This post explains how to log out of Netflix on FireStick. The outlined methods will work for all Fire TV devices, including FireStick Lite, FireStick 3rd Generation, FireStick HD, FireStick 4K, 4K Max, and Fire TV Cube.
Netflix limits the number of devices you can register or sign in. The limit depends on the subscription plan you bought.
The sign-in limit is capped at 6 devices, and content can be streamed simultaneously on up to 4 devices.
If you use Netflix on FireStick and have already reached the registration limit, you must sign out of one device to accommodate another.
Logging out of Netflix on FireStick or Fire TV looks complicated as the option is not in the main menu.
The logout option is under the ‘Get Help’ section. Here, you can sign out of one device to make room for another.
If you use multiple devices frequently, understanding the device registration and sign-out on Netflix is necessary.
Let’s find out how to log out of Netflix on Firestick.
For FireStick Users
ISPs, hackers, and other third-party entities worldwide may monitor your online activities. For security, privacy, and smooth streaming, it is recommended to use a reliable VPN for FireStick. Your IP address is visible to sites you visit.
I recommend ExpressVPN, a fast and secure VPN in the industry. It is very easy to install on any device, including an 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. ExpressVPN also has a special deal where you can get 4 months free and save 61% on the 2-year plan.

How to Stream on FireStick with a VPN
Your internet provider and many websites/apps can see your IP address and some details about your connection. Using a VPN encrypts your traffic and masks your IP address, which helps protect your online privacy.
I recommend ExpressVPN. It’s a reputable VPN with strong encryption and fast connections, and it’s straightforward to install on Fire TV/FireStick and other devices.
Next, I’ll show you how to set up and use ExpressVPN on your Fire TV/Stick.
Step 1: Subscribe to ExpressVPN HERE. It comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee. Meaning, you can use it for free for the first 30 days, and if you are not satisfied with the performance (which is highly unlikely), you can ask for a full refund.
Step 2: Power ON your Fire TV Stick and go to Find, followed by the Search option.
Step 3: Now type “Expressvpn” (without quotes) in the search bar and select ExpressVPN when it shows up in the search results.
Step 4: Click Download to install the ExpressVPN app on Fire TV / Stick.
Step 5: Open the app and enter the login credentials that you created when you purchased the ExpressVPN subscription. Click Sign in.
Step 6: Click the Power icon to connect to a VPN server. That’s all. Your connection is now secure with the fastest and best VPN for FireStick.
