Set up a VPN on a Fire TV Stick

WireGuard on a Fire TV Stick

1. 1

   Step 1: Allow apps from outside the Appstore

   Open Settings, then My Fire TV, then Developer Options, and turn on Apps from Unknown Sources. If you do not see Developer Options, open Settings, My Fire TV, About and click the entry with your Fire TV name seven times. The exact menu name differs by software version.

2. 2

   Step 2: Get a download app

   Install a download app from the Amazon Appstore, such as Downloader, so the Fire TV can save a file from a web address.

3. 3

   Step 3: Install WireGuard

   Open wireguard.com/install in the download app, choose Download APK File under Android, then open the file and install it.

4. 4

   Step 4: Download your tunnel file

   In the browser on the Fire TV, sign in to your account, open Subscriptions and your VPN subscription. Pick a device number and press Download .conf.

5. 5

   Step 5: Import it and switch it on

   In WireGuard, add a tunnel from a file and pick the .conf file. The exact menu name differs by app version. Switch the tunnel on and allow the VPN connection when the Fire TV asks.

The other way: inside IPTV Smarters Pro

If you watch in IPTV Smarters Pro, you can skip WireGuard and import your .ovpn file into the app instead. The VPN then covers that app.

Good to know

• Each Fire TV needs its own WireGuard device number. Do not reuse one number on two devices.
• Your plan covers up to 3 devices at the same time.
• Turn the WireGuard tunnel on before you open your IPTV app.
