Then disconnect from the VPN using the “Disconnect” button in the IPVanish app, go to whatsmyip.org again, and compare the two addresses.

Problems with Kodi 17.1 Android TV Box Setup
If you have trouble installing Kodi on Android, there are a few common causes, such as:
- Your Android TV Box isn’t connected to your WiFi network, or your Internet connection is having problems. To troubleshoot this, check to see if your other WiFi devices can connect to the Internet successfully (actually browse a webpage).
- It’s also possible that Google Play Store won’t let you install apps because you need to enter a Google ID. This can be any Google account! You can even create a Gmail account and use that username and password just for Google Play Store on your Android TV Box.
- Your Internet Service Provider could be limiting the bandwidth they give you to stream Kodi movies. Using a VPN will circumvent this completely.
- If your Android TV Box is having display issues, then check the HDMI cable. Many Android TV Boxes, like the one I have, must have a very solid HDMI connection to display properly. Otherwise, the sound was “crunchy” and was going in and out.
- Try downloading the Kodi APK file directly, which is at http://bit.ly/kodi173arm. This bypasses the Google Play Store, in case you can’t connect to Google Play Store on your Android device / tablet / smartphone.
Download Kodi APK File
To download Kodi 17.1 Android APK file, just go to this link:

IPV-Kodi-728x90
Kodi 17 Krypton is the next version of Kodi that is to be released with some major interface changes. Kodi 17 Krypton is still on Beta and being worked on but you can download and install it on your device and test it out yourself. Kodi 17 Krypton Beta is working well at the moment though it has not been finished yet.
If you plan on streaming content via any of the Kodi addons we recommend using a VPN. A VPN will anonymize your online activity, protect you from spying ISPs, and allow you access to geo-blocked add-ons and content.
We personally use IPVanish VPN and highly recommend it. You can sign up for IPVanish VPN here or if you want to know more about why to use a VPN with Kodi click here
