Surfshark VPN delivers private, secure, and fast protection through powerful encryption, high-speed 10 Gbps servers, and helpful security tools such as an ad blocker, an email generator, and a data leak detector.
▶ How does Surfshark keep you safe online?
Surfshark combines VPN security, identity protection, and browsing safety in one app. It supports unlimited device connections, provides a secure connection when traveling, and helps protect personal information online.
STAY PRIVATE ONLINE EASILY
▶ How does Surfshark keep your data private?
Surfshark VPN secures your IP address and online activity by encrypting your internet connection. It uses modern VPN protocols, including WireGuard, OpenVPN, and IKEv2, to protect traffic from third parties.
▶ Does Surfshark track what I do?
Surfshark operates under a strict no-logs policy, which was independently audited by Deloitte in 2025, and does not track, collect, or store user activity, providing protection wherever the VPN is connected.
▶ Why use Alternative ID, Surfshark’s email generator?
Surfshark’s email generator Alternative ID creates an alternative email address you can use online. It helps keep your primary email private when signing up for services and reduces unwanted exposure and data leak risk.
PROTECT YOUR DEVICES FROM ADS
▶ How does Surfshark’s ad blocker work?
Surfshark’s ad blocker blocks ads, pop-ups, and trackers. It also blocks access to known malicious domains, helping reduce exposure to harmful websites.
ENJOY AWARD-WINNING VPN SERVICE AND EXTRA FEATURES
▶ How fast are Surfshark’s VPN servers?
Surfshark VPN operates a global network of over 4,500+ servers across 100 countries. High-capacity, fast 10Gbps servers support stable connections for everyday activities like browsing and gaming.
▶ Can I secure unlimited devices with Surfshark VPN?
Surfshark supports unlimited device connections under one account. You can use VPN on phones, laptops, tablets, smart TVs, and other devices without limits, and protect your entire household with a single account.
▶ What proxy features does Surfshark include?
Surfshark lets you use proxy servers for quick, lightweight location changes directly through the browser extension. This gives you a fast, simple way to mask your IP address without a full VPN connection.
▶ Does Surfshark have DNS servers?
Surfshark operates its own DNS servers to securely handle DNS requests and route users to legitimate websites. This helps reduce DNS-based attacks and bypass DNS-level blocking in certain regions, while keeping DNS queries private and handled by Surfshark only.
TRAVEL AND ACCESS CONTENT SAFELY
▶ Why is Surfshark VPN good for travelers?
Surfshark encrypts your connection on public Wi-Fi networks such as hotels, airports, and cafés while you travel. By changing your virtual location, you can access services typically available in your home country, such as online banking or streaming platforms, without exposing your real IP address.

I have been using Surfshark for a few months now and so far I’m very impressed. (Hence my holding back with a review) I was shopping around for a while and came across Surfshark and read up on it. I was very speculative at first as I’d not heard of them before. I’d almost gone with one of the more common VPN’s due to popularity mainly but decided to throw a few questions across via Live Chat and all questions where answered which was a huge positive and to be fair the price was unquestionably amazing. I had nothing to lose with a free trial and never looked back. I don’t use it as often as I could but there’s no loss, given the deal and to be fair, I’m so impressed, especially with the ease of the apps via all my devices compared to others used prior to Surfshark and ‘touch wood’ I’ve never had a problem using my VPN, no connection loss and at times I’ve had my connection going for long periods, nor had to contact customer support for anything.Great work guys/gals - Easy 5 Stars from me!Anyone shopping around for a new VPN I would highly recommend giving Surfshark a try!

Support - not the best

The problem with reviews is that there is never a straight answer. I actually think Surfshark (when it works) isn’t too bad but dealing with their customer support dept. is a nightmare. Literally conflicting, confusing and complicated answers where so many of their staff get involved and don’t bother to read (more importantly; understand) the previous messages because the replies are given randomly by someone different every time and invariably they don’t bother to actually see what their colleagues have said earlier. Add the gushing platitudes and “hope you’re having a wonderful day” or similar cringing comments “ hope you’re doing great” when obviously due to the problem one is not “ doing great”. “ Have a delightful day” , “stay safe” ….. yuk I could go on. Oh ok maybe they are all Americans who love this gushing nonsense. Main thing is; read the blasted problem and answer the question and let’s deal with one person; not, in my case, over a dozen people who just complicate things and never quite see or answer the question or keep to dealing with the issue in context. Ok, I know they are being friendly but FGS just deal with the problem. Now just wait for a robotic, inane answer from G knows who?

Excellent App - Very Little Speed Loss

Signed up decently via main website, as there are really good deals to be had at the moment. Tried other VPNs, but their speed hit was not acceptable. Despite spending hours trying various servers, I could not get any of them to offer a decent speed ( barely able to get 100 Mbps), but when trying Surfshark, I was really pleased with the speed. Currently getting just under 800 Mbps from a USA server, so can’t complain about that!They have apps for IOS that are east to use, clear and explanatory. You can quickly toggle VPN on or off as needed to avoid potential problems with some sites detecting international IP as being out of the ordinary.For the UK in the present climate, you really need to consider a VPN, as censorship is now a reality. The inability to access many sites, community forums or common websites with over zealous age restriction is now totally unacceptable. Highly recommended and no wonder UK VPN sales have rocketed and continue to do so - just look at the top app downloads in the UK!
The ultimate solution for online privacy and security is provided by Surfshark VPN.

After using Surfshark VPN for a while, I am quite pleased with its performance. The user interface is simple and straightforward to use, and the setup process is also quick and simple. I can access stuff from all over the world because the VPN offers a large selection of servers to pick from. Streaming and downloading are made possible by the quick and reliable connection speed. However, the robust security features of Surfshark set it apart from competing VPNs. My online activities are shielded from hackers and other bad actors thanks to the usage of AES-256-GCM encryption. My online identity is further protected by the VPN's kill switch and stringent no-logs policy, which are additional features. All things considered, Surfshark VPN is a great option for anyone seeking for a dependable and secure VPN service.
We strive to provide the best possible experience for you, and this release was focused on that. We made some slight app improvements and uplifts so you can enjoy smoother connections.
