The following tutorial will show you How to Install VPN Monitor Dot on Firestick, Fire TV, and Android TV/Google TV.
Most cord-cutters use a VPN on their preferred streaming device to ensure anonymity and protect their data.
This includes streaming devices such as the Amazon Firestick which is the most popular device available due to its low price point and jailbreaking abilities.
If you use a VPN in conjunction with various Streaming Apps and APKs, you likely want to know when your connection is secure.
In the past, many used VPNSafetyDot which provided a simple dot on your screen to notify you of your VPN connection status.
However, VPNSafetyDot recently updated its app and is now requiring payment for use.

It was only a matter of time before a replacement app came along and there is now a VPNSafetyDot alternative.
This is called VPN Monitor Dot and it works in the same fashion to provide users peace of mind when streaming.
Special thanks to EngineerMind from the TROYPOINT Insider who created this fabulous tool!
While using this tool is a great way to check your VPN status, it can not ensure your safety when streaming.
The best way to do this is by using the VPN Kill Switch that is available on the Surfshark App for both Firestick and Android TV.

By using a Kill Switch, your internet connection will immediately be terminated if your VPN is disconnected for any reason.
This guarantees you are never unprotected when using various streaming apps and websites on any device.
For those who still wish to use VPN Monitor, we can easily install it from their official website by following the instructions below.
In this guide, we are using a Fire TV Stick 4K Max.
However, this will also work for any variation of Firestick as well as Android devices such as NVIDIA SHIELD, MECOOL, and Chromecast with Google TV.
