I use IPVanish for Kodi. I had set it up on my router and it does cause issues with DTVN. You lose the locals. I had installed it on my router but have since removed it and only run it on my phone and fireTVs when streaming Kodi.

I work from home and already use a VPN daily so I was having issues with my work network and DTVN. That's why I just use the android app when I need it.
Thanks. That's answers a couple of my questions. So you sideloaded the app onto your fire device and turn it on when using kodi.. does it stay on until you de activate?

For iOS use, I would just download app and login?

IPVanish seems to be the one most compatible with fire tv from what I've read.

Here's a link that will take 25% off the price of IPV if anyone else is shopping around. LINK

Not sure on iOS since I don't own or use any apple products. Yes I sideloaded the app and it has settings that you can have it enable the VPN as soon as you start the device or when you launch the app. I have it set to automatically connect to the fastest US server when I launch the app.

This is how it works for Private Internet Access

Awesome. Would this also allow me to watch blacked out LSU games?


Yes, but doesn't work on iOS for MLB.tv blackouts because it uses GPS to get your location. WatchESPN uses the IP location.
