Today I’m going to test PureVPN’s app direct connection in Windows 10. The test is divided into two parts, first, I will test the “connection success rate”, “server connection aging”, and “server connection speed” on the first few servers. In order to test more servers, we will use the “server connection success rate” + “server connection aging” in the following server tests. In total, 47 servers were tested in this test. We hope this test will help you to climb over the wall.
Note: There will be a major firewall upgrade blocking event in late September – early October!
Barry: I’ve been hoping to convey a message to my readers that the firewall will be around for the foreseeable future; with it, using any VPN or other tool in China is a dynamic process and there’s no one-and-done solution. That’s why I keep updating the [Daily Test] section. The purpose of the test is to tell you the real usage of the changed VPN at the moment, whether it is available or not, and I will tell you so. In order to speed up the testing, I will be running only SpeedTest tests on it as it is only a reference for the speed test.

Checking out multiple test reports can help you understand more effectively how this VPN works in the long run.
- Best 4 VPN in China, OMG, Just only one! - On March 21, 2022, China VPN test will be conducted on a Windows 10 device today. The test VPNs include ExpressVPN, PureVPN, StrongVPN, and AtlasVPN. If there is enough time, we will test others. Each VPN will indicate its App version number, connection protocol and other information at the beginning before the test. As a result, the number of VPNs tested this time is large, so each VPN will usually randomly check 5-10 servers in different regions. If there are officially recommended servers, it will be explained in the test. If you have any questions, you can leave a message (anonymous) to communicate.
- PureVPN Win10 test in China – December 29, 2021 - 2021 December 29 China VPN Test, a server connection and speed test of PureVPN in Windows 10 devices will be conducted today. The latest version of the PureVPN App in the device has been checked prior to the test. The test connection was made using PureVPN's default Automatic protocol option.

- PureVPN Win/Mac and BBC iPlayer test in China - November 29, 2021 China VPN test, a test of PureVPN in Windows 10 devices will be conducted today. According to the results of the test on November 12 (last issue), PureVPN (version 8.0.3.2) has seen a lot of connectivity improvements in mainland China, which can almost be described as an explosion. This time PureVPN has a new version update, the upgraded version is 8.0.4.0. test before I also do not know the specific connection, let's review this VPN connection and speed through the real mainland China flip test it!

- PureVPN Last Version Win10 Test in China - September 16, 2021 China VPN test. It's been a month or so since the PureVPN report, and I just went to check out the new version 8.0.2.2 of PureVPN for Windows. I'm looking forward to the new version of PureVPN in China to see if the connection has changed, and I hope that this test will give a true picture of how PureVPN is actually used in the mainland. It's also worth noting that PureVPN's browser plug-in works well for those who only want a single browser to connect, rather than a global network connection, and those interested can try it out for themselves. If there is time I will also spot check the test.
- PureVPN Windows10 test in China-2021/8/9 - August 9, 2021 China VPN test, which will be conducted today on PureVPN in Windows 10 devices, will use the default automatic protocol for connectivity. The test was preceded by checking and updating its latest version to 8.0.1.7. The purpose of the test is to see how PureVPN currently connects in Windows devices in mainland China over time. Due to the dynamics of the Chinese firewall, the test will not help you understand how it will operate in the future. I will conduct the connection test while ensuring that it is true and valid, and whether the test results are good or bad, they will be listed as such for the reader's reference.
In the following tests, I’m going to use a term called “server connection aging”, which may not exist in the world, but is a term I came up with myself. It describes how long it takes from the moment I click on the server to connect to the server until the server shows a successful connection.

I want to test more servers to tell you how successful PureVPN’s App Direct connection is.

Summary: Judging from today’s test results, PureVPN currently has a pretty high success rate for direct app connection in Windows 10. If you encounter any problems, you can read this article: PureVPN Unable to Connect Solution (Chinese), and if you don’t find the answer you need in this article, you can leave me a message, I’m not omnipotent and can answer all your questions, but based on my long term testing and observations I may encounter more problems and solutions than you, so maybe I’ll give you a good suggestion. Also for those of you who use PureVPN, I would also recommend you learn its manual configuration of the flip wall solution.
