    PureVPN SpeedTest


    PureVPN was among the fastest VPN Providers we tested. Their PPTP Protocol was the fastest as expected, but their SSTP protocol was not far behind. While we were testing their servers, we had trouble connecting to their L2TP protocol but this may have just been temporary maintenance or server issues. Below are the speed restuls

    How do I use this information?
    Our Speed Test, tested PureVPN’s VPN Servers from a relative point (Florida in our case). A VPN Server close to our location (eg. New York) will be faster than a server farther away (eg. Australia). With this in mind, the servers closer to your location will most likely be faster than servers farther away. Our speed test is meant to provide an example of Server Speed x Distance (ping).

    Best VPN for Dedicated IPs

    Sep 12, 2012 by Rose

    Purevpn is just what I was looking for. A true 5-star vpn provider, and provides you with a dedicated ip address. It's fast, reliable and allows me to do me job without any issues.

    Highly recommended!


    Aug 25, 2012 by Marshall

    This is the number 1 VPN i've came upon. Auto-reconnection and the ability to split select traffic through the VPN and other traffic through your local network. Wow what more could i ask for thanks for the service.


    Aug 23, 2012 by Bryan

    Software is very easy to use and has tons of great features. Made my life simple "Thanks"


    Jun 18, 2012 by Chris

    The signup process was simple and easy. I was able to get online with the VPN in about 15 minutes after ordering.

    The software is very clean and well designed. It has some neat features you probably won't find with other VPN's like the Split Tunneling.

    Their network for the most part is fast. Some servers are slow and may lag but they have a pretty big selection of servers and countries so you most likely will always find a fast server. Something I noticed was that they have a large cluster of servers in the UK (about 8 servers) but that's not really a bad thing.

    Their support is very friendly. I have contacted them a few times and I have had nothing but a good experience with them.

    The price is really the biggest turnoff, as I think it's a little expensive but overall, I'd without a doubt recommend PureVPN!

    I've been using purevpn for about a year now and they are definitely reliable and awesome!! No problems here. Definitely give them a try!


    A very good vpn!

    A very good vpn! Very fast and reliable! A++


    Jun 15, 2012 by Avery

    I'm a real fan of OpenVPN and was disappointed these guys didn't have it. Their support was a little slow when I tried getting a hold of them and their VPN software isn't as good as HideMyAss. However, they're a pretty decent VPN provider and I can see why their one of the best.
    I'll give them 3 stars for now.

    Always worked for me and the few times it didn’t, it was because the great Chinese firewall had caught it – but it was dealt with promptly and support was efficient and friendly.


    Hats Off, Best VPN Provider!!

    Jun 13, 2012 by Kelly

    Most Reliable VPN in China

    Jun 12, 2012 by Jo H

    Having been in China for many years I have tried lots of VPN services. Pure VPN is by far the best and most reliable, the service staff are outstanding, incredibly helpful and friendly. The best part of the service is remote assistance when the occasional problem occurs. I would and do recommend PureVPN to everyone, it is a stress free jargon free service that simply works (hope you meet Zeeq as you install….he is a star!)


    Best VPN Provider , USA 4.6 5.0 16 16 Purevpn is just what I was looking for. A true 5-star vpn provider, and provides you with a dedicated ip address. It's fast, reliable and allows me to do me job without any issues.
