About PureVPN

PureVPN is a long-running commercial VPN operated by GZ Systems. It competes mostly on price, with very cheap multi-year deals, and on bundles that add a tracker blocker, password manager, data removal and dark web monitoring to the VPN. The network is large, with thousands of servers, and the service has had its no-logs policy audited in recent years. Features include WireGuard, a kill switch, split tunnelling, port forwarding as an add-on, and dedicated IPs. Up to ten devices can be connected at once. The apps are functional though less polished than the market leaders, and plan names and add-ons change often. Pricing is subscription based with a 31-day money-back guarantee, and renewals cost more than the introductory rate. Apps cover Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, Android, browser extensions, Apple TV and Fire Stick. It suits bargain hunters who want a VPN plus a handful of extras on one bill.

Best for: Bargain hunters who want a VPN bundled with other privacy extras.
