Hi,
It seems you are having some issues running PureVPN on Chromebook, please let us know the exact problem so we may assist you in better way. And we have also noted down your request for an app.
No, it works fine. But, it’s too much like work to muck around with changing servers, especially when the Android app just lets you choose a country with one thumb tap. A sweet VPN is all about convenience, ease of use, and confidence in the provider. I guess 2 out of 3 isn’t bad. Though, all three points are all fair game for critic, but you’r not even trying on the first one.
@tom I am sorry for the inconvenience. I would request you to send us screenshots at [email protected] so we may assist you in better way.
Thanks for understanding!
Y’all seriously need a client app for Chromebook.
Could you please confirm whether purevpn is working with the latest chromebook update now? I’m looking to buy one but only if I can use purevpn with it. Thanks!
not working for me. I get a network error. It used to work but a chromebook update has changed the drop-down menu from ‘Private Network’ to ‘Openvpn’. Is this the issue?
