Hello, could anyone here help me fix the disconnection problem? It was so annoying because I have to reconnect thousands of times when unlock my phone. The same problem in all devices from my Windows phone to iPhone and iPad. I did contact the team but they are not helpful in those stuff at all. They even told me would disable my acocunt permanently if I exceed over 200 sessions a day. But you see, I have no other options but to reconnect hundred times a day like that. Anyway, this is the worst feature of PureVPN.
Hey Luca, could you share with me how you fixed the disconnection problem? Sorry it was so annoying cause I have to reconnect manually everytime open my phone. Seems VPNteam are uselesss and they are not helpful at all.
We are sorry for the inconvenience. You are requested to disable all the settings from PureVPN app and exit completely from the system tray and task manager then open the app again as administrator and select the setting redial automatically. This should fix the issue.
Feel free to reach out if you still face any problem!

When I turn on any vpn at my school it automatically kicks me from the internet. So I have to turn off vpn then connect back to the wifi and turn vpn back on but it keeps disconnecting me from the wifi. Any suggestions the school wifi is open to anyone.
I use a server in Bahrain where the P2P is ok as per your list, I got several time (quite rare) automatic disconnection while P2P was running. why there is no automatic re-connection or at least a way to secure internet by blocking it. I paid for only a month in order to check the service before to buy a year, it is clearly a major issue.
how do i find how many connections i am useing ?

why is it that the windows app disconnects after 23h 59m 59 sec no matter what server you are connected to? I am having such huge issues with this. And i am running split tunneling so a manual connection is not viable. Please advise when this will be addressed.

Hi there, I’m using PureVPN on my iPad but it drops out every couple of minutes. I have closed down all P2P applications but I’m not sure how to switch protocol or servers – can you please advise how this is done?
Thanks,

Hi Maddy,

Because I try to connect my mac to a french server but it doesn’t want and said me that: “Impossible d’établir une connexion au serveur PPP. Essayez de vous reconnecter. Si le problème persiste, vérifiez vos réglages et contactez votre administrateur.”
& I use Purevpn App.
Thank you
VPN disconnect from iPhone strait after I shout down the screen. Do you have any solution to that?
Hi,
I am sorry for the inconvenience. I would suggest you to please check your system Power Settings and make sure that “Put the computer to sleep > Never” as it cause the disconnection.
Moreover, you are requested to check the auto-reconnect feature manually. Connect VPN from the Software then click on WiFi / Lan icon from system tray then disconnect VPN. Software will assume it disconnection and will attempt to reconnect. Please check and confirm.
You can also try to reinstall the client software from the mentioned below link then check and share the results with us:
https://s3.amazonaws.com/purevpn-dialer-assets/windows/app/purevpn_setup.exe
Let me know if it works out!
I already had put the computer to sleep > Never.
I re-downloaded from the link you gave me, I was using the latest version anyway but thought I would try it
I use an ethernet connection as I was wondering if my WiFi was causing the disconnects.
If I disable my ethernet adapter with Internet kill switch off it does try to auto reconnect
If I disable my ethernet adapter with Internet kill switch on it doesn’t try to reconnect
If I pull out the ethernet cord it doesn’t try to reconnect any time
When I forced a disconnect by downloading on another machine with internet kill switch off it did attempt to reconnect (but didn’t manage to, timeout maybe)
When Internet kill switch is on though it doesn’t attempt to reconnect.
It did disconnect about 4 times last night when no one is using the internet and you would think it would be a quiet time for the (euro) servers.
Do I need to change something in my Windows Firewall to allow it to dial again if internet kill switch is on?
Thanks
I get disconnected quite a lot, is this normal? One thing I noticed causing some of the disconnects is if someone on my network not connected to the vpn starts downloading it will pretty much disconnect the vpn after 30 seconds or so. However it is fine if someone is just watching Youtube etc. I use TCP OpenVPN type connection 128 bit encryption.
Another thing, I use a laptop with Windows 10 and the “Redial automatically if connection drops” doesn’t work. Is this a known Windows 10 bug or can I do something to fix it?
Hi,
I am sorry for the inconvenience. I would suggest you to switch between protocols and different VPN servers then check . Also if you have access to Wifi router of your office network then disable its firewall too, as router’s firewall causes disconnections in VPN connectivity.
Feel free to contact us if you still have any concern!
Hi, We connect our office vpn connection in our mobiles (Android and apple) but it is disconnecting after 10 minutes. Please advise.
hi purevpn team. when i want to conect at my acount and it s appear one errore, errore 647. i buy this acount 2 days ago for one month. where is the problem?
Fixed now. A recommendation is to use a different protocol. Is this just a matter of changing the protocol or is a different server name involved? It is a particular problem on IPAD and modifying settings is a bit cumbersome.
Hi Peter,
I apologies for the inconvenience, we have fixed the issue kindly check now.
Let me know if I can help you with anything else!
List above looks as if it shouldhave links behind it but nothing happens when I click the items
Hi Frederick,
Thanks for reaching out to us. You may check by switching between protocols and servers. Also please disable your router firewall.
Let me know it works out!
Hi,
1. I’m aware of the solutions above.
2. I don’t get disconnected, here’s the issue;
after increasing the data packet exchange to over a limit, just then, I face a 50% of packets loss thereafter, If any clue why it happens, it’s surely appreciated.
Hi David,
I apologies for the inconvenience. PureVPN or any VPN, for that matter, tends to slow down due to various factors but if you are facing un usual speed issues then I would request you to have a look at this tutorial to improve your speed https://support.purevpn.com/how-to-turbo-charge-your-vpn-speed
If you still face speed issues then let me know your operating system and purpose of using VPN, so I can assist you accordingly.
Thanks for understanding!
Why disconnect the connection automatically after 2 minutes
Hi,
I am sorry for the inconvenience. Can you kindly tell me on which device you are using PureVPN? And you are using our App Or manual connection? Kindly confirm these questions, so I can assist you in better way. I can still give you one advice which is to change protocols and see if your issue is resolved or not.
This is absurd. Followed every one of these suggestions and getting at best, absolute best maybe 700k download speeds when using I could get over 4MB, and the connection keeps cutting out using EVERY protocol. No difference at all.
Hi Alex,
I feel sorry your issue is still not resolved. I would request you to disable your firewall if you are connected with WiFi. I would also request your to try manual settings with different protocols If problem persist then please share your iOS version with me.
Hi Alex,
I am sorry for the inconvenience. Here are few suggestions:
– Switch protocols, try with different servers and see if it works.
In case, this does not work then:
– Configure PureVPN manually on your mobile, manual configuration settings can be found here https://support.purevpn.com/how-to-setup-purevpn-ios-app
Let me know if your issue is resolved or not!
Yes, i have tried all of that and it has made virtually no difference.
Hi Alex,
Thanks for reaching out to us. You can use mobile account only on mobile. If you want to use it on all platforms, you should use PC account. If you want to convert to PC account, you can cancel your mobile account from iTunes and place a new order for PC account.
Let me know if you need further help!

