In this guide, I will demonstrate how to install Exodus Redux and Exodus 8.1.5 addons on Kodi. You can install these addons on FireStick, Android & iOS mobile devices, Linux, Mac & Windows computers, and other Kodi platforms.
Exodus has been one of the most popular Kodi addons. It has been around for a few years now. The addon used to work really well but was abandoned by its original developers. It was later revived by another team of developers. This team has recently released the upgraded version Exodus v8.1.5. This version takes care of many bugs and issues that plagued this addon for a long time.
Several clones of Exodus have spawned in the past. Only a few stood out. Exodus Redux is one of them. You can say that now there are two variants of Exodus Kodi addon – Exodus V8.1.5 (basically Exodus itself) and Exodus Redux.
Exodus Redux is newer and has top-rated scrapers. The original Exodus with its new version 8.1.5 is also doing a fabulous job now.
I will cover the installation process of Exodus V8.1.5 as well. However, I will first start with Exodus Redux as it is more popular these days.
FireStickHow.com does not verify the legality or security of any addons / builds / services covered on this website.
I strongly suggest you protect your identity and security with a good Kodi VPN when using low-cost or free streaming services. A VPN will encrypt your connection and hide your original IP address that makes impossible for ISPs, hackers, and Governments to find out what you are doing online.
I personally use and recommend ExpressVPN due to its blazing fast speeds, 256-bit strong encryption, zero-log policy, and incredible 24×7 support. It also comes with a risk-free 30-day money-back guarantee.

You are now all set to start streaming. However, before you do, I would like to warn you that your online identity is unprotected and everything you stream is visible to your ISP and Government. This means, watching free movies, TV shows, Live TV, Sports might get you into legal trouble.
Most Kodi users are nowadays using a Kodi VPN to hide their IP from anyone who might be tracking you including your ISP and Government. I always connect ExpressVPN on all my streaming devices and I suggest you do the same.
ExpressVPN is the fastest and most secure VPN. It comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee. Meaning, you can use it freely for the first 30-days and if you are not satisfied with the performance, you can ask for the full refund.
NOTE: We do not encourage the violation of the copyright laws. A VPN should be used to protect your privacy, not for streaming pirated content.
So, before you start streaming on Kodi, here's how to get a VPN protection in 3 simple steps.
Step 1: Subscribe to ExpressVPN HERE.
Step 2: Click HERE to download and install the ExpressVPN app on your device.
Step 3: Open ExpressVPN app and Click the Power icon to connect a VPN server.
That's all. Your connection is now secure with the fastest and best VPN for Kodi.
