ok I had no idea how to do this and couldn’t find any tutorials on how to do so either… so I kind of pieced it together out various info I found… I’m not giving out links etc. a quick Google search should give you more info. I’m writing this out of memory but it should help anyone attempting to do the same. It took me a lot of trial and error before I achieved success…
In addition to my Windows desktop I used an android phone. You’ll also need a NordVPN account which is what I used, or some other OpenVPN compatible account that gives you configuration files like Nord does.
Install the ES Explorer app on your Fire Stick by doing a search for it on your Amazon screen…
Then on your android phone find and install the “Open VPN for Android’ app at Google Play, then do the same and find an app called “Apps2fire”, open Apps2fire, it will ask you for the IP address of your firestick etc, then once you’re connected you can easily send the OpenVPN for Android” app to your firestick…
Then you can go to your Fire stick Settings ->Apps -->Managed Installed Applications I think it is and you should be able to see that you now have the Open VPN app on your fire stick…
Then I went to ES Explorer, scrolled down the side tab to Network -->LAN… found my desktop, entered my login info, found the configuration files I had downloaded and unzipped in the user area of Nord VPN, clicked on the first one in ES explorer, it will ask you how you want to open it, choose the bottom option Other I think it is, then scroll down and click Open VPN Configuration file… then it will load it as a configuration file.
Then select the NORDaccount that it creates, enter your username and password for NordVPN and you should be connected. I adjusted my settings on the app to connect automatically when it boots up and to always stay connected…
Then you have a private secure tunnel from your fire TV, all your ISP sees is your encrypted secure connection to NordVPN… Also all the sites you’re downloading from see is your connection to NordVPN.
If you haven’t signed up for NordVPN and are going to, please use my referral link which will help me get some free credits there…
