In the case you don’t see these options, make sure your Fire TV Stick or Fire TV has the latest update. This is possible in Settings > Device or My Fire TV > About > Check for system Update.
For the ultimate security, we recommended a VPN to prevent your Internet Service provider entirely from monitoring your online activity.
Let us know in the comments what VPN you use. We highly recommend IPVanish.
