I'm looking at a c/net thing about running Google Earth Pro for free on "PC or Mac". No option for Linux. OK, but what about Goggle's own PC operating system (OS) Chrome OS, which runs on Chromebooks?
It's pretty much fill-in-the-blank does not run on Chrome OS. I recently cancelled subscriptions to streaming video services for NBA League Pass and mlb.tv because neither runs on Chrome OS.
How the heck can that be?
Development stuff does not run on Chrome OS. If you want to set up an environment to write and test programs, including those that run on Chrome OS or Google's tablet/smartphone Android OS, as far as I know that cannot be done on Chrome OS.
What the heck?

purevpn failed on three PCs, worked on Android tablet.
purevpn now finally connects on my Android 5 Nexus 7 tablet and even stays connected all day using "any" location, which goes to Atlanta each time. I'm in New York. Able to break NBA blackout and see the Knicks!
purevpn drops connection on Windows 7 (with various protocols and locations) and both my Chromebooks to fixed locations: Miami and LA. Chromebook connections last less than 30 minutes. No useful notification that the connection dropped.
purevpn sponsored router from flashrouter.com failed to run streaming video of NBA games using Roku 3 box. Router returned. flashrouter support absurd.

purevpn support tries but seems to just follow a script.
unlocator.com - did not work
Both purevpn and unlocator are too concerned about movies and not sports. A movie starts and if it stops, just start again. Live sports cannot be viewed that way. They are missing a big boat, especially concerning the local blackouts of the NBA and MLB.

purevpn Android app shows itself connected when it is not.
Update from end of previous post:
Alert: I got suspicious and checked my Android tablet several hours later. The purevpn app still shows me connected ... to Atlanta with a non-New York IP. However:
- There is no VPN created among connections
- in the browser: wimi.com: What'sIsMyIP: 192.69.251.194 Same as in WiFi menu.
Does the purevpn Android app shows itself connected when it is not?
https://ipdb.at/ip/192.69.251.194
Nothing found for 192.69.251.194
On the other hand, my tablet is showing the New York Knicks replay, which should be blacked out in NBA League Pass.

Thanks. On Windows I switched protocols. That didn't seem to matter. Another purevpn support person suggested that I disable my firewalls for diagnostic purposes. I refused. That seems out of the question, especially given the nature of the service that you provide.
I am using the Verizon FIOS router.
I do not know where the Chrome OS firewall is, even if I wanted to disable it, which I do not.
You must have a log of my connections and disconnects and the servers and protocols.

I do not know how to disable the Chrome OS firewall but do not want to do it. Since Windows has the had the problem the most times, it does not seem as if the OS firewall is the problem.

You may simply disable the firewall of your router then try and check
Kenneth Matinale 02:43:38 pm
The connection dropped during a purevpn chat. That's all I was doing.
I'm not fooling with my router.
I'll try at other locations but my guess is that the problem will persist.
If a router firewall can cause disconnects, the purevpn service does not seem very robust.
By the way, I had the flashrouter.com router for two days plugged into the Verizon router and had disconnections. flashrouter failed at streaming video of NBA games through a Roku box, which was the main reason I bought it. I then returned it.
I think we're done. Anything else?

My VPN disconnects after every few minutes. What should I do?
There are multiple reasons which may cause the disconnection like:
1-Switching the Protocol: If you are experiencing disconnection issues, then change over between the protocols, i.e. PPTP, L2TP, SSTP and OpenVPN. Mostly, disconnection issues are broken up by switching the protocols.
2-Firewall: If switching protocols doesn’t help then check Router / Windows / 3rd Party Firewall settings. Disable your firewalls at first, temporarily and try again. Sometimes router firewalls cause the disconnection problems and internet activity issues because WiFi routers usually grind the VPN to a stop after a few minutes of use, plainly because they can’t keep up with SPI / Firewall turned on.
3-Mobile Credentials: Likewise, you may face disconnection issue if you use Mobile account credentials (username/password) on PC / Mac / Router etc. Mobile account doesn't cover PC / Mac / Router etc and only supports Mobile and Tablet.
4-Internet Connection: If you still face disconnection issues after switching between protocols and turning off firewalls, you have to check your network. If there is any glitch in your internet connection, you may have disconnection issues in such scenarios as well.

