Is Revolution Kodi Addon Safe to Use?

Before installing anything, I always scan the repository URL with VirusTotal.

Take a look at the screenshot of the scan results.

VirusTotal didn’t find any suspicious files or malware. It looks like the Revolution repository URL is clean.

But here’s the thing. We still need to be careful when streaming from unverified third-party add-ons.

Kodi even warns us during setup. It lets us know that these third-party add-ons can access personal data on our devices.  

The best way to stay safe with Revolution is to use IPVanish VPN

IPVanish creates an anonymous connection for you. You’ll be protected while streaming or downloading, even when using iffy add-ons.
