The smaller the distance, the faster your internet connection. If you want the fastest VPN server connection possible, connect to the South African VPN servers closest to you. This may be a country or a city nearby.
Connect to one of our double VPN MultiHop locations if you want an extra kick to your security. This will put your connection through two servers instead of one to improve your privacy even more.
Staying or traveling in countries where governments censor the internet infringes on our right to internet freedom and expression and speech. Use obfuscated servers to bypass censorship and explore the free web wherever you are.
Problem: Your online activity benefits big data companies, your internet service provider (ISP), and the government.
Solution: A VPN encrypts (hides under code) your internet traffic and protects it from any extra pairs of eyes prying on what you do online.
Problem: Your IP and location can help data giants build profiles on you (your interests, opinions, health searches, etc.)
Solution: A VPN changes your IP address and hides your location so that no one knows where you’re browsing from or who you are.
Problem: Public Wi-Fi networks are great but they’re not secure, and Wi-Fi hotspots are easily faked and compromised by hackers.
Solution: A VPN connection encrypts your data before it leaves your device, making your connection impossible to spy on.
Problem: Your ISP can slow (throttle) your connection down if you’re streaming shows or downloading files.
Solution: Connect to a VPN to stream your favorite shows in the privacy of your home without lag or internet throttling.

Imagine locking your front door and handing the robber the keys to your house. Sounds silly? Well, it’s the same as using a free VPN. Free VPNs will collect and sell your personal data for money and bombard you with ads while providing a mediocre connection. Why? Because every VPN service needs to maintain its staff and service, and it’s either your data and ads or a simple subscription. As far as quality and your privacy are concerned – premium VPNs always beat free.
Don't leave home without Surfshark.

Probably the best, most flexible VPN out there.

Yes. VPN services are legal in South Africa as long as you don’t do anything illegal with them. Surfshark does not encourage using a VPN in any way that would potentially violate the Terms of Service of other service providers.
To get a South African VPN, you need to:
Surfshark and all cybersecurity experts recommend avoiding free VPNs as they might compromise your security. Free VPN service providers get money by selling your information to third parties and showering you with ads. So, we recommend you to try Surfshark’s South African servers instead – risk-free for 30 days, and we don’t collect any of your browsing information.
The prices of VPN services depend on the provider. Surfshark offers a 2-year subscription for $2.49 per month with a 30-day money-back guarantee.
No. Cybersecurity experts suggest avoiding all free VPN services as nothing is truly free. Either you pay for the product, or you are the product. Free VPNs make money by selling your data to the highest bidder and flooding you with ads.
A VPN can protect you from cyberattacks (on the rise nowadays) and data-hungry hackers and help to avoid catching malware. Generally, VPNs deliver enhanced privacy on public Wi-Fi, secure entertainment, and data protection.
