taz-kodi-addon

This detailed report about the Taz Kodi Addon will give you the rundown on this add-on. Learn how to use it on Firestick, Fire TV, Android TV Box, or other devices.

We’ll tackle some important questions.  Is Taz Kodi Addon safe and legal? How can I install Taz Kodi?  Let’s get started.

We’re bringing up the legal stuff because Taz isn’t in Kodi’s official repository. This is often a red flag when looking at add-ons.

You can’t install this add-on the usual way through Kodi’s official repository. It has to be installed from an external provider. We’ve included a screenshot guide below to walk you through it.

Taz is a video add-on. You’ll find it in the Octopus Repository, which has other good video add-ons like Alvin.

It’s also a new version of the popular Exodus Kodi add-on, with a really similar interface. Plus, it’s got a wide selection of movies and TV series.

That’s why Taz is ranked among TROYPOINT’s Best Kodi Add-ons today.

TROYPOINT suggests integrating a real-debrid account with TAZ for the best experience. You’ll gain access to high-quality links, including torrenting, so you can stream without buffering.

We’ll show you how to set up Real-Debrid with this add-on after the installation guide.

NOTE: We’ve noticed that TAZ includes torrent links when real-debrid is connected. If you plan on torrenting, use a VPN to protect your privacy.

Is Taz Kodi Addon Safe?

I always scan the repository URL with VirusTotal before installing anything. It’s a good way to ensure safety and security.

You can check out the scan results in the screenshot below.

VirusTotal didn’t detect any malware in the Taz repository URL. That’s good news, but it’s always smart to be cautious. Especially when streaming from unofficial add-ons.

We always recommend protecting yourself when using third-party add-ons like Taz Kodi. A good VPN is the best way to do this. 

Consider using IPVanish VPN for a secure connection. It keeps your streaming and downloading activity private if you’re using add-ons like this one.
