PureVPN Review (October 2026)
A VPN with optional tools for more specific connection needs
Overall Rating

PureVPN covers the usual computer, phone, and TV needs, then offers extras for people who need more control. Its standard plan supports ten devices at once, and it has a native Apple TV app. For everyday browsing, you can start with the VPN itself.
Optional extras include a dedicated IP, which gives you an address reserved for you, and port forwarding, which lets certain incoming connections reach a device through the VPN. Those can be useful for particular setups, but most people do not need them just to browse.
For our first overall recommendation, see ExpressVPN.
Pros
- Native Apple TV app
- Ten standard simultaneous connections
- Dedicated IP and port-forwarding add-ons
Cons
- Specialized add-ons cost extra
Apps and devices
The standard allowance is ten simultaneous connections across supported devices. PureVPN has desktop, mobile, and Apple TV apps. Check the feature list for your device before buying an add-on, since the same controls are not available everywhere.
Security features
PureVPN supports WireGuard and offers a kill switch and split tunneling on supported platforms. The kill switch can stop traffic if the VPN drops; split tunneling lets you choose which apps use the VPN. A dedicated IP provides a consistent address, but does not automatically give you more privacy than a shared one.
Privacy
PureVPN says it does not log VPN activity. That does not mean it has no account or payment records. If you choose a dedicated IP, remember that you will keep using the same reserved address rather than sharing an address with other subscribers.
Everyday use
Start with a nearby server and try PureVPN with your normal apps and calls. If you plan to use port forwarding or a dedicated IP, check that the specific setup you need is supported before paying for it. Streaming access can change, and a VPN does not guarantee that every service will accept the connection.
Plans and pricing
PureVPN advertises a 31-day money-back guarantee. Add-ons and extra connection packages can raise the total, so review the complete order rather than just the headline VPN price. A low monthly equivalent on a long plan usually means paying the whole term upfront.
Should you choose it?
PureVPN is most appealing when you need one of its specific add-ons as well as a VPN. For a straightforward everyday setup, ExpressVPN remains our first recommendation. If you choose PureVPN, keep the initial package simple unless you already know why you need the extras.
