About us

PureVPN is a premium VPN service provider. As one of the first movers in the cybersecurity network, we provide you with the tools, services and knowledge to be the best version of yourself online

How it started

PureVPN was launched in 2006 with few resources and a dream. Young and newly-graduated Uzair, Umair, and Aqib began working on commercializing a product they created in their free time

This was the foundation of their vision – empowering people to use the internet the way it was meant to be used.

From two people working together in a small room of a house, today we are proud of being home to hundreds of brilliant minds working tirelessly to ensure that PureVPN’s legacy goes down in history as a great example that all you need to be successful is an idea and a dream.

OUR MISSION

Our goal is to help you unlock the joys of an open, safe and private internet. We do this by making freedoms accessible through experiences that are secure by default, private by consent and powered by sustainable connections
