purevpn log and suggestions to improve its Windows program.

purevpn.com

Show the protocol, especially when connection is set to automatic.

Make your log accessible.  I stumbled onto it under "Support & Packages".  Why is it there?

Yesterday morning:

03/10/2015 10:13:16 Connection lost to usny.pointtoserver.com
03/10/2015 09:32:22 Connected to usny.pointtoserver.com with PPTP Protocol
03/10/2015 09:21:15 Connection lost to usny.pointtoserver.com
03/10/2015 08:10:02 Connected to usny.pointtoserver.com with PPTP Protocol

What the heck is that?  In Window 7.

Then in the afternoon:

03/10/2015 18:01:59 Connection lost to vlsa-ussf.pointtoserver.com
03/10/2015 17:58:20 Connected to vlsa-ussf.pointtoserver.com with PPTP Protocol
03/10/2015 17:27:29 Connection lost to usny.pointtoserver.com
03/10/2015 16:31:48 Connected to usny.pointtoserver.com with PPTP Protocol
03/10/2015 16:25:14 Connection lost to hulu.pointtoserver.com
03/10/2015 16:24:13 Connected to hulu.pointtoserver.com with L2TP Protocol
03/10/2015 15:21:00 Connection lost to usny.pointtoserver.com
03/10/2015 15:10:03 Connected to usny.pointtoserver.com with PPTP Protocol

Notice usny in the server URL.  When choosing US fastest it makes sense that purevpn would connect to the closest. However, that will probably not break the sports blackout for the local area.  purevpn still does not have a selection for MLB or NBA.  Both block local games and nationally televised games.

Come on.
