Renewal Help

I was having a renewal issue and the agent was very helpful during the process. They took time to explain what my options were, which lead to a much better deal over the next three years. Thank you so much!

I was in Europe and I couldn't log in to my work account in US while using surfshark. The work system was detecting an issue. I have tried different VPN servers on surfshark and it didn't work. I was finally able to login using Proton free VPN. That's why you payless for surfshark :)

Hi there, Luke. Thank you for sharing your experience. If you encounter an accessibility issue while connected to the VPN, switch to a different server in the Surfshark app or try switching to a different connection protocol. You can do so by going to the Surfshark app -> Settings -> VPN settings -> Protocol. In case the issue persists, please get in touch with our customer support team for further troubleshooting.

This VPN is easy to set up

This Surfshark VPN is easy to set up, understand and use with a 'Home Network', 'mobile phone', whatever you need it for and it is FAST! You can choose the fastest VPN in the United States or use double hop. It's a real nice and smooth setup.
