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.

All is good

From what I can tell everything is working fine. I am not experience with VPN's so all of it is confusing. Have not really tried to find an easy to understand guide on what i am doing with Surfshark. All seems to be fine, thanks for a great product and price.

This app is so easy to set up and use

This app is so easy to set up and use. Help is available on any issue you may have and is easy to follow.
The price is more than reasonable for the great service provided. I cannot praise Surfshark enough.

A great value product I've used for many years, easy to use with basic important functions included in basic price. Regular upgrades and reliability with extra pay for functions available if you need them. An 'mask' phone number is a great option but not available in the UK. Maybe in time.

The Best After Years Of Looking

I am very proud to give you a review. I had Norton for several months, and it was a terrible, unusable program. In fact, over the years, I have had several security programs, and none have come even close to what SURFSHARK can do for any user. It is easy to install, and the thing I like most is the VPN. If you don't need it, you have several choices for the length of time to disconnect it, and I use that nearly every day. It comes on automatically and has not failed me to this day.
The price and updates can't be equaled.
I have used a computer for over thirty years, and I have looked at a lot of programs. I would encourage anyone who has a need for security to make the smart move and sign up!

Works well

Works well. Easy to change locations.
It does slow things down a bit, unfortunately.

Hi, thanks for your feedback. If you're noticing slower speeds, try switching the connection protocol in the app via Settings → VPN Settings → Protocol. We recommend WireGuard for the best performance, and trying a different server can help too. If the issue persists after trying these steps, feel free to contact our support team via live chat here: https://support.surfshark.com/hc/en-us#open-chat or via email at support@surfshark.com so we can take a closer look.
