes of DAZN make efforts to prevent VPN services from working, meaning only a few support it, with PrivateVPN being part of that group. See, you don’t need to use PrivateVPN, but there’s not much choice out there as far as the Fire TV Stick, and PrivateVPN just happens to work with Hulu, Amazon Prime, DAZN, and many more which you can read about on our blog. That’s because we invest in quality over quantity. That’s exactly why we also support the most Netflix regions on the market.
If you’d like to try us out, you will need to register on our site, but it takes less than 60 seconds, and it will allow you to fully jailbreak the Fire TV Stick in the UK. If you’d like to know about a specific service working with PrivateVPN, make sure to reach out to our customer support, and in the meantime, feel free to check our blog for more tips and uses of a VPN. Oh, and we support 6 devices at once from one account whether that’s your iPhone, Android or desktop device!
