Most people today are used to juggling multiple electronic devices and never being without an internet connection for more than a couple of minutes. Since our digital lives have become so diverse, it makes little sense to secure only some devices while leaving other devices open to hackers and snooping.

With a single NordVPN account, you can secure up to 6 devices at the same time, and it doesn’t even matter which operating system they use because all major operating systems, including Windows, Linux, macOS, Android, and iOS, are fully supported.

Best of all, you can set up NordVPN directly on your wireless router to enjoy the always-on security and privacy regardless of whether you use 1 device, 6, or 20. That’s right! Each NordVPN-enabled router counts as one device, so you could theoretically share your NordVPN subscription with friends to save money. Just keep in mind that too many simultaneous connections could negatively affect your VPN speed and stability.

Even though its name evokes Nordic countries, NordVPN is based in Panama, a relatively small country that links Central and South America. The fact that NordVPN selected Panama as its base is good news for its users for one very important reason: Panama is one of the most VPN-friendly countries in the world.

For starters, the country doesn’t participate in the Five Eyes or Fourteen Eyes alliances, both of which are intelligence alliances whose members include the United States, the United Kingdom, New Zealand, Canada, Australia, and other countries. The members of these alliances have agreed to share information between one another, and we know—thanks to documents leaked by Edward Snowden—that intentionally spying on one another's citizens and sharing their findings.

Furthermore, Panama also doesn’t have any data retention laws, so NordVPN isn’t obliged to store user activity logs, which the company never does, as it proved by voluntarily undergoing an industry-first audit of its no-logs policy. The audit was performed by one of the largest and most respected auditing firms in the world, and the full audit report is now available to all NordVPN subscribers.

Since its first release in 2014, Amazon Fire TV Stick, better known simply as Firestick, has become a popular choice in the media streaming community, offering impressive capabilities in a dongle form factor that plugs directly into an HDMI port. The one feature the Firestick doesn’t have, however, is a native VPN client that would allow its users to browse the web and stream online content without the possibility of being snooped on.

Fortunately, this problem can be easily fixed with the official NordVPN app for Amazon Fire devices, which is available in the Amazon Appstore. The app is completely free, and it provides access to 5,000+ VPN servers in more than 60 countries. To install it, simply:

• ● Turn on your Firestick.

• ● Search “NordVPN.”

• ● Install it just like you would any other app.

Unless your internet connection is very slow, the installation shouldn’t take more than a couple of seconds because the NordVPN app is very small. After the installation finishes, launch the app by selecting the Open option. Choose Log In and enter your NordVPN username and password to log in to the app. You can now either tell the app to automatically connect you to a recommended server or manually select any server you want.
