Why use a VPN for Apex Legends?

Protect yourself from DDoS

The deepest salt mine on Earth doesn’t hold as much salt as a Battle Royale FPS player scorned. So whether you just eliminated their team early on or are about to partake in a tournament where you’ll wreck their face, they might hit you with a DDoS attack. But if you’re connected via a VPN server, you can reconnect to the game easily by switching servers.

Hide your IP address

The last time I played Apex Legends, it didn’t have NPC enemies on the map, so I assume they still haven’t added any. But you know what’s full of random hostile weirdos? The internet. From your ISP (Internet Service Provider) potentially selling your browsing data to marketers to just mad opponents, quite a few villains could want to get your IP (Internet Protocol) address. But with a VPN connection, your IP is replaced by that of the server.

Bypass ISP throttling

If the ISP were your friend, you’d be getting a top-of-line fiber optic connection for free. It manifestly isn’t your friend, however, and it may even throttle your speed when gaming Apex Legends (or other games). But if the ISP can’t see that you’re connecting to the game — because you’re connecting to a VPN server — then it’s less likely to throttle the connection! Don’t lose out on your gaming experience due to lazy ISPs!

How can a VPN help you get the best gaming servers to play Apex Legends?

The best VPN server to play Apex Legends on is the one closest to you. Proximity is a large component of how fast a VPN is.

If you’re lucky, one of our 3200+ server network locations might coincidentally be in your town! You can easily check that by tapping the Quick Connect button on the Surfshark app. It defaults to the fastest connection, which means that it automatically chooses the VPN server location with the best speeds (and probably the one closest to you).

More than 3200 servers worldwide

Whatever you want to do with a VPN, having more servers to choose from is better. It increases speed, it increases the odds of a server landing in your country — or even your city. How many servers does Surfshark have? Over 3200. Read ‘em and weep, boys! And then jump back into Apex Legends.

NoBorders mode

I’m sure there is a Metal Gear Solid quote about borders, but they haven’t made that franchise into a battle-royale character shooter just yet. But what’s important to you, Apex Legends players, is Surfshark’s NoBorders mode. This allows the VPN to function even in the more… restrictive countries.

VPN and antivirus in one

As a gamer, you probably already know that viruses are bad if you want to maintain your data uncorrupted, your bank accounts not cleaned out, or your data drives not encrypted. So when you’re getting a VPN app, why not get one that includes an antivirus? Because that’s what the Surfshark One package entails!

FAQs

Are VPNs allowed on Apex Legends?

The EA terms of service don’t explicitly mention VPNs, but you have to take this bit into account when the temptation strikes to play Apex Legends on bot lobbies:

Attempt to use an EA Service on or through any service that is not controlled or authorized by EA, or otherwise intentionally obfuscate your network connection or location or other metadata to gain access to an EA Service, make purchases, or otherwise access an EA Service.

As always, bear our disclaimer in mind:

Disclaimer: We prohibit using Surfshark services for any unlawful purposes as it is against our Terms of Service. Please be sure to act in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations of service providers.

Can I use a free VPN for Apex Legends?

You can technically use a free VPN for Apex Legends in the sense that the Standard Model of physics allows it to happen. However, a free VPN is a bad choice for any online game because:

Free VPNs have far fewer servers, leading to speed drops and congestion;
Free VPNs are slower, sometimes intentionally throttling speed to make you buy the premium version;
Free VPNs can have data caps.

Premium VPNs don’t have any of those issues. This makes them the superior choice for online gaming!

Can I play other games with a VPN for Apex Legends?

A VPN isn’t tied to any particular game, so a VPN for Apex Legends can still be used to play online games like:
