Hello people, we will talk about the highly popular and in-demand Kodi Addon Exodus Redux and Exodus V8. I will guide you through a simple and detailed process of how to install Exodus Redux and Exodus V8 Kodi Addons on your Firestick and other streaming devices.
How to install Exodus Redux and Exodus V8 Kodi Addons
Exodus Redux and Exodus are very similar but two different Addons. Redux is newer compared to the Exodus, both the Addons have the same layout and very similar interface.
Exodus Redux started as a clone of the very popular Exodus, but have risen above its clone parent by providing everything it is providing, with regular updates. The original Exodus was abandoned by its developers and went offline for a while. That is basically why the clone came to join the party.
The old Exodus did return after a while with the aid of a few independent developers. It started providing regular updates, but the newer version of the addon (Exodus Redux) feels smoother and more convenient.
Although I am using an Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K and Windows to illustrate the installation, these guides demonstrated here work perfectly well for the installation of Exodus Redux and Exodus V8 on any Kodi Devices.

Hide your identity while using Exodus
When using third-party addons on Kodi, using a secure VPN is strongly advised. That is due to a few reasons. Kodi is an open-source media player, and it does not check every single addon and repositories in their database. Some of the third-party addons may break into your device and access your private data.
Both Exodus V8 and Redux are third-party addons, while they are used widely all over the world; they are not safe for your safety. That is why using a VPN is necessary.
One of the reasons to use a secure VPN is that these addons provide access to a lot of illegal and copyrighted content. While it is legal to stream the content available to the public domain, streaming the copyrighted content, knowingly or unknowingly, may result in legal action against you from your ISP.
The other thing to consider while using these addons is that these addons use torrenting to scrape links for the content you request. Torrenting puts your privacy at high risk. It exposes your IP Address to a lot of peers that support that torrent.
How a VPN works
A secure VPN lets you mask your IP Address and use an IP Address, which is potentially a thousand miles away from you. That saves you from the invasion of your privacy and prevents you from the legal action from authorities or your IPS if you unknowingly access the copyrighted content.
Choosing a VPN is an important step. One thing to consider while choosing a VPN is that a lot of free VPNs expose your privacy even more than it already is. So be careful about which VPN provider you want, and ensure that they use secure encryption to provide you with proper security.
Here I am listing the best VPN you can use for multiple uses and Kodi:
1. ExpressVPN: ExpressVPN is currently the Best VPN for Kodi and other uses. ExpressVPN lets you bypass any restrictions that may be imposed on you because of the unavailability of the content in your area. You can use a secure IP Address from the country in which that content is available.
2. NordVPN: NordVPN is the second-best VPN you can use right now. It provides its users with the best online security possible. It has thousands of servers all around the world, with some of them dedicated to P2P, which gives the users the safest surfing and streaming possible.
3. CyberGhost: CyberGhost is an excellent VPN for Kodi. It is a zero-log provider, and it allows BitTorrent and other P2P network traffic. Since these Addons use torrent links as well, CyberGhost will ensure your privacy and safety.
Here I am providing a complete step-by-step tutorial on how you can install Exodus Redux and Exodus V8 on your device. If you are very new to Kodi and are using it for the first time, the first thing you will need to do before installing third-party addons is to enable Unknown Sources.
