How to Download, Install and Use ExpressVPN on Fire Tablets

You already know that Amazon's Fire tablets have access to a vast number of apps via Amazon's App Store. However, did you know that ExpressVPN is one of those apps as well? Well, let's show you how to set up and use ExpressVPN on your Amazon Fire tablet.

Note

The ExpressVPN app requires your Fire tablet to run FireOS 5 or newer (the latest available FireOS version is v7, and we expect v8 to appear soon as well). To check the FireOS version of your Fire tablet, navigate to Settings > Device Options > System Updates.

Important

ExpressVPN is currently in the process of updating its interface across all of its supported devices, and that includes FireOS as well. If you see a bit different interface than what's shown in the photos below, there's nothing to be concerned about. The following instructions will still be valid.

1. First, go ahead and get your ExpressVPN subscription.

2. Use the link above, and then click on 'Get ExpressVPN' using the newly opened page.

3. Pick a subscription, fill out any required information, and proceed to pay.

4. Once done, ExpressVPN will send you a confirmation mail, so check your inbox.

5. Then, turn to your Fire tablet for the rest of this procedure.

6. Launch the App Store and then activate its search function.

7. Type in 'ExpressVPN,' and you should see the app offered among the search results.

8. Tap on 'Download' to download and install the app automatically.

Tip

If you have an Amazon Prime account and wish to stream content available in a different country, know that your VPN server location must match the country of your Amazon profile. At any moment, you can change your Amazon profile’s country setting by going to Your Account > Your Content and Devices > Preferences > Country/Region.

15. To connect to the nearest server available, tap on the ON/OFF button.
