  • Click on the Subscription section.
  • Click on Configure.

In order to have a better understanding of all options. You can refer to its details below:

Enable All Ports: When this option is selected under settings. It allows all ports to be opened and you can transfer any data to any desired port.

Disable All Ports: When this option is selected under settings. It allows all ports to be blocked and doesn’t allow any internet traffic to be passed from the VPN connection.

Enable specific Ports: When this option is selected under settings. It allows ports to be blocked but makes a few exceptions in which you can allow a specific port or multiple ports to be opened as per desire.

Establish VPN Connection
  • Launch PureVPN app
  • Enter your PureVPN credentials and click login to your account

  • Click the location icon at the left panel of PureVPN App.
  • You’ll see list of locations. Select your desired location to connect.
  • You are now connected successfully.
Testing Port Forwarding
  • This is how to test Port Forwarding Add On:
    1. Download the TCP listener from this link
    2. Connect your VPN to any desired location. If you’re already connected to VPN, kindly disconnect it and then connect it, so the port settings may apply.
    3. Enter the port no# on the TCP listener app and then press the Listen Button.Now, open any listening site and check the status of the ports from there. (such as https://www.ipvoid.com/port-scan/).
Note:
a) VPN must be needed to reconnect after applying the PF setting.

c) Do not check the ports immediately after a connection. (Please allow a minute to apply ports settings on the server and then check the ports).
