The new Amazon Fire TV Stick is finding its way into countless shopping baskets this Black Friday. However, buyers should beware that the new operating system, Vega OS, has made waves in the cybersecurity community because it is not natively compatible with most VPN apps – but NordVPN is an exception and it's on sale right now too.

The Fire Stick's VPN incompatibility can present a significant hurdle. Users who rely on a VPN to tune into content from back home while traveling, or those who simply want to keep their viewing habits private, may find themselves without protection or access on the new devices.

Why do we recommend NordVPN for Fire Stick?

While NordVPN currently sits at #2 in our specific Fire TV Stick VPN rankings, the current Black Friday deal, combined with its unique compatibility with the new Vega OS devices, makes it the smartest choice for anyone buying the latest Amazon hardware right now.

When it comes to streaming, speed is the most critical metric. In our most recent tests, NordVPN’s proprietary NordLynx protocol delivered top-end peak speeds of 1256Mbps – more than enough for handling 4K UHD streaming without buffering, even in households where multiple users are connected to the internet simultaneously.

Server network scale is another good measure for a Fire Stick VPN. NordVPN has servers in more than 118 different countries around the world. That means you'll have a nearby server for maximum download speeds in most places. It's also particularly useful for anyone who want to stay up to date with local sports or TV shows while traveling abroad.

We do rate Surfshark as the best Fire Stick VPN but, even though there is a good Surfshark Black Friday deal, it doesn't have an app that's compatible with Vega OS right now.

For that reason, NordVPN's Black Friday offer is going to be the one to choose for new Fire Stick owners in 2025. Take a look at everything we think about NordVPN in our review.
