How to Use NordVPN on Firestick

Are you looking for a way to use NordVPN on your Apple TV 4K or Firestick? If so, great news! We’ve got you covered. In this article, you’re going to learn the step-by-step process of setting up and using NordVPN to protect your privacy and security on the go. So sit back, relax, and get ready to pierce the veil of darkness that is your smartphone’s internet connection.

Step One: Get Your NordVPN Account And Download The App

First things first, you’re going to need to have an account with NordVPN. You can register for an account here or click on the button below to go directly to their website. Once you have an account, you’ll see a button that looks like this:

Click on that button and you’ll be taken to their app store. Once there, you can search for NordVPN and download their app to your phone or tablet. Don’t worry, the link below also has a step-by-step tutorial on how to install the app, so you can get started even if you’re tech-incompetent (like myself.)

Step Two: Install The NordVPN App On Your Mobile Device

Once you have the app installed on your mobile device, you can move on to the next step. Open the app and click on the gear icon in the upper right-hand corner. You’ll then see a menu with four options: VPN settings, VPN location, Changelog, and Help.

If you click on VPN settings, you’ll be brought to a page that will allow you to change your VPN settings. Under the VPN tab, you can choose which protocol to use (OpenVPN or L2TP/IPSec), enter a DNS server address, and change the password.

Step Three: Configure VPN On Your Apple TV Or Firestick

To use NordVPN on your Apple TV 4K or Firestick, you’ll need to first install their app on one of these devices. Once that’s done, you can follow these steps to connect to the VPN and gain access to the internet through a safer, more private connection.

On your Apple TV, open the Settings app and click on Network. You’ll then see a list of your available WiFis. Tap on the network name associated with your VPN connection and you’ll be brought to a page that will allow you to configure the connection. In the General section, you can change the name of the network to something more suitable and enter a password. You’ll then need to restart your Apple TV for the changes to take effect.

On your Firestick, open the Settings app and click on the WiFi icon in the upper right-hand corner. You’ll see a list of your available networks and devices. Tap on the network name associated with your VPN connection and you’ll be brought to a page that will allow you to configure the connection. In the General section, you can change the name of the network to something more suitable and enter a password. You’ll then need to restart your Firestick for the changes to take effect.

Step Four: Use The NordVPN App To Access The Web And Secure Accounts

After you’ve configured your Apple TV or Firestick to connect using NordVPN, you can access the web and secure accounts (like PayPal) through a safer and more private connection. To do this, you can either open a new browser window on your mobile device and type in the IP address of your Apple TV or Firestick (it’ll probably be something like 192.168.1.XXX) or you can use the app to browse the web directly from your mobile device. From the app menu, click on Safari and you’ll see a list of your open browsers. Click on the one you want to use to browse the web and a green button will appear next to the browser’s name. Click on that button and you’ll be taken to the site you want to visit.

If you click on a link in a secure online account that takes you to a site that you’ve never been to before, your browser will ask you if you want to trust the site. Most likely, you’ll say no to this question and your browser will block the site. But by using the VPN, you’re not showing your browser the location of the site, and your browser does not have to trust that the site is legitimate. So while you may still have to enter your login details, at least you won’t have to worry about your personal information being stolen.
