Also during testing, I skipped the Sweden server because every time I tested this server before I would get a popup! out of the account phenomenon. Due to the use of both YouTube connection Speed and SpeedTest Test it, might give you a more intuitive feel.

Also, I suggest you learn its manual configuration, the configured server can be contacted by IvacyVPN for the latest one, so it’s double insurance.

Summary: PureVPN was tested in Win10 today, and although the first few servers didn’t connect successfully, after that, it’s a good idea to test it out. The ones with larger Ping values have a higher connection success rate, and the speed is good. Of course, I didn’t test all the servers, in the order, it has a large number of servers I didn’t test, I just hope that It’s like throwing bricks and telling people about the use. Also, I suggest you must learn how to configure it manually.

Conclusion: SurfsharkVPN currently connects well over the wall in Windows 10, but today I can’t find the server in Taiwan after testing. Also, it works fine with iPhone, only in Mac I can’t connect, after opening the software I can’t see the local server. IP address, which should indicate that the software cannot connect to its server.
