The Walkthrough

Step 1: Sign Up for PureVPN

What to do: Go to PureVPN and choose a plan. The 2-year plan is the best value. Create your account and download the app for your computer and phone.

Why you’re doing it: A VPN creates an encrypted tunnel between your device and the internet. Even on public Wi-Fi, nobody can see what you’re doing — not hackers, not the coffee shop, nobody.

What to expect: 5 minutes for signup. The app downloads and installs in under a minute on any device.


Step 2: Install on All Business Devices

What to do: Install PureVPN on every device you use for business: laptop, phone, and tablet. Most plans cover 10+ devices simultaneously.

Why you’re doing it: Your security is only as strong as your weakest device. If your laptop is protected but your phone isn’t, anyone on the same Wi-Fi can intercept data from your phone.

What to expect: 2 minutes per device. The app is available for Windows, Mac, iOS, Android, and browser extensions.


Step 3: Connect and Forget

What to do: Open PureVPN, tap “Connect.” Choose “Fastest Server” for everyday use. Enable the auto-connect feature so the VPN activates every time you go online.

Why you’re doing it: A VPN only works when it’s on. Auto-connect means you never forget to protect yourself, even when you’re in a rush.

What to expect: Connection takes 2–3 seconds. You won’t notice any difference in your browsing speed for most activities.

Common mistakes: Turning off the VPN because a website loads slowly. If a specific site has issues, use split tunneling (in PureVPN settings) to exclude that site while keeping everything else protected.

What to Do If It Doesn’t Work

  • Slow internet while connected: Switch to a closer server location in the app. Or use the “Fastest Server” option.
  • Can’t access a specific website: Some sites block VPN traffic. Use split tunneling to route that specific site outside the VPN.
