Let’s take a look at some other features of Homelander. These steps are optional, but can improve your experience when using the add-on.

3.1. Using Real Debrid with Homelander

File hosters often limit file availability and bandwidth for free users. Using premium accounts gives you unrestricted access to several file hosters and can greatly improve the quality and quantity of available sources.

When using a Debrid service, your device won’t connect directly to the P2P network. Every download is encrypted via HTTPS protocol.
