That Wikipedia page was not very useful, but they also had a page
specific to PureVPN that was much better with details. It is Chinese
based. It comes out of Hong Kong! So at least for now, it is okay.
It sounds very well respected as a good VPN service. I hope Hong Kong
keeps its freedom for a few more years, and $70 for 2 years of service
still sounds like a great deal to me. If China does get nasty, my
loss would be trivial compared to the Honk Kong'ers.
See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Purevpn
