Connecting to a VPN in Costa Rica

Enjoy faster, reliable internet performance with a VPN server located in Costa Rica and stay connected wherever you are.

When you choose a nearby server, your data travels a shorter distance, meaning lower latency, quicker response times, and smoother browsing.

Local servers may also have fewer users compared to popular distant ones, providing stable, high-speed connections while keeping your activity secure and private.

Connecting to a local Costa Rica-based VPN server while you’re traveling abroad lets you access your favorite home content, services, and websites just as if you were back in the country.

Surfshark’s key benefits

Increased online privacy

Connecting to Surfshark VPN masks your IP address and encrypts your online traffic, making it harder for bad actors to track your virtual location and online activities.

Our VPN app’s Clean Web ad blocker offers even more peace of mind by blocking ads, stopping trackers, and alerting you to past data breaches on sites you visit.

Leave distractions behind and ride the clean wave of uninterrupted browsing.

High-speed internet connection

Boosting your security with a VPN doesn’t mean sacrificing fast speeds.

Speed tests show that Surfshark is the fastest VPN on the market, meaning you’re in good hands with our tool.

Our VPN servers offer unlimited bandwidth, bringing you top-notch encryption and the fast speeds you expect.

Vast server network

Surfshark has 4,500+ servers in 100 countries on six continents, making it easy to connect to a nearby VPN server.

Not sure which of our server locations is best for you? Select Quick connect to have the VPN app automatically choose the fastest available option.

Unlimited simultaneous connections

The best VPN won’t limit your connection to a single device.

Whether you’re surfing on a Mac, Windows PC, or mobile, our VPN app lets you protect multiple devices at once.

Secure all your gadgets at no added cost thanks to Surfshark’s simultaneous connections.

All-in-one cybersecurity suite

Surfshark gives you much more than a VPN connection.

Our Starter plan offers advanced tools like an ad blocker, kill switch, and alternative online persona generator to enhance your web security.

For added protection, higher tiers include Antivirus, the Alert data leak monitoring tool, and our Incogni personal data removal service.
