Additionally, your personal data is now encrypted from the developers of these third-party Stremio Addons.

Logging Into Stremio

Once you open the Stremio app, it will ask you to login to an account in order to use Stremio.

It is advised to use a temporary email address, or a fake one, to protect against cross-data tracking.

Stremio does not require you to confirm your email address, so you can type in fake credentials if you'd like.

If you want to use your account across devices, a good site to use for temporary email addresses is Tempail.com which is free to use and takes seconds to generate a temporary email you can use.

Once you have your temporary email, go ahead and click Sign Up at the Home Screen of Stremio.

Once you click Sign Up, it will ask you to enter an email address and to create a password.

Click on the first two boxes to accept the Terms and Conditions and Privacy Policy then click on Sign up.

Once you click on Sign Up, you will be logged into Stremio and can use it on your device.

Installing Official Stremio Addons

Now that we are all logged in and set up with Stremio & IPVanish VPN, we can now use Stremio and stream anonymously.

Stremio will be automatically loaded with the best Official Stremio Addons by default.

Stay within the Official Stremio Addon Section to ensure you don’t have exposure to malware, viruses and copyrighted content through third-party addons.

To see your installed Stremio Addons or to install new Addons, click the button in the top left corner of Stremio then select Addons.

From here you can filter by Official or Community Addons. We advise to stay within the Official Stremio Addons strictly.

Please stay away from illegal third-party community addons since they may contain copyrighted content.

Once you have your Stremio Addons setup as you like, you can now use Stremio on your device.

Do I Need a VPN When Using Stremio?

We always recommend using a VPN with zero-logs like IPVanish VPN when using Stremio. The reason is Stremio is an open-sourced software that allows anyone to develop addons. Many of these addons and builds are susceptible to the developers tracking your data and selling it.

If you don't want your personal data to be harvested and sold for advertising purposes, it's always recommended to use a good VPN service with Stremio that will also hide your IP address to prevent your ISP or government from spying on you. Additionally, a VPN can be used to unblock content that is geo-restricted or blocked by your ISP.

IPVanish VPN has a 30-day money-back guarantee so you can try it on unlimited devices risk-free.

What Devices Can I Use Stremio On?

Stremio will work on all android devices with ease. This includes but is not limited to, Fire TV Devices, Fire TV Cube, Android TV Boxes, Nvidia Shield etc.

Stremio installation on all of these firestick devices and android devices is very easy when using a good VPN service.

You can also install Stremio on PC or Mac, but I recommend just sticking to Android devices that do not contain sensitive personal information.

Can I Get Into Legal Trouble Using Stremio?

Installing Stremio is legal and completely safe.

Where you may run into legal trouble is with the Addons you are using with Stremio.

It is advised to only use Official Stremio Addons that are verified as legal and that have proper copyright licensing for their content they provide.

If you use third-party or Community Addons, it is recommended to only use them for content on the Public Domain to be safe if you cannot verify the licensing they have.

Always use a good VPN with zero-logs to hide your IP address & encrypt your personal data when using Stremio Addons or Builds.

The use of a VPN with zero-logs will always make your streaming activity completely anonymous.
