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.

The instructions provided for how to set up my vpn subscription were very easy to follow even for me. Their customer service was terrific. Nothing was too much trouble for them, particularly with my silly questions.

A must-have

It does what it says on the tin, and it is an easy setup, and it works for me. I've been using it a little while now, and I would definitely recommend it.

Affordable and Easy to Use VPN

I just found that it was an affordable VPN that met all my needs. It's easy to use, and I love that I can put it on multiple devices at no extra cost to me.

My new Provider

I need a vpn to stream television. I have just changed from one provider to Surfshark because of a very steep price increase. To be fair this was the first increase in a very long time but there were cheaper providers. So far I find the service provides me with exactly what I need. The process was very easy and I am very happy with the change.

Just Fabulous!

Signed up 2 months ago to an excellent 3 year deal after previously only having a home based VPN router for 10 years.

Can't believe how superior Surfshark is!

Hasn't slowed our internet speeds or failed service at all, is so easy to set up initially - especially for an old non techie person such as myself - and is brilliant when overseas as, by logging in to a UK Surfshark IP location, I can utilise all UK based banking, shopping and TV apps with no problems at all

Can highly recommend!

I've been using this VPN for years

I've been using Surfshark for a while. I've had a problem or 2, (my fault, not theirs) but each time I had to contact support, the solution was swift and worry free. I also love the fact that it is easy to pause the service when needed. There's also anti-virus!

A great VPN provider

A great VPN provider. The customer cervices team was very professional when handling my case. Changing the primary email for a Surfshark account is tough and not easy. But the problem was quickly solved via live chat. Thanks!

Just all over great!

Great app! Easy to set up. Leak reports on your emails and payment card information is set up super fast! We have it set up on a TV for streaming abroad as expats to see the news from "home", streaming movies and series that are not available in our current region. On PCs it works well, however, beware of having it connected as a browser app and the program at the same time because it will not give you access to the world wide web. On android phones it is a super app! Very easy to navigate in the app, and fast to connect to a new country within seconds! I have recommended the app to all colleagues in my International work environment and shown them how cool it is to sit in a foreign country while watching your favourite series from your home country! 5 stars all the way! Oh! and thank you to Tyler & Todd (youtube) for this recommendation!

Surfshark has been a good value for the price. Setup was quick, and I was able to use it across multiple devices without any trouble. Occasionally a server can be slower than expected, but switching to another one usually fixes the issue. Overall, it's easy to use and has been dependable for streaming and general browsing.

Reply from Surfshark

Hi, thanks for sharing your experience! Glad to hear Surfshark has been easy to set up and use, and that you've been getting good value out of it. If you run into a slower server from time to time, try switching to a different location or changing the VPN protocol in the app under Settings > VPN Settings > Protocol. That often does the trick. But if it starts happening regularly, feel free to contact our support team at support@surfshark.com. We are here to help!

Rafferty Sinclair was great

Rafferty Sinclair was great. He understood my concern and was very quick to resolve it. He was professional and easy to deal with. I would rather deal with acutal humans like Rafferty Sinclair that some random soulless bot
