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 Browser Extension in China-20210105 - This test to thank readers @Jim Burt on PureVPN browser extension plug-in in China VPN use to share: PureVPN is available for Google and Firefox browser plug-in, where login purevpn can use most servers, and excellent speed, but also stable not to drop, while this feature can achieve a browser local connection VPN traffic a The function. I will use Windows as the test platform today for Google Chrome, Firefox, Microsoft Edge, in addition to the use of Chrome kernel browser can also be universal such as Brave. Whether both devices can access overseas websites through browser plug-ins for users in mainland China.

Windows Summary: The above connection test was conducted on PureVPN’s International Universal App in Windows 10. A total of 18 servers were randomly selected, and 13 of them were successfully connected. After the test, I feel that the success rate of VPN servers in the Americas and Europe is higher, while those in Asia seem to be lower. It is gratifying to see that all the successful servers have good YouTube connection speed, most of them can reach 10000Kbps and above. It is worth noting that the download speed of SpeedTest test is poor, as to why there is a very good speed of YouTube, and SpeedTest download speed is very poor test results I do not understand, but the fact that the test results are so.

IOS/MacOS Summary: I tested a small sample of PureVPN servers using IKEv2 protocol in iPhone and Macbook above. I found that its connection success rate is lower than that of Windows, but it is not impossible to connect successfully, there are some servers that can be connected, and the speed of YouTube is good after successful connection. In addition I have not yet tested the Automatic protocol option for Windows, IOS, MacOS systematically, in IOS I have privately selected 4 servers in the US region at random to connect, and one of them connected successfully. What I can do is just a guide and reference, I hope you will not be limited by any comments or official suggestions, and try various protocols and different servers for connection attempts. If you are willing, please share your experience with more people by leaving a comment. Thank you!
