Pure VPN

PureVPN is a VPN with one of the most extensive networks in the category — over 6,500 servers in 88 countries — and a feature set that includes DDoS protection, dedicated IP and port forwarding available as an add-on, a rare feature among consumer VPNs.

PureVPN is a VPN service founded in 2007 in Hong Kong, with legal registration in the British Virgin Islands (a jurisdiction with no data retention requirements). The network counts over 6,500 servers in 88 countries, with options to choose the nearest server or one from a specific country to access geo-restricted content. Apps are available for Windows, macOS, Android, iOS, Chrome and Firefox extensions, routers and smart TVs, with simultaneous connections for 10 devices per subscription. Supported protocols include WireGuard, OpenVPN, IKEv2 and L2TP/IPSec, with Always-on VPN mode to ensure constant connection. Security features include AES-256 encryption, kill switch, DNS leak protection, split tunneling to exclude certain apps from the VPN, DDoS protection and a built-in ad blocker. PureVPN offers as optional add-ons a dedicated IP address — useful for gaming, remote access and accessing services that block shared VPN IPs — and port forwarding, a rare consumer VPN feature that allows access to devices behind the VPN.

For individuals wanting a VPN with a large server network, support for many devices and advanced features like dedicated IP and port forwarding, at a competitive price.

PureVPN has no free plan but offers a 31-day money-back guarantee. Prices drop significantly with longer commitments: the two-year plan starts at around $2.14 per month, the annual at around $3.74 and the monthly at $10.95. The base plan covers 10 simultaneous devices; higher plans add advanced privacy features. Dedicated IP and port forwarding are purchased as separate add-ons. Promotional prices at first purchase increase on renewal.