purevpn connects Chromebooks ... until they disconnect.
Yesterday connected two Chromebooks purevpn. It seemed easier than using the Windows program and having the program inform me, sort of, that the connection had dropped. The problem in Windows was that the connection dropped.
Same on a Chromebook running Google's Chrome OS. They seemed to be working OK, except the connection would drop.
Overnight Google updated the Android 5 OS on my Nexus tablet. I'll find out whether I can finally get purevpn to work on that tablet.

However, if I close the program you display a message at the bottom of my screen stating that it is still running. What the heck?

In order to close the software you will have to right click the PureVPN software from the system tray and then exit it from there.

Business opportunity: beat the sports blackouts.
Maybe such a service or product already exists but I have not seen it yet. Both of these failed miserably:
unlocator.com
purevpn.com
Cruise back through recent posts to wallow in details but the basic problems were:
- they do not work, certainly not consistently
- they do not address the sports blackout in the USA.
Here's what can make money for someone:
- address specific U.S. sports: NCAA basketball tournament, NBA, MLB.
- let the user specify his (it's going to be guys almost exclusively) home market.
For instance, here in New York Major League Baseball (MLB) with it's mlb.tv streaming video package will blackout the Yankees and Mets. If I'm willing to pay for a subscription to mlb.tv, why wouldn't I just subscribe to MLB Extra Innings, its TV version. Two basic reasons, which also apply to the NBA (don't know about NCAA):
1. MLB Extra Innings package: many channels NOT HD. Wednesday, March 4, 2015
2. using the Internet version of the sports package, the user has the possibility to cut some of the cord and downgrade from an outrageously overpriced TV package to something less expensive or to nothing.
Most of the cord cutting stuff that's written seems geared towards beings from outer space who have no interest in sports. The big boom in TV viewing is not movies but live sports. That's what drives up the money, it's from those huge TV contracts. The sports leagues receive mega money. Then much of the cost is spread to "cable" customers, especially to pay for ESPN whether they watch it or not.
Currently to get the local sports teams from Verizon FIOS I must subscribe to a combo of HBO and Showtime, which, if I'm lucky, provide maybe one watchable movie a month. I'd rather dump them both and pay less but I cannot without losing the New York teams. I could if I switched to Cablevision and I tried that but the Cablevision installer insisted on performing his installation in a town in which I did not live, so after a full day of consternation I cancelled my order even though it would have been $30 less per month than Verizon. At least Verizon could keep track of where I lived.
That's when I started looking at alternatives and tried subscribing to the packages that provided all the games for the NBA and MLB, but which unfortunately, black out the local teams. You can see how this circle was formed.
So come on. How about some semi-smart person using the existing, though far from perfect, technology being wasted by the services mentioned at the top of this post? Those services apparently cater to paranoid people, not red blooded American guys who don't really worry so much about their messages being read but who want their sports provided their way.

purevpn fails again to beat the blackout.
I started the ABC option as recommended by purevpn during a "chat" documented in the previous post, which should invoke the Oscar option, which should have me seem to be in LA. However, the Knicks game, which happens to be in LA, is blacked out. Of course in the ten minutes I tried this the first connection failed and I had start over again.

purevpn - reconnected with max security but NOT web protected.
Reconnected.
Protocol: Automatic
Purpose: Maximum Anonymity/Security
Prefered country: Canada (USA not an option)
Web Protection: Inactive
In red. The purevpn Windows program states in red that my web protection is inactive. This is immediately after and continuing after I connected with its max security. What the heck is that?
The connection is up six minutes as I post this. Bye.
