Frequently asked questions

To get a VPN in South Korea:

  • Choose a VPN provider with South Korean server locations;
  • Purchase a subscription and create an account;
  • Download and install the VPN app to your device;
  • Log in and connect to a server in South Korea — and you’re done.

Using a VPN in South Korea is mostly legal. There are no specific laws that prohibit using VPNs. However, illegal activity (such as getting around content restrictions imposed by the South Korean government or accessing illegal content) under VPN use is considered a crime. So, you shouldn’t violate local regulations when using a VPN, as it may have legal consequences.

Disclaimer: Please note that using Surfshark services for any illegal activities is strictly forbidden and violates our Terms of Service. Make sure that any use of Surfshark services for your particular activities conforms to all relevant laws and regulations, including those of any service providers and websites you access using Surfshark.

You shouldn’t use free VPNs because they can limit your bandwidth and browsing speed or, worse — infect your device with malware or sell your data to third parties. It may seem like a free VPN service does everything you need, but it can actually harm your privacy.

Legitimate VPN companies may offer free plans, but it’s typical for them to be severely limited and/or riddled with ads. Meanwhile, completely free VPNs should not be trusted.

Maintaining VPN infrastructure isn’t cheap. As a result, free VPNs may use your private data to make money, which defeats the purpose of having a VPN in the first place.

You should use a VPN whenever you’re online, regardless of where you are located. And South Korea is no exception! A VPN encrypts all internet traffic, securing your privacy where it’s most vulnerable — online.

You can get a South Korean IP address by routing your internet traffic via a server in South Korea. VPNs are the quickest solution. We recommend Surfshark — get the app, choose servers in South Korea, and once you’re connected, you have a South Korean IP.
