PureVPN Halloween Special: 2 years subscription in the price of 1 (USD$60 in total)

Just checked their offer and seems worth posting here, if anyone is into it: https://www.purevpn.com/halloween
Happy Halloween!

Not bad. How do they compare to PIA? My sub runs out next month, and if pure is just as good I might as well get this and save a few bucks.

Well, I think pure has more servers than PIA. Plus, Pure also have more encryption protocols and VPN protocols. I am using it myself and it is pretty decent (I suppose it is as good as PIA, in fact better cause it has more servers and countries!)

I like to at least get input from a third party reviewer, In this case Torrent Freak. They have a 2016 list
Which VPN Services Take Your Anonymity Seriously?

For what it's worth, Pure is not reviewed.

Oh, thanks for this. I didn't check this though I did check these two reviews before posting it here:
PureVPN is rated "Excellent" with 9.1 / 10 on Trustpilot
PureVPN

Not sure why they are not in that list cause they seem to be among the good ones (big ones)

Good link. It's key what these vpn's track or don't track, and how they go about a DMCA order. I'm sticking with torguard.

But it sounds like they can't help the courts if someone is engaged in illegal activities. I have read Pure also doesn't keep logs. Keeping logs is bad but not keeping any is also bad? I'm a bit confused after reading it out about torgaurd in the link!

Why would they help the courts? If they could help the courts, then they would by definition have to track and log data which would defeat the point of this type of service in the first place.

Just assume EVERYONE keeps logs, because they do. Everyone. And stop doing shit that you wouldn't want logged.

Like not doing shit means you won't get tagged either for shit you never did. How many times have they gone after grandmas now? Dead ppl tool?

But Courts wouldn't be going for anything legal!

That is better to assume, cause going for illegal stuff even with any anonymous VPN isn't a good thing to do!

This circular questioning is lame ya.

May be you're right. I'll just let it be then!
