The Surfshark Starter plan comes with online security essentials — a VPN, Alternative ID, and an ad and cookie blocker CleanWeb. With these essentials, you can surf the web without tracking, avoid public Wi-Fi risks, access websites while traveling, and guard your personal data.
Enjoy your online adventures with 24/7 privacy protection by the award-winning Surfshark VPN
ALTERNATIVE ID
Keep your personal data private
Create a brand new online identity and a proxy email with Alternative ID. Use it to shield your info, avoid data leaks and a spam-filled inbox.
Ad blocker
Block all ad banners, pop-ups, and videos, so you get a more streamlined and less cluttered browsing experience. CleanWeb 2.0 is available on Chrome, Firefox, and Edge extensions and the Surfshark app.
Cookie pop-up blocker
Our cookie pop-up blocker automatically declines consent pop-ups, so you can enjoy browsing the web without any annoying interruptions.
The VPN itself does not block ads. But in Surfshark’s case, you can use CleanWeb — our app-implemented feature that allows you to block ads.
CleanWeb is a Surfshark feature that blocks ads and malicious websites. With CleanWeb enabled, the browser will show fewer ads, and fewer trackers will work. You will also be protected from some phishing attempts.
Yes, blocking ads with trustworthy ad blocker software is safe. But it is important to note that all it does is block ads — it will not protect you from viruses or other threats online.
