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..

AVOID THIS VPN AT ALL COSTS.
This company has terrible support when you have connection issues. They have no respect for your time at all. I swear to God the following experience is true.
I have talked to 4 tech guys in the past week ( each time it took at least an hour to communicate) and none of them fixed my issue. Then I was told to seek help from a guy called Bill who seems a senior tech support. I tried to reach him on Monday and Tuesday but always told he was not available! I finally had a 3 hours remote session with him on Wed but he failed to solve my case. He told me come back during Thursday night, So I did but I was told he is not available again! I waited him 3 hours until midnight and gave him my email but never heard from him. I tried again on Friday morning and was told he will be available during the night. When I tried to reach him during the night, someone on the live chat said they cannot provide any further help! If that’s the case, why not tell me earlier but instead kept telling me to come to live chat for his help?

Easy to use
Works very well wherever I go, especially when I have to use apps usually blocked in certain countries. Allows me to access websites usually blocked outside of the US. Easy to use - no fuss. If one server cannot be connected, can easily changed to other servers. Can be used across all of my Apple devices. Not too expensive.

ZenVPN claims to be a fast and affordable VPN service that will protect your privacy and security online.
We put it to the test across multiple categories to find out how it really performs.
The provider doesn’t disclose the number of servers in the network, but multiple servers are available in 30+ countries around the world.

No problems at all.
Been using ZenVPN for about a year and find it's reliable. I skipped their own app due to its limitations, rather downloading my OpenVPN configuration file from the settings page, and I use the OpenVPN app instead. On my Android I have setup the built-in vpn using my personal connection details.
All in all, I think connection speeds are great and it's a straight forward system to use.

Came with a pretty annoying uninstallable add-on
Since installing ZenVPN my starting page in my browser changed and I then uninstalled it, The starting page was the same, but showed a ZenVPN message saying I cant use it anymore with a link to customer service. Looking for other software on my computer and using a malware scanner didn't help.
Customer service then made one suggestion that didn't help, then another one and when that didn't help either suggested to just try it again, because that is how problems are solved. Searching the web and trying a bunch of different things didn't help either so I´m stuck with it until I re-install my entire system. Now I got a pretty effective reminder to never try ZenVPN again.
