PureVPN is a commercial VPN service and a part of PureSquare.[1] It is owned by GZ Systems Ltd.[2] Founded in 2007, the company is based in the British Virgin Islands.[3]
PureVPN allows users to select from four categories: Stream, Internet Freedom, Security/Privacy, and File Sharing. The user's selection then determines which servers through which their traffic will be routed. PureVPN's 6,500 high-speed servers are located in 78 countries.[4] PureVPN requires users to provide their real names to use the service. It stores the day and the Internet service provider through which a user accesses the service but does not store the name of the website or actual time of access.
The service has been criticized for having inconsistent speeds,[5] being unable to access Netflix videos,[5] and having usability problems.[6] It has been praised for its feature set.[6][7]
