PureVPN review

Supported Devices

Windows, MacOS, Linux, Android, and iOS along with more than 20 different devices -- including game consoles and routers.

Their iOS app appears to be under review by Apple for approval. However, you can still use manual set up to connect your iOS devices in the meantime.

Ease of Use

PureVPN’s software is simple to use with buttons designed to set features and connect to servers based on what you’d like to do. For example, if you want to see what’s on Netflix across the pond, click the “I want to stream” button and the software takes care of the rest.

If you’re new to VPNs, this approach makes it easier to get the most out of your service. However, if you’re comfortable with VPN features and settings, you can dive into the options and configure things how you see fit.

Simultaneous Connections

You can connect up to 5 devices on a single account. This is comparable with other popular VPN services. Should you need to connect more devices, you can also set up PureVPN on your router with in-depth tutorials available on the website.

Included Features

PureVPN offers a massive set of features. Whether you’re looking to protect specific applications on your computer, keep ads at bay, or ensure the best latency when gaming, there’s a setting or feature to help.

Popular features include:

• Tor and NAT firewall support
• Split Tunneling
• Kill switch support
• Torrenting support
• Regional unlocking
• Dedicated IP add-ons
• DDoS protection
• Malware and ad blockers

PureVPN allows you to use OpenVPN, PPTP, L2TP/IPsec, SSTP, and IKEv2 protocols for flexibility in how you secure your connection. All connections use 256-bit AES encryption.

If you’re looking for a VPN for streaming, Android Headlines highly recommends the service, saying, “Be it Amazon Prime, Netflix, Hulu, or any other streaming service, PureVPN gives the same i.e. a brilliant streaming experience for all streaming services.”

Privacy and Logging

The company is based in British Virgin Islands outside 14 Eyes jurisdiction. However, PureVPN is not a zero log provider. They track bandwidth used on your account.

There are also questions about logging in the company’s past. So if you’re concerned about absolute privacy, pass on PureVPN.

Restore Privacy noted concerns with IP and DNS leaks. However, all the other sites we viewed passed the service with flying colors. We’d recommend using the free trial to check how the service works with your hardware if this concerns you.

Performance

Reviews give PureVPN high marks for speed.

If you’re looking to stream media or use file sharing, PureVPN shouldn’t cause buffering or slow down your connection much. And with 2000+ servers in 140 countries, you’re sure to find a server nearby to keep lag to a minimum.

Support

With 24/7 live chat, you’ll never worry about running into a problem with your service you can’t solve quickly. There’s also around-the-clock email support if you don’t mind waiting a little longer for a response.

However, some reviews had a few issues getting information from the support staff. The VPN Lab notes, “Support staff is quite pleasant and ready to help but their competence seems to be lacking when it comes to the technical part of the story. We wanted to know more about PureVPN’s encryption and we received only half the answer after waiting for some time for the representative to check out the facts with the tech team.”

Still, the representative found the information needed even if they didn’t know the answer firsthand.

Summary

Overall, while there are lingering questions surrounding logging, PureVPN offers a fast, feature-rich VPN experience at some of the lowest prices on the market.

The VPN Lab declares, “If you are searching for a top-notch VPN service and don’t have a problem with paying for quality, you don’t have to search any further.”

Android Headlines says, “Be it the speed, performance, encryption or convenience, PureVPN always keeps its users at the top and tries to customize everything to offer a better experience.”
