This in-depth report of the Tempest Kodi Addon will provide you with everything you need to know about this add-on on Firestick, Fire TV, Android TV Box, or any other device.
Is Tempest Kodi safe to use? Is Tempest Kodi Addon legal? How do I install Tempest Kodi Addon? We will answer those questions and more in this article.

The reason why we ask legal questions is due to the fact that Tempest isn’t available in Kodi’s official repository. This is oftentimes a warning sign.
Since this add-on can’t be installed through the official Kodi repository, it must be installed from an external provider which we display in the screenshot guide below.
Tempest serves up Movies and TV Shows for streaming. It is a fork of the ever-popular Covenant Kodi Addon.
Currently, Tempest is working fabulously with tons of high-quality links.
Because it stays updated and is full of content, Tempest is listed as one of EKB’s Best Kodi Addons.
Note: If you do not have Kodi on your device, you can install the latest release using our guides below:

Below you will find a screenshot guide to install Tempest on your Kodi device. We are using an Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K.
These same steps also work for those using the Firestick Lite, 3rd Gen Fire TV Stick, Fire TVs, Fire TV Cube, and any Fire TV device.
This process also applies to those using Android devices such as the NVIDIA SHIELD, MECOOL Boxes, Chromecast, Android TV Boxes, phones, tablets, and more.
Is Tempest Kodi Addon Safe to Use?
Before I install this, I first want to scan their repository URL with VirusTotal.
Here is the screenshot of the scan results.
VirusTotal did not find any suspicious files or malware within the Tempest repository URL.
However, this does not mean we shouldn’t protect ourselves when streaming content from this unverified 3rd party add-on.
The best way to protect yourself when using Tempest Kodi is with IPVanish VPN.
IPVanish will provide you with an anonymous connection while streaming or downloading while using questionable add-ons such as this.
