Attention, FireStick Users!

I strongly recommend getting the best FireStick VPN to mask your IP address and securely stream your favorites.
I personally use ExpressVPN, the fastest and most secure VPN available. Not only is it easy to install on any device, it comes with a risk-free 30-day money-back guarantee. Plus, if you're not 100% satisfied, you can always get a refund. ExpressVPN is currently also offering a whopping 3 extra months free on their annual plan!

Step 2: SuperBoost FireStick with ExpressVPN
Now that you are all set to superboost your Fire TV Stick, I want to warn you that everything you stream on Kodi or other streaming apps in this guide is visible to your ISP and Government. Therefore, streaming copyrighted content (free movies, TV shows, 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 trustworthy VPN for Fire Stick.
A VPN helps bypass online surveillance, ISP throttling, and content geo-restrictions.
I use and recommend ExpressVPN, which is the fastest and most secure VPN. It is streaming-friendly and straightforward to install on a Fire TV / Stick.
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 distinguish between a legitimate and illegal source.
So, before you start installing superboost apps on your FireStick, let’s see how to use ExpressVPN to keep your streaming activities hidden from prying eyes.
1. Visit the ExpressVPN website and select a suitable subscription plan. Enjoy the special deal with a 49% discount on the yearly plan and 3 extra months. It comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee.

5. Then, click the Download or Get button to initiate the installation process.
6. Once the installation is complete, click Open to launch the app.
7. When you open the app the first time, you’ll be prompted to log in. Click Sign In.
8. Enter your email and password that you created during the subscription process.
9. Click OK.
10. Click OK again.
11. Choose an option and click it. I am clicking No Thanks.

In this section, we’ll explore two essential utility apps for optimizing your FireStick experience:
- Fast Task Killer for swiftly terminating background apps with 1-click
- Internet Speed Test App to ensure a smooth streaming and browsing experience.
Utility App 1: Install Fast Task Killer on FireStick
Apps running in the background slow down your FireStick and affect your streaming experience. Fast Task Killer removes all the background apps with just one click so that you may enjoy streaming without trouble.

2. Open the Downloader app.

Utility App 2: Install Internet Speed Test App
To stream your favorite videos without trouble, you need a steady and fast internet connection. With the Internet Speed Test App, you can check the Wi-Fi speed with one click.
ISPs are known for throttling internet speed, especially when they detect a lot of streaming activities. The Internet Speed Test App lets you quickly find out if the speed has been curtailed.
I also recommend using ExpressVPN to hide your streaming activities and avoid ISP throttling.
Internet Speed Test App is an official app. Here are the steps to install it from the Amazon Store:
1. Select the magnifying glass icon on the menu bar of the FireStick home screen and press the down navigation button on the remote.
2. Click Search.
3. Start typing Internet Speed Test and click it in the search results.
4. Click the Internet Speed Test app tile on the next screen under Apps & Games.
5. Click Download or Get.
6. Wait for the app to download and install.
7. Click Open to launch the app.
8. The Internet Speed Test App will use your device resources even though it is an official app from the Amazon Store. I am choosing to keep ads and not to share my resources. Click Start using the app after selecting the desired option.
To eliminate ads and prevent your resources from being utilized, consider connecting to ExpressVPN.
9. Click Start Test to begin the test.
10. Wait for a minute. Once the test is complete, the app will display the results.