Hello,

Kind Regards,
Alex
Hi,
I am sorry for the inconvenience. Split tunneling does not cause disconnection issue, there must be some thing else. You can join us on live chat so we can find out what is causing it and we will help you sort it out.
Thanks for understanding!
What do I do if I am using the split tunneling feature? I have this enabled and running and my connection stops everyday. I have not yet timed it but it is still aggravating to say the least.
Hi Pascal,
I am really sorry for the inconvenience, i have personally discussed your problem with concerned dept, they have solved your issue. Please check your e-mail for confirmation.

Hello Pascal!
Good Day. In order to solve disconnection problem, please read this article https://support.purevpn.com/my-vpn-disconnects-after-every-few-minutes-what-should-i-do, hope this will help. And yes you need to have PC credentials if you want to use PureVPN on all devices because mobile credentials only work on mobile devices. If you want to buy PC account, you need to cancel Mobile account, then you can order PC account.
If you need any more help – you know where to find me! Have a great day 🙂
I have made many mails to your team about this problem, but whithout response anymore… I WANT to take a PC account, but I CAN’T cancel my Mobile account…… Could you, PLEASE, cancel my Mobile account ? Or, if possible, transfer it to a PC account ? Thanks a lot for your action……
Hello !
I see that mobile credentials are not adapted to PC connections… I have a premium acces with my mobile, for one year, and I will use it with my Pc too. Effectively, I have problems of disconnections with many servers; how can I solve this problem ? May I have a Pc account credential to use it with all my stuff (Pc, Android and Ios) ? And in this case, how to transfer my Mobile account to a Pc account ?
Thank you for your help… 😉
Best regards.
I’ve often found the best solution is changing protocols! Surely makes a hell of a difference in speed but then again you have to understand the level of encryption you desire…
We are glad that it worked for you. Let us know if you come across an issue in the future. We would love to help..
