Setting up Surfshark’s Linux GUI (graphical user interface) app is easy — when in doubt, be sure to consult our dedicated support guides:
Surfshark is an all-in-one cybersecurity solution. Beyond the VPN, you also get our Ad Blocker, Cookie pop-up Blocker, and Alternative ID. For even more protection, Surfshark One comes with Antivirus with Webcam Protection, Alert for data leak monitoring, and Incogni, a cutting-edge data removal service.
With over 3,200 servers in 100 countries, Surfshark makes it easy to find one nearby. The vast network helps distribute internet traffic, ensuring your VPN connection remains fast and reliable.
Not sure which server to pick? Just hit Quick-connect, and Surfshark will automatically choose the fastest one for you.
Surfshark’s CleanWeb feature not only blocks ads and cookie pop-ups but also alerts you to potential data leaks and malware risks. It works both within the app and in your browser, keeping you safe the whole way through.
Get on board and experience browsing the way it’s meant to be.
Connecting your Linux PC to a VPN server is the key to staying safe online. Surfshark encrypts your traffic and hides your IP (Internet Protocol) address so neither we nor anyone else can see what you do online.
Setting up a VPN on your Linux PC doesn’t have to feel like a chore. Surfshark’s complete security suite is extremely easy to install, giving your online security an instant boost.
Surfshark VPN offers unlimited simultaneous connections. With no impact on your internet speed, you can stay protected not just on your Linux PC but also on other devices or operating systems — all at the same time.
Surfshark’s CleanWeb feature acts as an ad blocker, preventing ads, trackers, and malware from compromising your security. This keeps your surfing experience smooth at all times.
Kill Switch automatically disconnects you from the internet if your VPN connection drops. That way, no sensitive data or personal information is leaked. This is especially important when avoiding censorship and promoting freedom of speech.
Surfshark offers more than 3,200 dedicated servers in 100 countries. If you ever experience a slowdown, finding a less crowded server is as simple as can be.
No, you shouldn’t use a free VPN on your Linux PC — or any other device, for that matter. While paid VPNs like Surfshark take protecting your privacy seriously, free VPNs pose loads of security risks. In 2022 alone, the data of 25 million users was leaked due to free VPNs’ flawed security measures. Don’t risk your privacy — choose Surfshark instead.
At Surfshark, we’re committed to your online security and privacy. Our VPN has undergone numerous independent audits to ensure we provide effective, trustworthy VPN software for Linux.
To prioritize user privacy, we’ve prepared a warrant canary to show we’ve never faced a data breach or government order to share private information.
A Deloitte report has verified the quality and effectiveness of our VPN server configuration, deployment process, API (Application Programming Interface), and more.
We aim to give our users total privacy, period. Our privacy policy details our commitment to refrain from logging any information that could let anyone see your online activity.
At Surfshark, we strive to offer a hassle-free experience for all our users. But don’t just take our word for it — here’s what the world has to say about us.
All the VPNs you mentioned are good. But Surfshark is the one I recommend in person for the best overall.
