using the best VPNs to watch your favourite series, but hate spending hours
on Google trying to find out which server you need to access it? Then youll
be pleased to know that PureVPN has found a new way to eliminate those
tedious manual steps and help you focus solely on your heavenly VPN experience.

The VPN has announced an integration with ChatGPT, allowing its users to submit service-related requests to the LLM and have manual configurations handled by the AI assistant ready to be applied with a single click. The PureVPN app is now available on ChatGPT Apps Directory for users across the US, Canada, Australia, Germany, France, Japan, the Netherlands, Singapore, Switzerland, and the UAE. How does PureVPN's ChatGPT Co-Pilot work? Even if you already know how to use a virtual private network (VPN) , finding the right server or settings can be tricky and time-consuming, especially for those who arent particularly tech-savvy.

PureVPNs integration with ChatGPT aims to enable its users to resolve any configuration palaver without having to resort to manual trial and error

Previously, ChatGPT could only provide general advice and instructions, but was unable to guide users through effective Pure VPNs manual configurations. With the new release, the AI can interact with PureVPNs infrastructure from start to finish. PureVPN just became the first VPN to have an official app in ChatGPT.No more scrolling through server lists or guessing which location to choose.Just tell ChatGPT what you want to do, whether that's streaming, gaming, or securing your connection, and the app handles the rest. pic.twitter.com/WXywPGNpIv June 11, 2026 Specifically, by typing @pureVPN while using ChatGPT to send a request related to any VPN configuration on PureVPN, the AI will determine suitable settings, including which server or location, or any additional optimised configuration required for that task.

ChatGPT will then generate a single button, allowing users to launch the VPN app with those settings already configured via secure deep links.

PureVPN provides various examples of how ChatGPT can immediately solve users' problems. For example, a remote worker using a public Wi-Fi network asking ChatGPT for a secure connection will see the AI select a highly-encrypted local node and display a 'Connect Now' button to instantly protect the users privacy.

Similarly, a streamer asking for a server optimised for video traffic to
watch their favourite show will be presented with a 'Watch Now' button, with the show ready to stream.

whether your VPN configurations might be exposed while using ChatGPT, Shoaib Usman, manager at PureVPN, puts your mind at rest and says the integration follows strict data isolation boundaries.

"OpenAI cannot see into PureVPN: ChatGPT purely acts as the initial guidance layer," he tells TechRadar. "The moment a user clicks the deep link, control shifts 100% to our native application."

Basically, all the encryption process and network routing happen locally on the user's device, completely insulated from OpenAIs servers.

The system ensures privacy in both directions, as PureVPN cannot see into ChatGPT either, as OpenAIs ecosystem strictly sandboxes third-party applications.

"PureVPN has zero access to the users broader chat history, account data, or other conversations. We only receive the specific text explicitly directed to use via the PureVPN mention," Usman adds.

However, it is important to emphasise that the decision to share information with ChatGPT, including your intentions regarding your personal use of the VPN, remains entirely up to you and is not PureVPNs responsibility.

While for streamers and gamers, the convenience of letting ChatGPT configure the VPN might outweigh any privacy concerns, more privacy-conscious users might prefer to stick to more old-school methods for their manual configurations.

While PureVPN claims to be "the first VPN" to commercially transform an AI-powered interface into an interactive control panel, the AI hype has recently been catching on with more and more VPNs with ExpressVPN and NortonVPN being at the forefront of AI agents' integrations. And we expect this trend to continue.
