A VPN (Virtual Private Network) for Android is an app that encrypts data sent to and from your device, routing it through a remote server via an encrypted tunnel to ensure privacy online.
VPN on Android can also refer to the built-in VPN functionality on devices running Android 4.0 or later, allowing secure, private connections over the internet.
Pick a pricing plan and sign up.
Download the Surfshark VPN Android app on Google Play, or get the APK here.
Hit Quick-connect and enjoy a private, safe, and unrestricted internet.
Surfshark is supported by API (Application Programming Interface) versions 21 or newer, Android 5.0 and newer systems, as well as Android phones, tablets, and smart TVs.
The app is available on Google Play, while the APK can be downloaded from our website.
We’ve also got a video on how to set up Surfshark on Android!
Kill Switch automatically disconnects you from the internet if your VPN connection drops. This way, no sensitive data or personal information is leaked. This is especially important when avoiding censorship and promoting freedom of speech.
CleanWeb is an in-built adblock feature that keeps your Android clean from ads and trackers. It stops ads from loading and saves you from potentially clicking on a malicious one.
Bypasser lets you exclude apps and websites from VPN protection while keeping you safe everywhere else — useful when you want to protect only specific processes or exempt them from the VPN, like a banking app.
With Surfshark, you can connect multiple devices to one account. No need to log out or buy a different VPN account for each device — we allow unlimited simultaneous connections.
We use industry-leading AES-256 VPN encryption to protect your sensitive information — no computer system that exists now could crack it in a human lifetime. Encryption is the key to keeping your data safe from ISPs (Internet Service Providers) and snoopers.
Surfshark adheres to a no-activity-logs policy, which means we don’t monitor or log your online activity. What you do online is completely up to you.
We know there are modded Surfshark VPN APKs out there, but beware — using them is risky. Here is why:
Whoever’s modified the Surfshark APK could be spying on you. They could even intercept all of your data, and you wouldn’t know it.
Who knows what modifications have been made to the modified Surfshark VPN APK? Surfshark’s support isn’t in the know, so if any troubles arise, they won’t be able to help.
A modded Surfshark APK misses out on all the updates necessary to keep the app secure and improve its functionality.
Surfshark has measures in place to detect and block unauthorized connections. This means that any benefits gained by using a modded APK could suddenly disappear.
Surfshark offers unlimited simultaneous connections, which means you can protect all your devices at the same time. Don’t limit your VPN use to Android — download our app on all your devices and stay private whenever you go online.
Download a VPN (Virtual Private Network) on all your devices, including smart TVs, Nintendo Switch, Xbox, PlayStation, Oculus Quest, and Apple Vision Pro. And if you want to protect your entire home network at once, you can always set up Surfshark VPN on your router.
Most free Android VPN services limit data usage and cap your speed. Some of them have also been known to collect and sell user data to keep their service running.
Here’s why Surfshark VPN blows its free alternatives out of the water:
Paid VPNs don’t need to sell user data to finance themselves, so they’re much more likely to have a no-activity-logs policy and abide by it.
Free VPN developers don’t have the money for research and development like paid VPN developers.
A free VPN is likely to limit your speed or data — that’s their way of making you upgrade to a paid plan. A paid VPN already comes with unlimited bandwidth.
Maintaining a secure and modern VPN network requires money. A free VPN can’t ensure the same level of security that a subscription-funded paid VPN can.
Your internet connection speed with a VPN depends partly on the number of servers and locations a VPN offers. Paid VPNs always have a larger server selection and better server infrastructure than free alternatives.
A paid VPN like Surfshark can afford to upgrade its servers to 10Gbps — something a free VPN would hardly be able to do.

@surfshark Your customer service rocks!!!! I had a billing issue and I had two options, my preferred and not so preferred option. Your rep Mike was excellent and even went with my preferred billing option. I’m getting you for the two year plan.
