Checking out multiple test reports can help you understand more effectively how this VPN works in the long run.
- PureVPN Windows10 IKEv2 Test in China - April 7, 2021 - Today will be a test of the IKEv2 protocol in PureVPN's App in Windows 10. Before testing I checked the latest version of PureVPN and confirmed that 1.1.74.0 is currently the latest version in Win10. When checking its version, I found that the initial loading speed of PureVPN is quite long when opening, about 90 seconds, which is not a good experience for users. But then again, for mainland China users, being able to connect to the server successfully and securely is the most important thing.
- PureVPN Windows / Macbook IKEv2 Protocol Test in China - March 24, 2021, PureVPN will be tested again in Windows 10 and Macbook for mainland China. It's been 9 days since the last test, and regular server connection tests for each VPN are a must to understand how a VPN actually works in mainland China. The PureVPN App in this test is the international common version, the protocol which is using IKEv2, I hope that this test will let you know its real usage in China region.
- PureVPN Windows10 IKEv2 Test in China - March 15, 2021, I can't believe I forgot to test PureVPN recently. After looking at the last test of PureVPN which actually stopped on March 1, today I will once again test PureVPN in mainland China, and the test will use the IKEv2 protocol to connect. The choice of servers was randomly selected, as PureVPN officially does not specify which servers are suitable for mainland China. Hopefully, such a test will provide some reference for readers during their usage.
- PureVPN Win/iPhone/Mac Test in China - March 1, 2021 test, today is the second test of PureVPN after the big upgrade, this test I will test PureVPN in Windows, iPhone, Macbook three devices using IKEv2 connection protocol, the test to Windows mainly, iPhone and Macbook as a supplement. An overall look at PureVPN's APP connection to different devices in mainland China. As there is no Android device in hand, I can't test it. I hope PureVPN for Android can provide some usage and experience sharing in the comment section.
- Win10 PureVPN Test in China–20210203 - It's been a long time since I've looked at PureVPN in Windows 10 for testing, and when I intended to test this VPN again and stick to its latest version, I found that its UI has sent a radical change. This interface really looks so much better than the previous one. In the new version... In terms of connection protocols Windows 10 currently supports IKEv2, TCP, UDP, the latest version number is 1.1.74.0, in this version in addition to the previous manual Ping server function, it will automatically load the Ping feedback time. The following figure shows the left side of the main login interface, the right figure is the server selection interface. Okay, let's start testing!

PureVPN Chrome Extension in China; Version: 4.8.1
Test Note: The first server tested in the figure below is the U.S. server. In order to give readers a complete view of the state of PureVPN Browser Extensions after successful connection, I took a screenshot of the left one in the figure below, and then stitched it together with the right one (including time + SpeedTest) through PS to show you. This is very inefficient, and you can actually see which region’s server is connected from the red circle I drew along the way. From the second server test onwards I will omit the screenshot of the server connected after the left one, so that I do not need to stitch it together via PS, and will directly show the right side: Time + SpeedTest + the red circle of the flag at the top to illustrate the solution screenshot. Where SpeedTest speed test is also used in the form of Chrome browser plug-in for speed testing.
When you need to select or switch servers, first click “Disconnect” in the first picture on the left, then click “Select Country”, and then many servers will be displayed, click one of them according to your needs. Then you can connect. The servers I tested below are randomly selected.

Win10+Chrome extension test summary: I randomly selected a total of 17 servers for testing, two servers showed Failed in the test. two of my biggest impressions of PureVPN in Chrome extension, the first is its server connection success rate is very high, and the second is the Time efficiency is very short. The second is that the time efficiency is very short. This is still a great user experience. The disadvantage is also there, that is, most servers are not fast enough. I test the speed of Internet users through the browser plug-in SpeedTest, and at the same time, in order to verify whether I can open YouTube and Google normally, I will refresh the web page after the server is successfully connected, in fact, there is already an indicator in the SpeedTest tool to show the speed of YouTube. For example, for the last UK server, there is a “3.52 sec” value at the bottom of SpeedTest, which means that when I open or refresh the YouTube home page, the entire page is completely loaded in seconds, according to which you can compare For reference, see which servers have the better speed for YouTube in the above speed test.

Today’s Test in Chrome Extension Score: ★ ★ ★ ☆
PureVPN Firefox Extension Test in China; Version: 3.8.2
In Firefox I will use YouTube connection speed for the speed test so that readers can get an idea of the speed metrics of the PureVPN browser extension through different speed measurement channels. More servers have been tested in Chrome in the past, so in Firefox I will randomly choose to test 5 servers. The flag symbol in the upper right corner of the screenshot indicates the region to which the server is connected.
South Korea:First success. (Time efficiency: <5s)
YouTube connection speed: 6553Kbps;
Japan:First success. (Time efficiency: <5s)
YouTube connection speed: 140Kbps;
Canada:First success. (Time efficiency: <5s)
YouTube connection speed: 87Kbps;

YouTube connection speed: 131Kbps;
United Kingdom:First success. (Time efficiency: <5s)
YouTube connection speed: 291Kbps;
Taiwan:First success. (Time efficiency: <5s)
YouTube connection speed: 89Kbps;
Win10+Firefox Extended Test Summary: I tested PureVPN’s browser plug-in through Firefox, and the connection success rate was quite high, but the speed was not ideal. Only one server in South Korea looked okay. This may be related to Firefox’s browser kernel. If you wish to achieve internal and external network streaming through two browsers, I recommend using Chrome to configure PureVPN’s external network.
Best server in Firefox:
- South Korea:First success. (Time efficiency: <5s)
YouTube connection speed: 6553Kbps;
Today’s Test in Firefox score: ★ ★
PureVPN Edge Extension Test in China; Version: 3.8.2
In the Microsoft Edge browser I will use YouTube connection speed for the speed test, randomly selecting 5 servers for testing. The flag symbol in the upper right corner of the screenshot indicates the region to which the server is connected.
South Korea:First success. (Time efficiency: <5s)
YouTube connection speed: 10559Kbps; (The time screenshot is not accurate, the page is not refreshed)
Unitd Kingdom:First success. (Time efficiency: <5s)

YouTube connection speed: 44Kbps;
Win10+Edge extension test summary: Edge’s situation is similar to Firefox’s, but in terms of browser use I think Edge is a bit smoother than Firefox. firefox browser is too bloated, whether in Windows or Macbook Pro I use this feeling. From the above 3 browser test results, PureVPN browser plug-in to connect the biggest problem is that the server connection after the speed is too poor.
One of the biggest benefits of the PureVPN browser plug-in connection is that it is a local area connection. When you use a particular browser to make a VPN connection, no other software or other browsers in your device will go through the VPN traffic. This allows for a good balance between the Chinese network and the overseas network. Although most servers have poor speed, but I just tested some random servers, there may be some servers with good speed may not be. I think this plug-in wall can be a supplement.
Also I tested SurfsharkVPN, IvacyVPN, NordVPN and a few others yesterday and their browser plugins are not available to connect to servers in China. There is also ExpressVPN’s browser plug-in is able to connect successfully, but its situation is different from PureVPN’s. ExpressVPN will achieve full device all software using VPN traffic even if it connects to the server through the browser plug-in. However, it has a streaming function for Win and Mac, you can set it up by yourself, if not, you can refer to this Chinese version of the tutorial for detailed instructions: ExpressVPN China wall in the end how.
Lastly, the Macbook, which I tested privately, can also be connected to the server through the PureVPN browser extension plug-in, but how fast I have not tested specifically.
