Make sure that you use a VPN

Add-ons like Bubbles can bring your Kodi experience to the next level by giving you access to a greater selection of content, including the latest Hollywood movies and live streams. However, since this content is subject to copyright, if your stream it from an unauthorized source, you are likely to face legal issues, particularly in countries like United States, Canada, United Kingdom and Australia. We don’t encourage online privacy, but in the end, the choice is yours and it is up to you to take responsibility for your actions. If you choose to stream content using third-party Kodi add-ons, it is important that you protect your traffic from eavesdroppers. For this purpose, a VPN is the most convenient and effective solution.

With a VPN service, you can encrypt your traffic, which means that your ISP or other parties won’t be able to see what content you are accessing. Your online activities will remain private because encryption scrambles the data, making it impossible to read. In addition, a VPN lets you change your IP address, meaning that it will be very difficult to trace you. The IP address can be used to find your location, your ISP and other details that can be used to find out your identity. However, if you use a VPN, your real IP address is hidden and others will only be able to see the VPN server’s IP address. Since in most cases, this is shared by thousands of users, it is practically impossible to identify you.

A VPN also allows you to bypass restrictions like geo-blocks and censorship so you will be able to access the content that you want, no matter where you are. Simply connect to a VPN server located in a country where the website or service is available. In addition, a VPN helps you to overcome ISP throttling. Since your ISP can’t see what you are doing online, they are unable to slow down streaming traffic (which some of them tend to do), because they can’t identify it. A VPN is a great solution for privacy and online freedom. Just make sure that you opt for a high quality service like ExpressVPN, IPVanish, NordVPN or PIA. They offer fast speeds, top security and don’t monitor your online traffic.
