PureVPN vs VPNgate: Which VPN Should You Pick in 2025?

While they will absolutely throttle p2p in most servers, it's easy to find and log into the p2p server... s. They responded promptly when I had questions (although once it was basically to say "sorry, tough luck"). Overall though, I think I paid something like $20 for a year's subscription - I really can't complain. I'm sold on the service, although I think the fact that it's based out of HK is a bit spooky. 9/10More

’ve consciously paid for PureVPN’s services exactly twice in my life—both times when I actually needed...  a VPN for work. One payment was made in 2022, the other in 2023. When I paid in 2023, the company—at its own discretion—gave me a second, different username and deactivated the one I’d paid for in 2022. I figured that’s just how their system works. Fast forward to 2025, and now I’m unemployed, counting every cent just to survive. Without any prior notice about a subscription renewal or upcoming charge, the company billed me on April 2. ✅ A bunch of spam emails about services I don’t need? YES! ✖️ At least one email a few days ahead to say they’d charge my card? NOPE. On April 3, after I noticed the charge, I contacted them immediately to say I didn’t want the service. They replied that recurring charges are non-refundable. Later that same day, I noticed a second charge from them. Turns out, they reactivated both usernames—from 2022 and 2023. I’ve never needed two VPN accounts. I’ve never used two. I reached out again—same copy-paste customer service response. On top of that - there is no clear, distinguishable way to delete a payment method from their website, and the way it visualizes payment history is intentionally made to be very misleading. Who knows, maybe next week they’ll decide I need a third or fourth VPN account. Luckily, they already drained my balance down to €5, so there’s not much left for them to steal—at least until my bank processes the chargeback. Their actual service quality? Meh. You’ll run into issues here and there. But in a market full of legitimate VPN providers, my advice is: STAY AWAY FROM THESE SCAMMERS. There are definitely providers out there with more ethical and transparent billing practices, offering similar (if not better) service for the same price.More
