Kodi’s popularity continues growing and this open-source and free media player has become the favorite solution for streaming content with high quality. Kodi offers an amazing variety of add-ons that allow you to enjoy not only movies or TV shows, but also sports, news, music, games and more. In order to bypass the geographical restrictions that may prevent you from accessing certain content, you can rely on a VPN service. This technology can help you to mask your IP address and location so that you can appear as if you were in the country in which the content you want to watch is available. A VPN also adds security to your connection and prevents others from seeing what you do online. Your identity is also protected since your real IP address (which could be used to trace you) is not exposed. Some of the best VPNs that you can get are ExpressVPN, NordVPN, IPVanish, PureVPN and Private Internet Access.
