Hi guys, thanks for visiting the post! Yes, you read it right, FREE is a Kodi addon available at DeJaVu repo. Now, I’ll be honest, this addon is not the best in terms of quality or stable links in comparison to some of the other addons we’ve shared with you in the past. So why am I telling you to install it?
Well, simply put, Kodi addons come and go, so having another working addon is always useful when you’re looking for something to keep you entertained. The FREE Kodi addon is a good option to entertain yourself for some time with random movies and TV shows. FREE Kodi addon has been around for almost a year now and is still working unlike many other addons.
Before moving on to the steps to install FREE Kodi addon in 2021 let me point to something more important.
How to Restore Kodi 18
Since Kodi 19 is based on Python 3, some of the best Kodi addons through 2020 are no more compatible with Kodi 19. However the solution is easy, check out this guide to restore Kodi 18.
Why Install FREE Kodi Addon?
Simply because it is free! That being said on a lighter note, FREE Kodi addon offers a good way to pass the time since it offers TV shows, movies, random videos, documentaries, and more. For stable links and HQ content, consider installing the ClickSville addon. I found some rare hits from the past you hardly come across on the internet.
It is not that FREE addon has exclusive content you won’t find anywhere. But imagine how good it feels when something amazing exists but you find it while going through the list of titles on a user-friendly interface!
Well, don’t expect extraordinary quality. This community addon offers a long list of categories and titles but not all are stable. The links are often down, streaming speed is average, and you are lucky if an HQ video link works. Still, FREE Kodi addon is recommended since it doesn’t charge anything and you often find interesting titles you never heard about.
Advantages of FREE Kodi Addon
- Free content / no subscription required
- Huge library of titles and a long list of categories
- Speed is good if a VPN is ON
Disadvantages of FREE Kodi Addon
- Unstable links
- Must use with a VPN since it is a community addon
Shellfire – Always Use a Reliable VPN for Kodi
Privacy is a huge issue these days since most government agencies collaborate with ISPs to collect personal information and check the browsing history and online activities of internet users. Not only this, governments or states (in some regions) use this facility to spy on journalists and professionals, censoring what they say online. To counter these issues, more and more internet users opt for a VPN service.
We don’t encourage illegal activities, however, optimizing streaming speed and quality and protecting devices from hackers isn’t illegal. Shellfire VPN is a credible VPN service that started operating in Germany and has now flourished worldwide. This service now operates in 37 countries in addition to Germany, including the United States and the United Kingdom.
At the moment, over 250k subscribers use Shellfire VPN and this number is on the rise. The reason is that Shellfire VPN is available at competitive prices and is compatible with multiple Operating Systems including iOS, Android, and Windows.
Speed
ISPs love limiting bandwidth during high-usage hours and hurts streaming geeks the most. However, Shellfire VPN lets your devices bypass these restrictions. The service offers 256k encryption with unlimited speed. It becomes handy when you are dealing with a streaming plugin that suffers from continuous buffering.
Anonymity and Bypassing Censorship
Since the best content is often restricted in different regions. The reason is that exclusive media content is often paid on most regions and is available for free only in the country from where it originally broadcasts. With Shellfire VPN, you can bypass these restrictions by connecting to the right server. On top of that, you can stream anonymously since Shellfire uses the latest encryption techniques to protect user data and browsing history. The servers do not save logs of user activity.
Security
A device connected to a VPN server is virtually impossible to hack. Top-notch encryption is the reason that keeps hackers at a distance. This feature becomes extremely important when you are using a public network or WiFi connection. The end-to-end 256kb encryption keeps your device and Operating System secure from potential hacking attempts.
Steps to Install FREE Kodi Addon
Before beginning to install FREE Kodi addon, you need to configure Kodi downloading settings since this is a community addon.
