Secure your browser
Encrypt your connection
A VPN encrypts the traffic between your browser and the website. That way, if anyone (say, your internet service provider) tries to spy on your connection, they won’t get anything.
Hide your online address
Your IP (Internet Protocol) address is logged when you go places online, leading back to you. Install a VPN on Chrome to replace your IP with the VPN server’s.
Don’t worry about logs
A quality VPN like Surfshark operates under a strict no-logs policy and even maintains servers that would go blank if anyone tried to seize them.

FireTVOpen your access to online content
Your government might not like you reading foreign news sources. Your workplace or school would like you to not access YouTube on their Wi-Fi. However, a VPN extension for Chrome can overcome those blocks.
Bypass local firewalls
When a school, dorm, workplace, or other similar internet supplier blocks your access, they use fairly simple methods. A VPN can bypass them - and many others.
Visit censored websites
Some countries block access to regular websites like Facebook and Instagram. However, a VPN - even a Chrome VPN - can bypass the restrictions.
Surfshark does not encourage using a VPN in any way that would potentially violate the Terms of Service of other service providers.
