I'm sure that it helps protect me some, but so often I have to turn it off to access legitimate sites. Then quite a few sites cover the page, like my local news channels, saying I am blocking ads, so... See more

Surfshark vpn seems to work fine in keeping financial accounts safe. Hope stays that way. Been using for at least 6 years maybe by now. For now I see no reason to switching to another vpn.

Great customer service! Immediate resolution.

Great customer service (thanks Raymond Wilson). I had an issue with the automatic renewal and cost. I emailed and the mater was sorted out in my favour within 24 hours. Excellent and a happy subscriber again.

The VPN product has also run smoothly on my mac and iphone for the past 3 years. With a clear and easy-to-use interface. Recommended.

best cost-benefit out there

the service provided simply works - no down time, no issues
easy to use and to set up just the way I want it to
even on my server, accessing it through SSH, I can manage the software without issues

Very easy to use

Very easy to use, but having difficulty to switch back off the mock location.

Should have an option to turn it on or off.

Sometimes it's difficult to switch to other locations.

Should have all settings in the App, rather than going in to the phone settings...

Nevertheless it's an outstanding VPN APP, well recommend

Hi there, thanks for the thoughtful feedback! For trouble switching locations, it may help to change the protocol in the Surfshark app -> Settings -> VPN settings -> Protocol, and also check your Auto-connect preferences. If the issue continues, please reach out to us at support@surfshark.com or via live chat on our website.

Such a very easy to use Vpn.

Such a very easy to use Vpn.
So many excellent features added on now as well.
It always felt good that you are protected from people getting at your ip to potentially cause havoc. Now you can do checks on id theft and credit and bank debit cards just for a little extra subscription per year.
Love Surfshark
