What benefits does Surfshark VPN offer?

Fast connection speeds for your iPhone or iPad

To keep your internet running fast with a VPN, Surfshark offers more bandwidth for high-demand servers (e.g., the US and the UK) and mobile-optimized VPN protocols like IKEv2 and WireGuard.

RAM-only servers for extra privacy & security

Surfshark operates on 100% diskless infrastructure to further improve our users’ privacy and the transparency of our service. This means that any information that would usually be on the hard drive is automatically deleted once servers are turned off.

Plenty of server locations to choose from

With 3200+ servers in 65 countries, you’ll have plenty of server locations to choose from. Appear to be connecting from whatever country you want - or just connect to a server in the neighboring country for the fastest speed.

No logs - more privacy

What you do on the internet is your business. Our VPN with a strict no-logs policy guarantees you are protected and have full control over your own privacy when surfing online.

Protect an unlimited number of iOS devices

With Surfshark, you can connect all your devices simultaneously. Protect your entire family and friends too! Even if they might not be using an Apple device, you still love them, right?

Make the most of the Internet

Surfshark’s long list of features will make your iOS devices even better. Block ads and customize your web experience with CleanWeb and Bypasser!

Surfshark does not encourage using a VPN in ways that would potentially violate Terms of Service of streaming service providers.

FAQ

Should I download a VPN on my iPhone?

If you want to protect your identity online, steer clear from prying eyes, and bypass censorship, you should definitely get a VPN on your iPhone.

Even though Apple famously prioritizes privacy and security on their devices, your internet connections operate separately. With a VPN, you protect the traffic that travels from your device to the internet and back.

How do I use a VPN on my iPhone?

There are two ways to use a VPN on your iPhone: downloading a VPN app or setting up a VPN connection manually. The latter is recommended only when your VPN app doesn’t work or when you’re in a country that restricts VPN usage.

On our website, we have tutorials on how to set up IKEv2 and OpenVPN connections manually. Otherwise, just download the Surfshark iOS app, create an account, and connect. When you’re connected to a VPN server, you can browse privately and securely, as well as bypass geographical and network restrictions.

Is a VPN safe on an iPhone?

No. There’s no danger in having a VPN on your iPhone as long as you use a legit, premium service.

It’s a good idea to stay away from free VPN providers because they often have dodgy and unclear privacy policies and make money by selling users’ data to the highest bidder.

Which free VPN is best for the iPhone?

No free VPN will ever be best for anything, especially an iPhone.

Free VPNs are slow and dangerous to use. Why? Because VPN services and servers cost money to maintain. By using a “free” VPN, you’re paying in some other way – either with ads or your data, but it’s usually both.
