    Hello,
    I just installed this new version of your app but it is not listed in the installed apps. I need a file explorer to access to it and launch it. Besides, it is in portrait mode, and there is no landscape mode so not very useful on a TV set.

        • PureVPN Team says:

          Sure, we will help you setup your Router so you can access your LG smart tv but unfortunately, we have not tested PureVPN on Huawei router yet, so you need to sends us screenshots of your Router’s wan settings page at [email protected] and then we can send you setup instructions accordingly.

      Have you make it work? It run in my tv (it puts the screen sideways) but I cannot select the Login option, just sign up.

    • Fujisan says:

      Hello,
      just installed that version of purevpn but it does not appear in the installed apps. I need a file explorer to get to the purevpn app and launch it. Besides, there is only portrait mode, no landscape mode. So not very useful on a TV set. and I don’t know if it is using openvpn or pptp.
