Going to make a video on how to setup purevpn with TVpad4. Anybody got an account I could borrow for a few hours ?
If you do, please shoot me a PM.
I know there's refund available at purevpn, but there are restrictions on the refund condition.
Cheers -D

You have not used more than 500MB of bandwidth i.e. data transfer (total upload and download activity using PureVPN) or you have not exceeded 30 sessions i.e. the number of times you connected to PureVPN services. Whichever comes first.

You also mentioned their VPN require change of DNS, I checked the setup guide for OpenVPN for Tomato router but it didn't mention the requirement of changing DNS. Can you explain?
Thanks

But PureVPN won't work for me unless I change the DNS on TVP4 (Which is pain in the ass if you have 5.06firmware). Other VPN service, you just connect and TVP4 will work without need to change DNS.

I think the experience varies depending on your location, especially now the US region is restricted following the court case ruling.
I'm in Europe and use a VPN via a second router connected by ethernet to TVP4 5.06. I use a South Korean server with DNS on auto. Speeds aren't great, with 6Mbps down and <1Mbps up, but programmes stream OK.
Something strange happened though when I first set it up with the VPN router. The TVP4 decided to factory reset itself following VPN connection all on its own, but I was able to download and install all the apps from the TVP store. It's been working fine since that initial set up. I have also installed Kodi from an .apk on a usb drive using a file manager downloaded from the TVP store. One thing that is bugging me though is that the TVP4 is outputting in 720p instead of 1080p.
I also have a TVP m121 which is not routed via VPN but working fine on DNS 49.x.x.163.
Finally, this looks interesting for you folks in the US: https://www.sling.com/tvpad2
