Surfshark review: what’s everyone saying about our VPN?

“Surfshark’s WireGuard speeds clocked in at over 950 Mbps, maxing out our test line, and easily earning its place in our rankings.” — TechRadar

“You won’t have these issues with Surfshark as it’s the fastest VPN we’ve ever tested, with great WireGuard and OpenVPN speeds.” — Tom’s Guide

“Relies heavily on virtual servers that are miles away from their stated locations.” — Tom’s Guide

Our comment:

It’s challenging to deploy physical servers in some countries or regions. To protect user privacy, we also refuse to set up physical servers in locations that would legally require us to share customer data. When physical servers aren’t an option, Surfshark, like many other VPNs, offers virtual server locations as the next best thing. We host them with the least distance and lowest latency possible to mask your real IP address.

“Surfshark’s monthly subscription is the highest of the VPNs I’ve tested.” — PCMag

Our comment:

With Surfshark Starter, you get a cybersecurity bundle. Alongside a VPN that gives you a new IP address, you get an ad blocker, cookie pop-up blocker, and Surfshark’s Alternative ID.

Our customers view privacy and security not as a temporary solution but as a constant need. That’s why we focus on providing highly affordable long-term cybersecurity solutions, with the lowest monthly price for 24-month subscriptions.

Surfshark VPN gives you access to 3,200+ optimized servers in 100 countries on six continents. This wide range of server locations makes it easy to connect to a server close to you and mask your IP address without worrying about significantly impacting your internet speed.   

All of Surfshark’s servers are 10Gbps and RAM-only, meaning they can deliver a stable internet connection while helping keep your data private.

“100 countries and 3200 servers is more than enough for anyone and guarantees a fast connection no matter where you might be.” — Tom’s Guide

A friendly, effective customer support team shouldn’t be overlooked when choosing a VPN provider. You want to get help immediately, especially if something goes wrong.

That’s why Surfshark speeds aren’t reserved for our VPN alone. We offer 24/7 live chat support on top of a ticketing system, email support, and an extensive searchable knowledge base.

“We found Surfshark’s agents to be friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable about the service.” — TechRadar

If you’re traveling abroad, a VPN helps you safely access your favorite streaming content from back home. The thing is, you’ll need  certain download speeds to avoid buffering.

While exact numbers vary from one platform to the next, you can use Netflix’s speed recommendations for a ballpark number:

• 3 Mbps to watch High Definition (HD) video (720p);
• 5 Mbps to watch Full High Definition (FHD) video (1080p);
• 15 Mbps to watch Ultra High Definition (UHD) video (4K).

Surfshark’s speeds meet the requirements of top streaming platforms, so you can stream your favorite content with greater online privacy.

“Surfshark has made a mark in the industry as a reliable VPN for streaming and unblocking all sorts of platforms.” — TechRadar
