Hi,
I was able to install the PureVPN apps (Android) from Google store and to run it and to connect with my PC account.
I’m able to choose one server and connect to it.
But what after that?
If I run Google Chrome and try “whatismyipaddress” this site shows me my Local IP and not the PureVPN IP.
On my PC when I run PureVPN and connect to one of server, and I run Google Chrome and ask “whatismyipaddress” this site show me the PureVPN IP.
So what the problem?
Does PureVPN android apps is just FAKE?

Thanks for reaching out. You are requested to enter IP address on “DNS search domains” field and enter “8.8.8.8” in “DNS servers” field thats about it.

Hello, I just manually setup the VPN and it works fine, however when trying to use the “always-on VPN” option Android tells me that it requires an IP address for both server and DNS. What shoud i use to fill thoses fields ?
Thank you
Hi Charlie,
Thanks for using PureVPN. We do understand and our users requirements and we are already working on this feature and hopefully this will be added in our iOS app in upcoming release. For Android app we do not have any releasing date yet.
Let us know if you have further questions, we will happy to assist you!
When is PurnVPN going to start supporting the android ‘Always On’ feature which automatically connects to a VPN when your phone connects to WiFi?
Not having it is just making me want to go back PIA’s VPN service as they support it, even though I brought 2 years with PureVPN.
For someone who wants to use androids built in VPN settings and connects to alot of public hotspots ITS NEEDED!
@Carlo Speed depends on various factors thats why we ask our users to try different protocols to get best speed, because you are not getting best speed on our app so we ask you to change protocol since our app supports only OpenVPN so in order to change protocols you need to try manual settings, if you are getting good speed on manual settings then it means that your ISP does not provide best speed on OpenVPN and you need to use other protocols manually.
Hope this answers your query!
So, the app is o longer useful, isn’t it?
Hi Carlo,
Thanks for reaching out. PureVPN Android app is working perfectly fine, above tutorial is for those users who prefer to use manual connection OR face any problem with our app. We would highly recommend you to use our app, it should work fine.
