Frequently asked

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes — NordVPN, Proton VPN, FastestVPN, and others have native Fire TV apps available directly from the Amazon Appstore. Installation takes 2 minutes.

With WireGuard protocol, speed loss is minimal (5-15%). 4K streaming requires ~25 Mbps — a VPN on a 50+ Mbps connection handles this easily. If buffering occurs, try a closer server.

Chromecast and Apple TV can't install VPN apps directly. Options: (1) VPN on your router (protects everything), (2) Smart DNS (faster but no encryption), (3) Share your phone/laptop VPN via hotspot.

Roku doesn't support VPN apps. Your only options are router-level VPN or Smart DNS. FastestVPN's MediaStreamer (Smart DNS) is the easiest Roku solution.
