![]() The normal way to login is by location, but they also offer channels. There have also been media articles that claim that PureVPN has turned over information to authorities, something they couldn’t do if they did not keep any. PureVPN also claims they do not keep any logs, but in their terms, they say that they do keep records. There are numerous reports online of people having their DNS/IP address leaked while using PureVPN. Stream is usually the fastest mode and the one that I normally pick. Once you have installed your Windows or macOS app, you are presented with choices on what mode you want to use. The downside is that New Zealand servers are not helpful if you are trying to access location-based content like Netflix, Hulu, or Amazon Prime. They almost always have download speeds of 80mbps or faster. One positive with PureVPN is that the New Zealand servers have fast speed. ![]() The speeds are so slow that I would not connect the VPN to a router unless you were planning just to use New Zealand servers. It can also be too slow to stream videos. There are times that PureVPN is so slow that you notice it on regular web browsing. I never noticed speeds to USA or European servers over 50mbps. The speed table was done using standard USA servers, and it is evident that PureVPN is slow. They have 12 servers in New Zealand and about 80 servers in Australia. PureVPN lists over 140 countries that they have 2000+ servers in. You are able to have 5 devices logged in with PureVPN from the same country at one time. Sometimes when I use the FireTV app I have to disconnect from the internet on the FireTV to get it functioning again. The macOS app has caused me to need to restart my computer. They have stated that they are working on getting it approved. As of January 2019 their iOS app is not available in the app store, even though it was previously. PureVPN offers many apps that provide access without manually having to configure your computer. It did track with TopCashback, and I ended up paying $6.89 for 12 months. I then pasted the $11.88 URL and paid for the subscription. Then I went to TopCashback and clicked on their link which displayed the normal landing page. I first went to the targeted add for $11.88 and copied the URL. The portal I used was TopCashback, which had a 42% cash back offer. This might not work for you, but if you are comfortable paying the $11.88, I would give it a try. I was able to stack the cash back portal with the $11.88 offer. PureVPN also appears on some US shopping portals. When you click through the shopping portal, you will get the regular landing page price. If you have an ad blocker enabled, you will not get these ads. Within a couple of days, you should receive targeted adds for $11.88 for one year. The first thing to do to get the cheaper price is to visit the normal landing page. The pricing of PureVPN does not seem bad when you look at the normal landing page, but it gets much cheaper. Make sure that you leave several days for the cancellation to go through. ![]() Canceling is difficult with a lot of questions asked. The truth of the matter is nowhere close to being no questions asked. PureVPN does offer a 31 day “no questions asked” refund policy. ![]() I did not sign up for the three-day trial. I was not able to find any information on if your paid trial automatically renews or not. They do offer a paid three day trial for $2.50USD. Since New Zealand is basically at the end of the world internet wise, performance on VPNs can be very different than a review done in the states. My review is based on my experiences using PureVPN in New Zealand. PureVPN is a VPN that has mixed reviews on the internet.
