PureVPN in China
PureVPN – There's really no question about it – you don't need to get this VPN, especially if you're in China. There are a number of problems with PureVPN. I'll admit that I haven't tried it, but just from looking at their site, here are the problems I see.
Price. The cheapest plan is 10 dollars a month. For this *limited* plan, you are limited to 30 GB a month. This shouldn't be a problem for most users, but if you're doing some serious downloading – which a lot of people do with VPNs (I'm assuming to avoid authorities) – 30 GB of download per month should be plenty. Buy why limit yourself? There are services out there for the same price or cheaper that offer unlimited bandwidth.
Types of VPN. All VPN plans are limited to PPTP L2TP and SSTP. For users in China, PPTP and L2TP are for the most part, out of the picture. SSTP is only for Windows 7 and Vista users. That means that Mac, Linux, iPhone, iPad, Windows XP, and Android users are out of luck. Ok, if you're running Windows 7 or Vista, you've got another possible VPN services with PureVPN, but why use SSTP when you could just as easily get SSL/OpenVPN? SSL/OpenVPN is compatible with Windows 7, and this is the most secure VPN protocol.
