PureVPN

About PureVPN

PureVPN is a consumer VPN service registered in the British Virgin Islands, a jurisdiction that sits outside the 5/9/14 Eyes intelligence-sharing arrangements and carries no mandatory data-retention laws — which is why we rate its jurisdiction as "very good" (Tier 1). That legal footing is one of the clearer marks in PureVPN's favour, so it's worth being precise about the rest.

The documented feature set includes a no-logs policy, a kill switch, a dedicated IP option and port forwarding. Two of those points deserve context. First, PureVPN's privacy history is genuinely mixed: it has a documented past that weighed on its reputation, and that history is part of why our privacy sub-score sits at 74 rather than higher. Second — and this is the more current fact — the service has been independently audited, which is the kind of third-party evidence that matters more than any marketing claim. The combination of a solid jurisdiction, a stated no-logs policy and a recent audit is what lifts the overall Scout Score to 78.

On pricing, here is exactly what the official plans show. The 2-Year plan (with 3 months free) runs an introductory $2.15/mo, billed as $58.20, and renews at $4.00/mo. The 1-Year plan (with 4 months free) is an introductory $2.55/mo, billed $40.80, renewing at $4.83/mo. The 1-Month plan is $12.95/mo flat. As always, the intro rate is a first-term hook — the renewal figures are the number to budget around. A 31-day money-back window applies.

On performance: we do not run a speed lab, so I won't invent throughput numbers or benchmark rankings. Where those aren't backed by published third-party tests they stay unverified, and our score reflects documented evidence rather than in-house measurements — see our scoring methodology for how each dimension is weighted.

Who it fits: users who want a BVI-based provider with an audit on record, plus practical extras like a dedicated IP and port forwarding, at a low multi-year entry price. Who should skip it: anyone for whom a spotless historical privacy record is non-negotiable, or who wants month-to-month flexibility without paying the premium single-month rate.
