What is the Fen Kodi Addon?
To ensure that the addon works properly, it's important to follow all of the installation steps carefully and thoroughly.
Great news for movie and TV show enthusiasts! The Fen Kodi addon, a lightweight and powerful tool, has returned after a brief hiatus in 2022. However, since early 2025, it has been removed from the official repository. Fortunately, the developers of the Umbrella addon have added Fen to their repository, allowing users to continue enjoying it.
As a video-on-demand addon, Fen offers a wide selection of movies and TV shows, including new releases and recently aired episodes.
It is also compatible with Trakt, a handy tool for synchronising your favourite movies, shows, watchlists, and more across multiple devices and applications. With Trakt, you can easily track what you’re watching and never miss an episode!

Is the Fen Addon Legal?
Yes, it certainly is! This addon does not host any content and is essentially just a search engine. It is, therefore, 100% legal to install. However, most links scraped from databases and websites are unlikely to hold the proper licencing for distributing the content. In reality, this means you will be unlawfully streaming copyrighted content. Doing so could get you into legal trouble. Accordingly, you may prefer to use this addon with a VPN.
WARNING YOUR IP ADDRESS IS: 72.14.201.245
In order to stream anonymously, stay protected, and unlock the internet, I recommend using NordVPN.
Legal Copyright Disclaimer: As has been noted, streaming copyrighted content is unlawful and could get you into legal trouble. On account of this, we do not condone the streaming of copyrighted content. Therefore, check your local laws for streaming content online before doing so.
