    Hi,

    Thanks for reaching out. If your Router offers either PPTP or OpenVPN then PureVPN should work fine.

    Hope this answers your query, let us know if you need further assistance!

    Hi,

    I apologies for the inconvenience. I would suggest you to change your router’s DNS to 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 and let me know if it works out!

    Yes, the IP addresses I tried worked. It’s my laptop registry containing corrupted winsocket information. It works fine when I tested the connection with a tablet.
    Thanks
