A VPN helps you avoid any restrictions imposed by your ISP. Kodi’s library can be filled with pirated content that, if filtered out, might result in your ISP throttling your speeds or entirely blocking your network. Using a premium VPN (like NordVPN) masks your location information. It also provides a US IP address, making it possible to watch shows on platforms like MLB.TV and Red Bull TV from anywhere. Besides, ISPs can reduce your speeds if they detect high-bandwidth activities. Using a VPN helps avoid discrimination against particular types of internet traffic (like UHD streaming and gaming).
