Surfshark Reviews & Ratings

4.7/5

“Surfshark is a great VPN, it's easy to use,”

Pros : This is a great VPN, it's easy to use, has a ton of servers, and is easy on the wallet. It's a must-have if you're looking to protect your privacy online!

Cons : Subscription plans need to be revised and lowered for the students

Switched from : Express vpn

Reason to switch : It is perfect for a beginner or someone that just needs a basic VPN

4.6/5

“Decent global server coverage, good for frequent travel”

I travel a lot across Asia and Europe, and using Surfshark I can connect to servers close to my location or to whichever country I need online access to helpful for banking, streaming, or accessing home-country content.

Pros : Surfshark offers servers in many countries, which gives flexibility when travelling or when needing access to different regional services.

Cons : Some servers in less common regions may be slower or overloaded.

Switched from : WhoerVPN

Reason to switch : I switched because my old VPN only had a few servers and often didn’t cover the regions I needed; Surfshark’s wide server base gave me more flexibility.

4.5/5

“Best Product among other products”

Pros : SurfShark is affordable, quick, and dependable, and I appreciate that they do not place a restriction on the number of devices it may be installed on. It is really simple to use and delivers on its promises. I've frequently used it abroad to access my Youtube TV and Netflix accounts. They have easily accessible services all over the world. A no logs policy is also in place for further security.

Cons : NO CONS

4.5/5

“Offers good speed”

Pros : It's been quite a few months that I have been using SurfShark, and I am very satisfied with their speed. I generally use US servers in which they provide good speed, irrespective of where my physical location is.

Cons : I had faced difficulty in updating the software, but eventually it happened. So, overall, it’s a nice VPN software to use.

Switched from : Block Armour

Reason to switch : My reason for switching from Block Armour was that I did not offer many location options.

4.5/5

“Good VPN for everyday use but power-users might need more”

For my usual use streaming, travel, occasional secure browsing Surfshark works very well. I recognise it’s not the “perfect VPN” for hardcore privacy or max speed, but for what I need it strikes a good balance.

Pros : Surfshark is great for everyday tasks: streaming, browsing, public-WiFi safety, and moderate privacy.

Cons : Heavy users (P2P, heavy torrenting, enterprise-level privacy) sometimes find the shared IP model or speed fluctuations limiting.

Switched from : Psiphon VPN

Reason to switch : I switched because those premium solutions were expensive and overkill for my needs; Surfshark offered “good enough” at a reasonable cost.

4.5/5

“Surfshark is a completely functional, affordable VPN alternative.”

Pros : I appreciate that Surfshark is free and autonomous. I especially appreciate how effectively it operates on the Linux command line. OpenVPN compatibility is excellent, and the browser plugin appears to be reliable.

Cons : NO CONS

4.5/5

“Works globally useful even when I’m abroad on work or travel”

I often travel across countries and use public WiFi. Surfshark gives me secure browsing, access to home-region services, and protection on public networks invaluable when I’m abroad.

Pros : Surfshark helped them access work tools, media, or home-country services while traveling.

Cons : In certain locations, connecting to a stable server can be tricky, depending on local restrictions or ISP throttling.

Switched from : Cyberghost

Reason to switch : I switched because local VPNs didn’t offer global servers or security I need while travelling. Surfshark’s global coverage and privacy features made the difference.

4.5/5

“Good customer support when I had issues, rare but helpful”

Once my payment failed to process and I reached out to Surfshark’s support. They responded within hours, resolved billing, and got me back online quickly that reliability matters, especially when I travel.

Pros : Several reviewers mention responsive support (chat/email) from Surfshark when they had connection issues or billing queries.

Cons : Some support tickets took time or required follow-ups before resolution.

Switched from : Astrill VPN

Reason to switch : I switched because earlier VPN support was slow or unhelpful; Surfshark’s support responsiveness gave me trust.

4.5/5

“Unlimited devices great for our whole household”

I have a laptop, phone, tablet and family members using different devices. Surfshark letting me protect all devices under one plan meant I didn’t have to pay multiple subscriptions, a big cost-saver.

Pros : Surfshark allows simultaneous use on many (unlimited) devices under one subscription, which many reviewers find valuable.

Cons : A few devices see slower speeds compared to others when using at same time.

Switched from : Proton VPN

Reason to switch : I switched because my previous VPN only allowed 2 devices too limiting for a full household; Surfshark’s “unlimited devices” solved that.

4.5/5

“Camouflage mode and extra privacy features matter to me”

Since I sometimes connect from restrictive networks, I appreciate Surfshark’s obfuscation and extra privacy tools — they help me stay secure and keep traffic hidden. For sensitive browsing or remote work, that additional layer feels worth the small performance hit.

Pros : Surfshark includes features like obfuscation, kill-switch, multihop (Double VPN), and ad/malware blockers in some plans.

Cons : Using double-VPN or obfuscated servers may slow down speeds significantly.

Switched from : Bright VPN

Reason to switch : I switched because basic VPNs failed to bypass certain restrictions or were easily flagged; Surfshark’s advanced privacy tools gave me better access and safety.
