For IPTV Users!

ISPs, hackers, and other third-party entities worldwide may monitor your online activities. For security, privacy, and smooth streaming, it is recommended to use a reliable VPN. Your IP address is visible to sites you visit.  

I recommend ExpressVPN, a fast and secure VPN in the industry. It is very easy to install on any device, including Amazon Fire TV Stick, PC, Mac, and Smartphones. Also, it comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee. If you’re not satisfied with their service, you can always ask for a refund. ExpressVPN also has a special deal where you can get 4 months free and save 73% on the 2-year plan.

Is SO Player Safe & Legal?

The absence of SO Player from the Amazon App Store does raise legitimate concerns about safety. As it is a third-party application, its security cannot be independently verified by FireStickTricks.com.

Before installing any unverified app, we conduct a VirusTotal scan. After scanning the SO Player APK on VirusTotal, we found nothing malicious. Here’s the proof:

SO Player doesn’t host any content. It’s an IPTV player rather than a service, so it is 100% legal. However, you must stay cautious when using SO Player with an unverified IPTV service.

At FireStickTricks.com, we strongly oppose piracy in all forms. We advise our readers to only subscribe to legal IPTV services.

How to Install SO Player on FireStick

SO Player isn’t available on the Amazon App Store. But you can easily sideload it using Downloader. I have divided this section into two subsections to make it easier for you to follow the step-by-step instructions.

Legal Disclaimer: This tutorial is purely educational. FireStickTricks.com doesn’t own, host, operate, resell, or distribute any streaming apps, addons, websites, IPTV or services. The page contains some unverified services, and we are not certain whether they hold legal licenses to distribute the content. FireStickTricks.com does not verify the legality of each app/service in all regions. Do your due diligence if you use any of the unverified apps/services, and stream only content that is available in the public domain. The end-user shall be solely responsible for the media accessed.

Part 1: Prepare FireStick for Sideloading

The quick steps are as follows:

1. Go to FireStick home, select Find, and click the Search menu. Type Downloader and click on the Downloader suggestion from the list below.

Next, locate the app with the orange logo and click on it. Then click Get or Download to install the Downloader on FireStick.

Or read our detailed guide on how to go about it.

2. Press the Home button to return to FireStick home. Scroll right to the Settings gear and click on it. Open the My Fire TV menu. Next, explore Developer Options.

You will see one of the following two options depending on your FireStick device version:

• Option 1— Install Unknown Apps: Click it and enable Downloader on the next screen.
• Option 2—Apps from Unknown Sources: Click this option and then click Turn On at the following prompt.

Note: If you do not see Developer Options, go to Settings > My Fire TV > About.Now, select Fire TV Stick and click it 7 times to enable Developer Options. If you’re still not sure how to do it, here’s a step-by-step guide to enable developer options.

That’s it. Your FireStick is ready to install third-party apps from the web.

Part 2: Install SO Player on FireStick

Let’s install SO Player on FireStick:

1. Launch Downloader from the Your Apps & Channels screen.

2. Go to the Browser section and select the URL box.

3. Enter firesticktricks.com/so and click Go.

Note: FireStickTricks.com is not affiliated with the SO Player app developers. This download URL points to an external source. 

4. Wait for the SO Player APK download process to complete.

5. Click Install when SO Player APK stages for installation.

6. Select Done when the SO Player installation is complete.

7. Delete the APK file from FireStick to save space after installation. Click Delete.

8. Click Delete again to remove the SO Player APK file from your FireStick.

You have successfully installed SO Player on FireStick.

You’re now all set. A quick reminder: your internet provider and many websites/apps can see your IP address and some details about your connection. Using a VPN encrypts your traffic and masks your IP address, which helps protect your online privacy.

I recommend ExpressVPN. It’s a reputable VPN with strong encryption and fast connections, and it’s straightforward to install on Fire TV/FireStick and other devices.

Next, I’ll show you how to set up and use ExpressVPN on your Fire TV/Stick. 

Step 1: Subscribe to ExpressVPN HERE. It comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee. Meaning, you can use it for free for the first 30 days, and if you are not satisfied with the performance (which is highly unlikely), you can ask for a full refund.

Step 2: Power ON your Fire TV Stick and go to Find, followed by the Search option.

Step 3: Now type “Expressvpn” (without quotes) in the search bar and select ExpressVPN when it shows up in the search results.

Step 4: Click Download to install the ExpressVPN app on Fire TV / Stick.

Step 5: Open the app and enter the login credentials that you created while buying the ExpressVPN subscription. Click Sign in.

Step 6: Click the Power icon to connect to a VPN server. That’s all. Your connection is now secure with the fastest and best VPN for FireStick.
