  I bought PureVPN and connects to their servers in China. The service is very unstable, connection breaks up everyday and reconnecting to their server is sometimes impossible. Speed is very slow too, take ages to open web pages, streaming video is almost impossible.

    Is this not more a problem due to the great firewall rather than purevpn? My understanding was no vpns that provide true privacy work reliably in China?

  Ive had pureVPN for 2 yrs and it works well for me, I am on a 30mbps connection and still download around 2.5-2.8MB/sec ie it maxes my connection.

    Same here I get around 4mb/s from purevpn.
    Not perfect for all countries like China can be slow, but I thought generally people wanted to access internet which isn't restricted by the great china firewall.

      Lots of Chinese internet services block IP from outside China, eg. Xiaomi AI Assistant, Huawei Chinese App Store, QQ Music. That's why I bought PureVPN to access China. I also tried PureVPN inside China and I can't use it to bypass the great firewall. It looks like their servers are blocked in China. What do you guys use VPN for? Access US Netflix?

  I was constantly getting ipleaks with PureVPN, which kind of defeats the purpose of it. But when it worked, speeds were good

  @ragerma I'm also with PureVPN and never had an issue with them. I bought a 3 year plan, then resubscribed when they offered a rip-snorter 5 year plan.
  My connections to various countries have always been excellent. My main uses are torrents(legal ones only of course) and bypassing geo-blocks.
  Here's a couple of Ookla speed tests that I just did on PureVPN from Hong Kong and mainland China. Ookla speed test 1, Hong Kong, PureVPN 72.90Mbps download Ookla speed test 2, Hong Kong, PureVPN 88.39Mbps download Ookla speed test 1, China Guangdong, PureVPN 55.94Mbps download I have the old Optus cable 100/2Mbps upload download plan.
  Anyhow I'm really happy with PureVPN, as you can see from these Ookla speed tests that I did a few minutes ago I consistently get excellent speeds. I very rarely get dropouts. I sometimes try to connect to a server and it doesn't work but I just move onto the next one, as PureVPN has more than one server in many countries.

  The 5 year $59 plan is a better option.

    It’s $99 USD for me upon Paypal checkout, How? Do you mean $59 USD or Australian?

  I have a lifetime plan with them, always get max speeds and hundreds of servers to choose from.
  Now that every dick and harry bought NordVPN and PIA deal I've found that every site I visit requires additional captcha verification or straight out banned the ips. PureVPN works fine, for now.

  How soon do ShopBack reimburse the cash back?
  I bought a previous deal through Cashrewards and the cash back was ridiculously long - over 3 months (unacceptable in my opinion)

  While PureVPN does work, I find it very very slow. Most of that is probably because Australia's internet is very very slow anyway. I get about 10MB to their AU servers less to anywhere else.

  Be careful, your privacy could be at risk.

  Use only for bypassing geoblocks on streaming services.

  A recent court case in Massachusetts has once again proven that some VPN services with “zero log” policies are indeed keeping logs and handing this information over to authorities.

  Law enforcement vs “no logs”

  PureVPN was recently caught red-handed.
  The Department of Justice just published a complaint involving a cyberstalking case. The case involved a US resident who was allegedly stalking and harassing people while using PureVPN.
  The relevant section of the complaint appears at the bottom of page 22 …

  While it is difficult to determine exactly what details these “records” (logs) contained, it is clear that enough information was provided for law enforcement officials arrest the PureVPN user on cyberstalking charges.

  The FBI complaint above clearly appears to contradict the PureVPN privacy policy – notably this section here:

  https://restoreprivacy.com/vpn-logs-lies/

  On Reddit:

  Just a quick warning to everyone. PureVPN claims on their site that they keep no logs of your activity but in a recent case the FBI requested and got logs of activity from one of their users. Source - https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/cyberstalking-suspect-arrested-after-vpn-providers-shared-logs-with-the-fbi/

  https://amp.reddit.com/r/VPN/comments/74xd8i/pure_vpn_lies_a…

  PureVPN was caught logging customer data for the FBI. They've since been audited and claim to be a no-log VPN

  On Techspot

  https://www.techspot.com/amp/news/82259-keeping-private-5-vp…

  And plenty of other proof online (all you have to do is google it) that PureVPN has lied to their customers in the past, and while now they claim to be independently audited, should be approached with caution.
