How to Watch Star Sports with PureVPN
UPDATE Sept 2016:- If you want to watch the premier league then you need to switch to Hotstar Premium as Star sports has moved the content. Here is a full guide: – Watch Premier League on Hotstar Premium but PureVPN still Works
Today I did a little experiment with PureVPN. You may know that PureVPN added some Pakistan Servers for the Cricket Word cup. In addition ,they also recently added 10 new Indian Servers. All of these are suitable for streaming Star Sports India.
But how did it work in practice? after a few false starts and an as yet incomplete test (as in I have not tested every one of the servers) I had some fantastic results.
Take a look at the screen shot below. Its been a while since I saw a crisp Star Sports stream like this. The screenshot was taken on my iPhone so doesn’t do it justice but see for yourself
Interestingly, the way I got this connection going, (and you will need to take my word that the picture was crystal clear) did involve a little bit of manual work. Thankfully there is a full guide available which I recreated here with specifics around the server I used to get this excellent result. I will also provide some other servers, but bear in mind you will need to subscribe to the PureVPN service to access these servers.
First things first, in order to continue you need to sign up to purevpn here
Access Star Sports with Pure VPN on iPad or iPhone
Step 1: Go to Settings
Step 2 Go to General
Step 3 go to VPN
Step 4 Go to Add VPN Configuration
Step 5 Go to PPTP
Step 6.
Insert in description “PureVPN PPTP”.
The server used for this test was star1.pointtoserver.com

Step 7
Remember enter the Description EXACTLY as shown “PurevpnPPTP” choose the server you require from the box in step 7

just download the PureVPN app. Don’t forget you need to sign in with a special username and password that is NOT the username and password you use to log into the site
Trying to figure out how to set this up on my android phone. Would love to watch star sports from Ireland & have purchased Pure VPN. Can’t seem to figure it out though. Any help would be really appreciated!
You shouldn’t need to use that if you update the pure VPN software. You can just choose from the drop down list then
Hey mate, which server is to be used to watch Star Sports India while creating VPN connection using PureVPN?
us94.purevpn.net (I am in US) or star1.pointtoserver.com???
Hi everyone. According to a reddit user earlier starsports are showing the EPL for free which is why no packages are available. The instructions at least work as I accessed the F1 packages just a couple of nights ago. Stay tuned for more confirmation. I think I will use PLP this year and pay monthly! Quad play sounds like a dream!!
This doesn’t work anymore. “No packages available” message comes up, even though trial videos work.
