Although there are many free VPNs on the market, there are actually many restrictions hidden behind the so-called free. The most common ones are limiting traffic and network speed. Internet security is also a major point that must be considered. Therefore, I personally recommend choosing a paid VPN. On the one hand, it is safe, on the other hand, there are many servers and the network speed is stable. Recently, the well-known foreign VPN service PureVPN launched “PureVPN” during the Lunar New Year.Spring Festival Promotion”, it is a very good time to buy it, with a super discount of up to 76%. For less than NT$100 per month, you can use more than 2,000 VPN servers and support up to 5 devices.
In addition, regarding VPN, many people may think that it is just about jumping out of China to use services such as FB and IG, or jumping into China to watch some region-limited videos. In fact, VPN can do more, and I will briefly explain it below.
What can I use a VPN for?
In most people’s minds, VPNs are almost all about getting out of/entering China. In fact, the reason why VPN services first appeared was for network security.
When you connect to a VPN server when surfing the Internet, your original real IP can be hidden and cannot be traced by interested parties. Top VPN services such as PureVPN will also encrypt your data with AES 256 to prevent your shopping payments from being peeped by hackers, thereby achieving a more secure Internet process.
VPN can also remove restrictions on regional content, such as watching NETFLIX-limited videos from the United States and Japan in Taiwan. Abroad, you can also watch Taiwan’s LINE TV and iQiyi, which are locked foreign online streaming video websites.
However, not every VPN service can lift regional content restrictions. PureVPN recommended in this article has no problem. In my actual test, it was not only successful, but also very fast.
Introduction to PureVPN
PureVPN is a VPN service company started in 2007. It provides more than 2,000 VPN secure servers in more than 180 countries/regions, and more than 300,000 anonymous IP locations. You can find available VPN servers almost everywhere in the world.
They are available in Taiwan, China, the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, France and other countries. One thing I like very much is that after opening this set, it will automatically measure the speed and arrange it according to the level of PING. The lower the number, the higher it is. This means that I can quickly find the most suitable server with the fastest network speed:
All countries currently available:
It supports most platforms, such as Windows, Mac, Linux, Android, and iOS. It also provides extension plug-ins for Chrome and Firefox, and can also be set directly on wireless routers. Compared with software, the advantage of a router is that you only need to set it up once, and all devices connected to the wireless router will automatically VPN, without downloading software:
I think this is great for home use, because not everyone is so familiar with 3C products, especially parents. You don’t need to teach them or download them. They will automatically be protected when they connect to the Internet.
It also provides simultaneous use of up to 5 devices. This number is considered high among all paid VPN services and is definitely enough for a family.
In addition to data protection, PureVPN also has a great feature: it has the “Internet Kill Switch” function. Even if the VPN connection is interrupted, your online privacy, security and anonymity will still continue and will not disappear.
It has also been verified by the no-log policy (No-Log Certified!). They will not track your Internet access process and will not retain any Internet activities, such as: connection logs, VPN IP you use, original IP, connection time, browsed websites, content or data, etc. You can use it with complete confidence without worrying about privacy infringement.Click me for detailed instructions：

Can PureVPN unblock regional content?
The PureVPN software interface provides multiple modes, one of which is “Streaming Media” specially designed for online video streaming. Using this can remove regional content restrictions. In my actual test, there was no problem:
The picture below is the latest Taiwan Netflix launch page:
The picture below is the latest online page after I VPN to the United States. Many are different, and there are also some new movies that I have not watched, such as: The Office, Park and Recreation. Free up your Netflix account immediately:
I am currently in Japan. If I use the Internet normally, I cannot watch the video when I enter Taiwan iQiyi. It will display “Due to copyright restrictions, it cannot be viewed in your region”:
After I VPN to the Taiwanese server, there is no problem and I can watch normally:
As for the Internet speed, my actual measurement is also very impressive. Before VPN, my Internet speed was 117.06Mbps for download and 9.71Mbps for upload:
After the VPN arrived in the United States (note that the second one on the lower left became Voonami, inc), the download performance still reached 101.57Mbps, and the upload speed also reached 9.15 Mbps, which was almost unaffected, and the actual viewing was also very smooth:
In addition to the above-mentioned Netflix and iQiyi, other online audio and video platforms such as Hulu, Disney+, Amazon Prime Video, HBO, and Kodi are basically no problem.
