Why I recommend PureVPN

PureVPN is a Hong Kong based provider and has an excellent reputation in the VPN industry. Even PureVPN it is on top list of VPN services if we talk about firestick. It has increased its server spread above 2000 across 141 countries which makes it a solid choice for people who prefer privacy as their top concern.

PureVPN recently came under scrutiny from cyber experts for keeping logs which gave a very negative image to the service. However their brand team is in the process of recovering the lost glory it once had.

I have been using this service since 2 years and I am very satisfied so far with the support PureVPN gives to its clients.

Pricing:

The only con I find in PureVPN is they do not offer any free trial, instead you can try it for $2.50 which lasts only 3 days. It comes with three different plans as follows:

  1. 3.53/month for 2 years
  2. 5.41/month for 1 years
  3. 10.95/month with no savings at all.

All the above plans comes with 31 day money back guarantee in case you did't like the service.

The payment plan laid out by PureVPN is simple and has considerable amount of options to choose from which includes Paypal, credit cards, Alertpay, Bank Transfer, Paymentwall, and Bitcoin.

It has also partnered with Paymentwall for customers who wish to pay with other e-payment methods such as AliPay, Webmoney, Yandex, PaySafeCard, Ukash, CashU, Giropay, Necard, Mercado Pago, MyCard Wallet, Qiwi, iDeal, Todito Cash, Mol Points, NeoSurf, Dotpay, and others.

Compatibility and Features:

PureVPN is compatible with Windows, Mac, HP Web OS, iOS, Android, BlackBerry, Routers and Boxee Box but custom PureVPN apps are only available for Windows, Mac, iOS, and Android.

It was available in Windows, Mac and Android previously but recently they manage to publish their app on iOS as well. In-fact PureVPN is available in the list of top 10 iOS VPN of 2019 as well

PureVPN has unique feature called split tunneling which gives you the freedom to choose which data goes through VPN connection. Great isn't it? They also have malware protection, ad blocking, URL filtering, and app filtering. Another feature which can be highlighted is their military grade encryption with IPv6 leak protection and a built-in kill switch.

Performance and Servers:

Since the provider has more than 2000+ servers, it comes with big challenges too such as how many servers are optimized for different regions. The biggest number of servers are present in USA, UK and Canada. I played games and streamed movies choosing different regions and surprisingly the speeds were optimal in most cases with no huge drops.

PureVPN and Netflix:

To be honest I did have some issues with Netflix when connecting on mobile and desktop however when I used their chrome and firefox extension, I was able to stream content very smoothly. This is one area where PureVPN needs to improve heavily.

PureVPN and China:

Since there is Great Firewall in China which blocks all the outside content, PureVPN can bypass it rather easily. Its well documented as most chinese users claim to be successful in accessing all the blocked sites and apps.

Support:

PureVPN's 24/7/365 support is always there to respond promptly and solve issues instantly.

My Remarks:

Finally I would say, I love this service with its easy to use interface offering lot of customized options adding value to the product.

The bad reviews will always be there but in the end with good marketing efforts and satisfying queries of its users quickly will definitely make PureVPN a much bigger brand.
