Alvin Kodi Addon Installation Guide & FAQs

This tutorial will teach us how to install the Alvin Kodi add-on in 2-3 minutes. Undoubtedly Alvin is among the top Kodi add-ons even in 2023. Interestingly, it is a lightweight Kodi add-on with around 500KB.

Though Alvin is not from Kodi’s official repository, developers regularly update the Alvin add-on library. Alvin add-on, the fork of the Exodus add-on, supports torrent streaming and full HD Videos. Moreover, Alvin is on the Kodi 19 Matrix builds and add-ons list and works with Kodi 19.

Alvin is a lightweight Kodi add-on with simple, user-friendly navigation and layout. You can have buffering-free and fast video streaming on the Alvin add-on. Like the TheOath Kodi add-on, you can integrate Real-debrid with the Alvin add-on.

Attention, Cord-cutters!

I want to warn you that whatever you stream online is visible to the Government, ISPs, and Third Parties. Following are some of your details:-

IP Address: 35.172.111.47
Location: Virginia US
ISP: AS14618 Amazon.com, Inc.

You must be aware that streaming copyrighted content without a license is illegal and may land you in legal trouble.

I urge you to comply with the rules and regulations in your country, but what if you land up streaming illegal content unintentionally?

Hence, I suggest using the most secure VPN, i.e., IPVanish which has military-grade encryption. In addition, IPVanish enables buffering-free streaming, hides your IP address, Location, and bypasses the geo-restrictions and bandwidth throttling.

Useful Guides:

Before you start streaming on Kodi, I would like to warn you once again that we do not know the source of Kodi Repositories, Wizards, Builds, and Addons and from where they fetch the streams.

The content you stream on Kodi may be copyrighted and may land you in legal trouble because ISPs, Government, and authorized companies may monitor your online activities like streaming copyrighted movies, videos, TV shows, live shows, animes, etc.

To stay protected, and to get an exceptional streaming experience, I suggest you use IPVanish which is the fastest, most secure, and military-grade encryption VPN on the planet. In addition, IPVanish hides your original IP address, and encrypts your internet connection, bypasses bandwidth throttling and geo-restrictions.

I have been personally using IPVanish for a couple of years and what I can say is IPVanish is the best VPN in all aspects for all devices. I did not face any problems with any app or device.

Note: VPNHacks.com does not support or encourage piracy and copyright infringements in any form. You should abide by the rules and regulations in your country. We just want to protect you because sometimes you may land up streaming copyrighted content unintentionally.
