Currently, there are thousands of unofficial Netflix Kodi add-ons available. However, CastagnalT is the safest option as its developer is respected within the Kodi community. In addition, it is highly secure as it encrypts your Netflix login credentials. Also, it uses HTTPS internet protocol to connect you to Netflix. Thankfully, it deletes your data altogether when you log out.

Magic Dragon

• Repository name: EzzerMacs Wizard
• Source URL: https://ezzer-mac.com/repo
• Available countries: Worldwide

Magic Dragon is a Kodi addon for streaming various content, including movies and TV shows. While it has a vast collection of content, you should be cautious with the links you follow.

We tested this Disney+ addon and could watch movies and TV shows in HD quality. One of its exciting features is the Search function which makes finding the content easier.

Gaia

• Repository name: GAIA Repository
• Source URL: https://repo.gaiakodi.com/
• Available countries: Worldwide

Gaia is a high-quality and powerful Kodi addon. It is perhaps the best addon on this list, primarily because of the browsing interface. It has various streaming options with all the necessary information on the home screen, making it easy to choose whatever you want to watch. For example, it lists file types, quality, and sources, eliminating the likelihood of getting a bad link.

However, Gaia is optimized for Debrid streaming services like Real Debrid and Premiumize. It means you’ll have to subscribe to the Debrid service to get started. Also, setting it up is a bit difficult, and that’s why the addon is infamous. Nonetheless, once set up, you’ll be able to access premium links to stream content in 4K quality.

Do you need a VPN for Kodi must today?

It is recommended to use a VPN when downloading Kodi addons. That is because some addons have malicious codes that can install malware and even steal your information.

Although VPNs cannot prevent viruses, they employ advanced security features to secure your internet traffic and data. In addition, some services have ad blockers that also stop malware.

However, not all VPNs work with Kodi, and finding the right one is a big challenge. So, after rigorous research and testing, we have compiled a list of the best Kodi VPNs to help you get exemplary service quickly. But if you want a quick recommendation, then below, we briefly review our top recommendation for Kodi, ExpressVPN.

ExpressVPN

ExpressVPN has dedicated apps for Windows, Android, iOS, macOS, Linux, and other platforms. It also provides custom firmware for specific routers and detailed installation guides for Apple TV, Fire TV, Kindle Fire, PlayStation, Chromebooks, etc. Moreover, there are Firefox and Chrome browser extensions too.

Regarding safety, ExpressVPN uses advanced features such as military-grade AES 256-bit encryption, kill switch, perfect forward secrecy, TrustedServer technology, and more. Also, the provider has a no-logs policy and is based in the British Virgin Islands, a privacy-friendly jurisdiction.

The pricing scheme begins with a monthly package at $12.95, slightly higher than the industry standard. However, you can go with the 6-month plan costing $9.99 per month. The one-year package offers the best value for money, reducing the cost to $8.32 per month plus 3 free months.

ExpressVPN supports various payment methods, including cards, PayPal, Bitcoin, AliPay, Yandex Money, and more. Fortunately, it offers a 30-day money-back guarantee, which means you’ll get a refund from ExpressVPN within 30 days of subscription if you don’t like the VPN for any reason.

Why aren’t my Kodi addons working?

Informal developers generate most add-ons available on Kodi, so they aren’t always up-to-date and malware-free. We have tested all the addons listed above and found them working perfectly. However, some Kodi extensions clash with each other sometimes, like after updates.

So, below we list some common addon issues and how to solve them.

Prevent addons from buffering or freezing on Kodi

Buffering and freezing problems are caused mainly by addon conflicts. Is it a new addon, or has it been updated recently? If you cannot recognize the issue, disable your hardware acceleration. Here is how to do it:

• First, click the gear icon on your home screen.
• Go to ‘Player Settings.’
• Click ‘Basic‘ three times to change it to ‘Expert.’
• Next, choose the ‘Video‘ tab.
• Deactivate ‘Allow hardware acceleration VTBDecoder.’

Sometimes, you need to re-install a Kodi addon if the problem persists. Although this may seem a drastic measure, it’ll ensure that you’re using the latest addon version. In addition, this will probably end the freezing issue.

---

Prevent the ‘Failed to install a dependency’ error message

Many add-ons depend on other files and programs to function correctly. Usually, these are shown when downloading the addon and will install automatically. However, an error may sometimes arise, so here is an easy fix for it.

First, start by clearing the Kodi cache to troubleshoot the error. The simplest way to do it is by using the Indigo addon.

Use the following steps to clear your cache:

• Install the Fusion repository from https://fusion.tvaddons.co/.
• Download the Indigo addon.
• Open the Indigo add-on.
• Tap on ‘Maintenance Tools.’
• Click ‘Clear Cache‘ and confirm.

---

Solve the ‘Unable to Connect’ error message when adding sources

This error will usually come when the repository isn’t working or has shut down. However, you can try the following troubleshooting tips before you give up on the addon:

• Double-check whether you have input the repository URL correctly.
• Confirm if your internet is working properly.
• Use a reliable VPN to prevent your ISP from blocking your connections. It will allow you to access the content you want risk-free. ExpressVPN is an excellent choice as it has high-quality security features to keep you safe alongside excellent unblocking capabilities.
• Find an alternative link to the repository or check if the addon is featured in a different repository.

---

Fix the ‘Check log for more information’ error message

The easiest way to check your log is by using the Kodi addon log viewer from the official Kodi repository. View your Kodi log by using the following steps:

• Click ‘Add-ons‘ from Kodi’s home screen.
• On the sidebar, tap on the open box icon.
• Click ‘Install from repository.’
• Select the ‘Kodi Add-on repository.’
• Click ‘Program Add-on.’
• Tap on ‘Log viewer for Kodi’ and click ‘Install.’
• Navigate to the addon at the ‘Program add-ons‘ category.
• Read the log file and follow the guidelines to solve the error.
• Try to clear your cache if the log doesn’t have clear directions.

Even after trying the above instructions, there may be technical difficulties with your IP address if you still get the error message. So, in that case, the best solution is to use a VPN to change your IP address.

Latest developments in the Kodi community

Recently, there have been naming suggestions for the next Kodi version. Traditionally, new releases have sci-fi theme names like Leia, Matric, Krypton, etc. Eventually, it was agreed that Kodi 20 would be named ‘Nexus,’ although it isn’t coming any time soon as things stand.

Kodi’ Matrix’ 19.1, which solved a lot of bugs, was introduced in May 2021. Unfortunately, it didn’t include any new features from the previous version, and the release press is just a dry read. However, this kind of maintenance is necessary to improve the experience.

The most significant change has to be with the first official Kodi 19.x build released in January 2021. It features multiple updates, especially in the maintenance of installed addons. While many of the changes were technical, one is worth pointing out. The addons you initially installed manually from a URL or zip file will no longer be available. Instead, you will have to delete the old version to get the latest version.

Keeping up with Kodi addons

Good things in the Kodi community are yet to come. Nonetheless, after several rough years because of the third-party addons, the official Kodi is back as an excellent choice software for playing media. So, try to make visiting Kodi’s official changelog page frequently a habit to stay updated about the latest changes and improvements on the current version.

Conclusion

Kodi can enable you to stream almost anything you want with the correct addons. But most add-ons either don’t work or can even infect your devices with malware. Fortunately, the Kodi addons featured above work well and are safe, including those from third-party repositories.

However, we recommend using a VPN to protect your connections from potential online dangers. It will also help you bypass geographic restrictions and watch content from anywhere. Our top VPN pick for Kodi is ExpressVPN, as it boasts robust security features and unblocks almost all geo-blocks.
