Compared to a VPN like Private Internet Access, which has had its no logs claims proven after server seizures, PureVPN has some catching up to do. Plausible deniability is not the same as a strictly zero logs guarantee. Instead, each activity can be linked to a pool of users which gives the users plausible deniability.” “…we rely on obscurity to reduce the chances of linking a user with a specific activity. PureVPN played down the risk to privacy with the suggestion that your activity is linked to a pool of users, not an individual. When we asked PureVPN why it considers this data important and whether it runs the risk of exposing users, we were told it was for the benefit of customer experience and strong connectivity. Total bandwidth consumed (but not calculated per session)Ĭompared to top no-logs VPNs like NordVPN and Private Internet Access, this is a lot of unnecessary information to be logged.Your internet service provider (ISP) (but not your personal IP or exact location).How long you connect for (but not the specific times).VPN server location (but not the exact server).Days you connect to PureVPN (but not the exact time).Read on to see what our in-depth tests reveal about PureVPN. On the plus side, HBO Max is currently working and PureVPN is good for British TV, able to unblock BBC iPlayer and ITV Player with ease. Fans of DAZN can use PureVPN to stream sports, too.īest of all, you can expect fast local and long-distance speeds across a large and high quality server network we recorded local speeds of 95Mbps, which is barely any speed loss compared to our normal internet connection. It also fails to unblock other US streaming services like Hulu and Amazon Prime Video and there’s no smart DNS. Currently, it unblocks 4 Netflix libraries, but not the US one. PureVPN is nowhere near the level of the best VPNs for streaming or for torrenting. While it’s mostly safe, thanks to AES-256 encryption, best-in-class protocols like WireGuard and OpenVPN (UDP & TCP), and a BVI jurisdiction, PureVPN is not completely watertight – we discovered some leaks when testing its kill switch and we have concerns surrounding its logging policy. PureVPN is popular and cheap but it’s still lagging behind the very best VPNs.
