One thing I like to watch more than anything is British television. While this is easy to do in the UK, it is not always that way in the US. When traveling it is also nice to be able to watch the shows playing on TV at home. This is not always easy either. Though you can pay for the service or product with the company that owns it, you cannot lift the general geological restrictions in place for any region or zone. While the government can deter abuse that way, they cannot provision a way to get services for which you have paid. That is why there is VPN, and that is why there is now an IPVanish app. [Read: How to install IPVanish OpenVPN on Linux Mint 18]

IPVanish app on Amazon Fire TV
To setup the IPVanish app on your Amazon Fire TV box or stick, all you need to do is login to your account on Amazon and purchase the IPVanish app for free. Though it is an official purchase that goes through as an order, it is for $0 and cents. The app is free to download and install, but you must go onto Amazon's website and login and click on the Get App button. The service itself, of course, is not free, but you can easily purchase a plan on their website. You can search for the app by switching your category view in the search field to Apps and Games.

Installing IPVanish from the Amazon website
You can find the app by its name IPVanish and send it to the Amazon devices registered to your account. If you have several devices they will display in the dropdown menu. More than one of the same device will display as the 2nd, 3rd, or 4th, etc. If you are not sure which device it is, you can simply choose to send the app to the cloud and download it from the cloud on the device. There is a link that tells you how to install manually as well, which throws up a dialogue if you click on it. Installing Ipvanish On Amazon Fire Tv
Incompatible apps and compatible apps
Note, if you see an X next to a device on the app page, the app is incompatible with the device. In that case, you cannot send the app to your device and must install it manually yourself. If it is marked as incompatible, that does not necessarily mean it is. That means Amazon has not marked it as compatible. Be advised that installing apps marked as incompatible is experimental and unstable sometimes as well. I recommend that you research the process if you do install incompatible apps.
Using Downloader
Coincidentally, the OpenVPN Connect app and OpenVPN for Android are marked as incompatible by Amazon. Although they work fine on an Amazon Fire TV setup, apps marked incompatible by Amazon can only be installed using other means such as Downloader.

The IPVanish app, however, will push to your device or cloud. In the event, your app does not push to your device or is delayed, you can always sync your apps from the device itself. Syncing Amazon Apps To Fire Tv
