In this tutorial, you will learn how to install the Scrubs addon on Kodi 20 Nexus. The images used here have been taken from Kodi on Windows 10. However, the method works on all Kodi-supported devices as its interface is the same on all devices. So, if you are using an Amazon Fire TV Stick, Android TV Box, or Nvidia Shield, you can follow the steps.
What is Scrubs Kodi Addon?
Scrubs is an on-demand Kodi addon that serves thousands of movies and TV shows of your choice. It is a fork of the very popular Exodus addon. Therefore, it bears many similarities with Exodus in appearance and function.
Scrubs features a vast media library, affording you thousands of hours of viewing time. Name a movie or TV show, and you will find it here. Furthermore, the developers make sure that the library is updated regularly. So, if there is a new movie or a recently aired episode, be confident you will soon find it on Scrubs.
Like the other such addons, Scrubs doesn’t host any content. It is simply an aggregator. But it ensures you quality working streams for the requested video. I like this addon and want to make sure you know about it and explore it. So, keep reading!
Attention, Kodi Users!
Kodi Addons and builds offer unlimited streaming content, but could also get you into legal trouble if caught streaming free movies, TV shows, or sports. Currently, your IP is visible to everyone. Kodi users are strongly advised to always connect to a VPN while streaming online. A good Kodi VPN hides your identity, bypasses government surveillance, geo-blocked content, and ISP throttling (which also helps in buffer-free streaming).
I personally use ExpressVPN, which is the fastest and most secure VPN. It is very easy to install on any device including Amazon FireStick. You get 3 months free and save 49% on its annual plans. Also, it comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee. If you are not satisfied, you can always ask for a refund.

Is Scrubs Safe & Legal?
Scrubs belongs to a third-party repository, JewRepo. Hence, there’s no reliable way to verify whether the addon is safe.
At FireStickTricks.com, we also can’t state whether the addon is safe to use due to a lack of tools and expertise. However, I checked the zip file of JewRepo on Virus Total. Gladly, the report didn’t include any errors. Check it out:
On legality, the statistics of scrubs are also unknown. As a third-party addon, it uses external sources and premium services to find streaming links to movies and TV shows. Also, there’s no way to determine whether the links are legal.
At FireStickTricks.com, we advise you to only stream publicly available content and use a reliable VPN service like ExpressVPN with Scrubs.

Before you start streaming with Kodi Addons or Builds, I would like to warn you that everything you stream on Kodi is visible to your ISP and Government. This means, streaming copyrighted content (free movies, TV shows, live TV, and Sports) might get you into legal trouble.
Thankfully, there is a foolproof way to keep all your streaming activities hidden from your ISP and the Government. All you need is a good VPN for Kodi. A VPN will mask your original IP which is and will help you bypass Online Surveillance, ISP throttling, and content geo-restrictions.
I personally use and recommend ExpressVPN, which is the fastest and most secure VPN. It is compatible with all kinds of streaming apps and devices.
NOTE: We do not encourage the violation of copyright laws. But, what if you end up streaming content from an illegitimate source unintentionally? It is not always easy to tell the difference between a legit and illegal source.

Step 3: 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 Kodi.
The following are the steps to install Kodi VPN on your Fire TV devices. If you have other streaming devices, follow Step 1-3 above.
Step 4: Subscribe to ExpressVPN HERE (if not subscribed already).
