Explore the key benefits of Surfshark VPN
Improved privacy online
Surfshark VPN keeps your online activities private and protects your personal information by encrypting your internet traffic. It also hides your physical location by masking your IP (Internet Protocol) address.
Protection for unlimited devices
With Surfshark VPN, you are allowed unlimited simultaneous connections, meaning you can protect all your devices under a single VPN account — no need to pick and choose which device needs protection the most.
Fastest server connection
You can automatically connect to the fastest available server by hitting the Quick-connect button. If you have a preferred server location, you can customize this button to auto-connect to it.
Personalized security
If you need to disconnect from a VPN for specific apps but don’t want to expose your overall connection, Surfshark’s Bypasser allows you to do just that — customize your VPN connection as needed.
Uninterrupted privacy
To keep your privacy protected and sensitive information secured at all times, the Kill Switch feature disconnects you from the internet whenever your VPN connection drops.
Cybersecurity suite
Surfshark takes your cybersecurity beyond VPN protection — the Starter plan includes perks like Alternative ID, while other plans include antivirus, a data leak monitoring tool, data removal services, and more.
Surfshark VPN vs. free VPNs
Free VPNs can be appealing. However, saving money might cost your privacy. Free VPN providers typically don’t have the resources to ensure good service, offering inadequate performance compared to paid VPNs. But that’s not the worst that can happen.
To be able to run a free VPN service, some providers might apply questionable tactics to monetize their VPN use — bombarding you with ads, collecting your personal data and selling it to advertisers and other third parties, and even infecting your devices with malware.
Reliable VPN services like Surfshark are funded by user subscriptions, allowing us to provide a fast and secure product without the limitations or drawbacks of the free alternatives.
Lightning-fast servers
Free VPNs usually have very few servers, leading to overcrowding and slow speeds. Surfshark has thousands of 10Gbps servers globally, ensuring fast connection wherever you are.
Unlimited data
Free VPN providers tend to limit your data or connection time. Surfshark VPN provides unlimited data and simultaneous connections with all plans, allowing you to protect all your devices 24/7.
Security
Maintaining top-level security requires a lot of high-cost resources. Surfshark constantly invests in industry-leading security technologies, while free VPNs don’t have the budget for it.
No activity logs
Some free VPN providers log your activity and may even sell your data to third parties to make money. Surfshark, being a subscription service, doesn’t need to do that — it doesn’t even track what you do online.
Additional features
Surfshark VPN invests in overall digital safety and provides features like Kill Switch, ad blocker, double VPN, split-tunneling tools, and more. All of which you won’t find with most free VPNs.
Modern protocols
Surfshark uses only industry-leading protocols designed to deal with the latest threats and work with the newest technologies. Free VPNs often choose outdated, slower, and less secure protocols.

ALTERNATIVE ID
Keep your personal data private
You can create an online alias, a proxy email address, and a phone number with Surfshark’s Alternative ID and Alternative Number. These tools allow you to avoid spam emails, messages, and calls, safeguard your information, and prevent data leaks.
ANTIVIRUS
Protect your devices
Powerful Surfshark Antivirus protection secures your devices and everything on them — from your files to the webcam. Take advantage of 24/7 online and offline security, and rest assured that your devices and data are safe.
ALERT
Get data leak alerts
Stay in the know with Alert — it monitors the web for data leaks and alerts you when your credit card, ID, email, or other private information is compromised.
