Ares Wizard is Down: Best Alternatives to Ares Wizard Kodi Addon

Ares Wizard is an all-in-one third party setup specially designed for Kodi. Ares Wizard can monitor your system, recommend reliable add-ons or even install them and do so much more. It has reliable builds and add-ons.

But unfortunately, the Ares Wizard shut down recently. The Ares Repository was taken offline. Repositories are delivery mechanisms within Kodi that enable access, use and manipulation of its add-ons. There are legal repositories and some are third-party repositories like Ares Wizard which are not necessarily legal in providing content.

I do however have some good news for you – though the legendary Ares Wizard has been off the radar, there are some really great alternatives available to replace Ares Wizard.

Get a VPN First

Before you get started though, it’s really important that you get a VPN on your system. A VPN –Virtual Private Network –  has two different benefits that are necessary for cord cutters and streamers alike.

The first benefit is in terms of security – you see, VPNs create a “virtual tunnel” between your device and the content you are accessing. This means that some streams that when you’re accessing a sports event with a Kodi add-on that you would otherwise need to pay exorbitant PPV rates for, you do not get into trouble. Your ISP will not know what you are viewing and neither will anyone else!

The second benefit is bypassing geoblocking. Geoblocking occurs when specific content is accessible in only certain countries or regions. Rights providers do this for a variety of different reasons, but a great benefit of a VPN is that you can mask your connection so that it appears as if you are in a completely different country!

IPVanish is probably the best of the bunch right now and is specifically designed for streaming content. It has servers all over the world letting you bypass geotargeting & even better? We’ve got a special offer for our readers giving you 81% off!
