Plex is a client-server media player that lets you manage, organize, and stream movies, pictures, TV shows, family videos, and much more in one place. By installing the Plex Kodi addon, you will have the convenience of streaming the plex media content without exiting the Kodi app. In this article, we will show how to install the Plex addon on the latest version of Kodi. Before installing the Plex addon, you need to set up and run the Plex media server on any NAS device. You can also purchase the Plex Pass service for your account to access advanced features like live TV, premium music, premium videos, offline sync, parental controls, and many more.
Before using Kodi, users must remember the fact that their IP and online activities are visible to the ISPs and Government while using Kodi. If you stream copyrighted content through Kodi, you will end up facing some serious legal issues. To avoid this, you must use a trusted VPN service to mask your internet activities from ISPs, hackers, Government, and many more. On the other hand, VPN also helps you to access geo-restricted media with ease.
