Black Friday 2025 has come and gone, but the weekend rolls on, and with the holiday season just around the corner, plenty of shoppers are picking up techy presents (for the family or for themselves) like Amazon Fire Sticks, smart TVs, and gaming consoles. If you've recently added a Fire Stick to your setup, you're probably looking forward to streaming your favorite shows and live sports in 4K.

But what happens if you're traveling over the holidays, visiting family or working abroad, and suddenly you can't access your usual streaming apps or local content?

That's where a VPN can help. By spoofing your location, a VPN lets you access geo-restricted services as if you were still at home. Even better, most of the best VPNs are offering big Black Friday VPN discounts, making it a great time to bag a bargain. And while VPNs might sound technical, getting one up and running on your Fire Stick is surprisingly easy. We'll show you how.

Surfshark One: $2.69 $2.19/month + 3 monthsSurfshark's Black Friday deal is a steal – even though the big day is over for another year! It's also our #1 VPN for Fire TV Sticks. For $59.13, a One plan comes with:

✅ Access to popular streaming platforms (including Netflix, Disney+, BBC iPlayer, and more)

✅ Global server coverage (100+ countries)

✅ A full, built-in antivirus

❌ Some issues unblocking Prime Video and US YouTube

How to set up a VPN on Amazon Fire Stick

There are plenty of good reasons to use a VPN with your Fire TV Stick. Firstly, a VPN improves your overall digital privacy, encrypting your traffic to make it much harder for nosy third-parties to snoop on you.

Secondly, thanks to VPN geo-spoofing power, they allow you to bypass geo-restrictions when travelling, so you can stream the same content that you'd enjoy back home.

Here's how to get started with your Fire Stick VPN:

1. Create a VPN account. Start by picking a VPN provider and signing up for an account via its home page. We recommend Surfshark for Fire Stick: it's fast, has a wide server network, and is especially affordable thanks to a generous Black Friday deal.
2. Download the app on Fire Stick. Turn on your Fire Stick and open the Amazon Appstore. Search for your chosen VPN (e.g. "Surfshark") and download the app.
3. Log in to the app. Open the app once installation is complete. Enter your login credentials when prompted.
4. Connect to a VPN server. Next, you'll need to choose and connect to one of the VPNs servers – and most VPNs have options all over the world. To access your usual shows while abroad, pick a server in your home country. Surfshark also offers a "Fastest server" option for general use.
5. Start streaming. You're ready to go. Your data is now protected, and you can enjoy location-specific content no matter where you are. Let the binging begin!

Want more streaming options?

While not every VPN on the market is a viable option for streaming (especially free VPNs, seeing as they come with a whole heap of limitations), our top picks are compatible with today's most popular content platforms. Think Netflix, BBC iPlayer, Disney+, Hulu, and more.

Head on over to our guide to the best streaming VPNs for the full rundown, and check out the VPNs that'll ensure that your festive season isn't spoiled by pesky geo-restrictions.
