In this guide, you will find the step-by-step instructions to install Taz19 Kodi Addon.
The steps here work on FireStick, Android TV, Mobiles, PC, Mac, Raspberry Pi, and other devices compatible with Kodi.
What is Taz19?
Taz19 is a Kodi addon for on-demand films and TV shows. You can download this addon from a third-party or unofficial repository, Octopus. This repository also hosts the Alvin Kodi Addon.
The Taz19 addon features a comprehensive lineup of videos. In addition, it offers dozens of streaming links.
In addition to movies and episodes, you can watch documentaries, kids’ content, and more. Furthermore, The addon supports Trakt and Real Debrid.
The Taz19 Kodi addon is easy to use. For these reasons and more, it is included on our list of featured addons for Kodi.
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 Taz19 Kodi Addon Safe & Legal?
At FireStickTricks.com, we cannot vouch for the safety of the addon because it is a third-party addon and comes from an unofficial repository.
However, this addon is installed on my FireStick and computer. It has not caused any trouble so far. It has not downloaded any malicious or suspicious software on my devices.
But, I wanted to be more sure. Therefore, I ran the Taz19 repository zip file through a web-based antivirus. The antivirus said, “No security vendors and no sandboxes flagged this file as malicious.” Therefore, I will assume that Taz19 is safe.
Here is the screenshot:
We cannot comment on the legality of the Taz19 addon. We could not verify whether it has acquired the suitable licenses to distribute the copyrighted content.
I recommend using a reliable VPN for Kodi to avoid legal issues, such as ExpressVPN.

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.
So, before you start streaming on Kodi, here's how to get VPN protection in 3 simple steps.
Step 1: Get the ExpressVPN subscription HERE. It comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee. Meaning, you can use it 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: Click HERE to download and install the ExpressVPN app on your streaming device. If you are using a FireStick, I have given the exact steps starting with Step 4 below.
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).
Step 5: Go to Fire TV Stick home screen. Click Find followed by Search option (see image below).
Step 6: Type Expressvpn in the search bar and select when it shows up.
Step 7: Click Download.
Step 8: Open the ExpressVPN app and Sign in using the email ID and password that you created while buying the ExpressVPN subscription.
