Virtual Private Network, also known as VPN allows you to create a secure connection to access websites over another network or location where you are not physically located.

Having a good VPN become increasingly important due to the age of increased surveillance but setting up a VPN connection can be complicated or require installing unmanaged software on your PC. But there are some solutions such as PureVPN that makes it easier for users to set up and run the VPN solution on their computers.

These days VPNs are really popular and there are many companies offering the service. Longtime PureVPN is a good VPN solution for your needs as it delivers an easy to use experience while still being easy to install and uninstall.

What is a VPN?

VPN is a great solution to browse the internet securely and privately. It forwards all your network traffic to a virtual network somewhere on the internet but allows you to browse the web using your own internet connection.

In other words, you can use the PureVPN to browse the internet using computer’s internet connection but it will appear as if you are coming from another country of your choice. This would give you access to services that are not available in your country.

PureVPN Overview

PureVPN is a popular VPN service that you can use to change your computer’s location and get an extra layer of security to watch TV shows, movies or play games that are not accessible in your country.

PureVPN is in the market of VPNs for almost 10 years and the server is in more than 140+ countries and it also comes with malware blocking along with support for DNS and IPv6 leak protection.

Privacy

PureVPN is a privacy-focused VPN service that does not record your activities or what you do online. PureVPN has a zero log policy that means the system does not record your browsing activities, logs, original IPs, the history of your browsing and everything else that you do online.

“Our systems, processes, and servers are designed to not keep any sensitive/personally identifiable data,” PureVPN explains in its privacy policy page.

The app still records the total bandwidth used and as well as the time you connect to a server. Many other popular VPNs also logs connect and disconnect times and the bandwidth.

Price

• $10 per month plan with no savings.
• Everyone’s favorite: Two years plan which requires you to pay $3.54 a month instead of $10.
• There’s also a plan that gives you access to PureVPN for $5 a month and billed annually.

You can pay for PureVPN easily via credit card, PayPal, AliPay, Cashu and there are several other payment methods available on its platform.

PureVPN sends you downloads link to their apps for Windows and other platforms in a welcome email that arrives after you make the payment. We downloaded the app on our Windows machine and the welcome screen had listed out different methods such as Security and Privacy, File Sharing but there’s no detailed description of any these modes. You can however learn more about these modes on the company’s official website.

After selecting a mode, the dashboard would show up and it looks much like any other VPN available in the marketplace. You choose locations from a world map, browse locations and pick up the cities or countries or regions.

The app also shows the ping times of the location which is really helpful and if you’re already familiar with the VPN servers location, you can easily search location by name and enable it or you can create your own list of favorites location.

In nearby locations, we got a speed of up to 40-50mbps which is usable enough for almost everything.

In locations like the United States, the speed was up to 15Mbps in our tests but locations like New York gave us a speed of 20-30Mbps. That’s better than it sounds.

Whatever server we used, the performance was good enough but there are some locations that gave us really slow speed which is only good for basic browsing and communication needs.
