Used it for a Month - Perfect

I've been using hotspot shield for about a month now. Very easy to connect and speed is amazing, Doesn't slow down any of my streaming, I used different vpns in the past and they all slowed down my internet speed.

PureVPN on RaspBerryPi + Auto connect on system start-up crontab

I’ve been facing huge problems with my new PI as a Non-technical user.. The ports were blocked no utilities were installed on my PI.. However, When the road ends for me I’ve asked their support to helpout with the PI. Vladimir Nabov was the one with brilliant Linux skills. He first made debian work forr my Pi then configured the VPN using a simply script with the Dedicated IP and it worked like a CHARM.. The challenge came when I asked if I can make it work when I turn on the PI. YES, Vladimir Nabov made the connection / script worked on PI using a crontab which worked like a CHARM .. IN a nutshell I never thought I could meet up my expectations but yes their support made it to work as per my expectations… This is a legit review based on my recent experience..

A great VPN service, definitely does the job

This VPN is very simple and user friendly, which I haven’t seen in many other VPN’s, and VPN’s like Privatix or MightyVPN send you these obstructive messages prompting you to turn the VPN on every five minutes, with this VPN it just sends you a simple and small message to notify you. If this VPN was free and unlimited, I would see this company thriving, But I guess there’s reasons why it can’t be free, the company needs money to maintain itself, maybe in the future they’ll expand and give the free users more data or unlimited data, But then that would make subscriptions worthless, as I am assigned. Anyways, overall this is a great VPN service, without it I wouldn’t have known that my own friends house WiFi was attacked, I would recommend this simple and easy to use VPN to anyone, although it’s not completely free, I would recommend subscribing for your mobile device, as I take my iPhone everywhere connecting to multiple networks, so this works best for me, and $1.95 a month won’t blow a hole in your wallet, as much as a cheap McDonald’s coffee.. I bet you didn’t read my entire review, have a nice day!

This program sucks. App store wouldn't let it open.

Absolute failure to launch. I spent time downloading, offering my credit card info for this 'free' app, and it wouldn't even open despite repeated clicks. I am looking for a free VPN that actually functions. This one didn't.

Terrible technical support. Paid extra for Dedicated IP but cannot connect to internet.

I decided to use PureVPN because of a magazine's review was positive. I will never rely on a magazine's rating because I think they are biased based on advertising. I have had login problems from the beginning of my subscription with them. They have a very mediocre support staff. They give incorrect login information and change your login credentials at their whim. They cannot seem to understand what the problem is. I paid extra for a dedicated IP address but had problems login in from the start. I would get a virus attack warning from my antivirus software whenever I used the dedicated IP mode. So I would use another mode so I wouldn't get the notice. They acted like it was my fault that it was happening but I knew that their server was compromised.I am also using PIA and have never had a problem with them. Do not use PureVPN.

Sleazy Company

Don't forget to cancel your subscription before your it is automatically renewed because they will not allow to cancel after they bill you. Horrible practice. There are better options with much better performance. The android app is very annoying.
