Is the Roku Add-on Legal?

It’s impossible for TROYPOINT to determine whether these unverified add-ons carry the proper licensing.

While Roku is a verified streaming platform, it’s difficult to know if the “SlyGuy Repository” is providing this content with consent.

The end-user is responsible for all content accessed through unverified add-ons. For verified options, see our list of legal streaming apps.

Is This Safe to Use?

It is extremely important to know the safety of these 3rd party add-ons and the best way to determine this is by scanning the Repo URL for files or malware.

A screenshot of this scan from VirusTotal is provided below.

VirusTotal did find any suspicious files within the SlyGuy Repository URL. However, we should always protect ourselves when streaming content from unverified 3rd party add-ons.

The best way to protect yourself is with a reliable VPN. A VPN will provide you with an anonymous connection while using questionable add-ons such as this. See our VPN on Firestick tutorial for more details.
