Streaming safely

It is important to remember that Kodi is simply a media player. What media you run on this platform is your own choice. Kodi officials don’t take any responsibility if someone violates copyright laws. The truth is, Kodi is an open-source platform; third-party developers keep coming with their add-ons for this media player. It is your responsibility to protect your internet connection, data, identity, and device. Luckily, you don’t have to worry too much about anything if you have a reliable VPN set up. A Virtual Private Network (VPN) Service rids you from all vulnerabilities mentioned above.

But which VPN service you need to use? Some developers are offering a free VPN service. But don’t ever select such free services because they are not safe; their encryption tools are not updated, and they have data limits which means that such services don’t work after consuming a certain amount of data, for instance, 1GB or even less.
