Whether you’re conscious about online security or just want to access overseas streaming services, a virtual network provider (VPN) is absolutely essential. VPNs, or virtual private networks, are becoming more popular as a means to keep internet browsing private. In normal internet use, your data flows from your computer, mobile device or home network across your ISP and during this journey all manner of people could be snooping on your data.

Potentially put you in the firing line of hackers and cyber criminals, and by effectively creating a secure connection between your computer and a VPN server, your actual IP address is hidden from snoopers. But VPNs have another trick up their sleeves: they can spoof your location, for unlocking specific regions websites such as Facebook in China or Netflix, Hulu and BBC iPlayer.

If there’s one basic, essential security feature that you should be using whenever you’re online — it’s a VPN. Picking Up the right one for increased privacy and unrestricted access on the internet grows, so do the amount of providers. It can be hard to sift through them all to find what the service you’re looking for. One of the fastest and most reliable options in Australia is PureVPN, which we recently shortlisted as a top five VPN provider of the year.

Lifehacker Researches and reviewed PureVPN as one of the Best VPNs services among the available options for users. While Speed, Service and price are taken into consideration here, one of the big questions that many are asking of their VPN providers is whether they offer the ability to unblock international Netflix libraries. While we’ve tried to come up with an accurate answer for each, keep in mind that there is an ongoing battle between Netflix and VPNs and what works today may not always work tomorrow.

PureVPN benefits from having an easy-to-use desktop client, Firefox and Chrome integration, super-competitive pricing and blazing fast speeds. It’s constantly ranked as one of the speediest VPNs available and if you’re a heavy downloader, this will be the VPN you’re after because download speeds don’t take a hit at all — in fact, they often improve.

Some PureVPN users report that access to US Netflix is spotty at best, although PureVPN claim that they are the best VPN to access the site. Ever since Netflix’s crackdown on VPNs last year, it’s been a little more difficult to get around that geoblock.

PureVPN’s pricing is usually pretty steep — as the adage goes, you get what you pay for. For a limited time, you have up to 80% off a range of PureVPN plans and pay as little as $1.91 per month. However, PureVPN do have a 31 day money back guarantee, so you can give them a whirl and if they aren’t providing you with the content you’re after, you’ll still be getting incredibly fast speeds.

PureVPN WiFi Security is one of the best security features to have in any VPN. This nifty feature automatically detects when you connect to an unrecognized WiFi network offers to secure your connection by turning on the VPN. This is a great way to ensure you never surf the internet on an insecure WiFi hotspot without the protection a VPN affords.

One of PureVPN’s biggest strengths is that it will unblock just about every streaming service known to humankind. This includes services such as BBC iPlayer and Netflix which bock IP ranges known to belong to VPN companies.

PureVPN can do this because (slightly confusingly) it offers two kinds of “dedicated IP address.” The first kind are IPs temporary created to access a particular event or online streaming service. So they are “dedicated” to that even or service, but are shared among many users.

PureVPN has all of the consumer-friendly features that VPN users need: it’s fast, comes with an easy-to-use desktop client, supports Chrome and Firefox and boasts guaranteed access to US version of Netflix. (Ever since Netflix’s global crackdown on VPNs, this isn’t always a sure thing.)
