The Amazon Firestick, originally Fire TV Stick, is a great solution to watch tones of movies, TV shows, and other interesting content. But the problem is that much of this video content is geo-restricted. So you can only access it from USA and some others countries.
But there is a great solution for this problem and this is VPN - virtual private network. It helps to change your IP address and so avoid geo blocking.
Amazon Fire TVs and Fire TV Sticks work on Android operating system. And you can easily setup VPN on Android device. Please note that the first generation Fire TV Stick doesn't support VPN apps at all.
