Surfshark Reviews

Summary: The last straw was when Microsoft Antivirus reported that SurfShark had installed the lodi virus on my computer. I was on a "chat" with SurfShark tech support - I was passed through several people, Henry, Ernest, etc. I told them I no longer trusted SurfShark because my antivirus was saying it installed Lodi. After more than two hours, they absolutely refused to refund my remaining payment of 40 dollars. I can't imagine how much they pay their tech support staff, but 40 dollars seems like a small amount that they could refund to make things right. So sad!

Positive: I like the "concept" that I am securely connected to a VPN when I am away from the home, or at a coffee shop.

Negative: SurfShark has been generally slow and unstable.
Many sites like Amazon, just fails to load. So I have to disconnect SurfShark, then go to Amazon. I'm constantly disconnecting and reconnecting. Really frustrating.
Freezing where page refuses to load. I disconnect and the page loads.

Summary: I can't complain much since Surfshark has made everything possible to access geo-locked websites from anywhere.

Positive: I like the fact that Surfshark makes it easy for me to access websites that are prohibited or rather restricted in our location.

Negative: They have incorporated minimal servers unlike other RDPs out there.

Summary: Overall it's been a great experience using Surfshark VPN and it provides all the advanced protocols for virtual connections.

Positive: Surfshark provides excellent speeds when we connect to VPN through it's servers and doesn't affect the overall experience of internet usage and streaming at all.

Negative: There are some limitations in whitelisting feature in ATV application, which need to be rectified.

Summary: What I liked about this VPN is that it has some features and benefits that other VPNs don’t. The unlimited device logins is definitely a bonus. It has this feature that blocks ads for you, and I read there are also some features, which help you track your accounts and inform you if you get hacked, but you have to pay extra for them. All in all, a pretty nice VPN, would recommend.

Positive: Good security protocols, unlimited device logins, a decent number of servers, and country options.

Negative: Mainly use it for torrenting, the speed drops a bit, but that would probably happen with any VPN, so not disappointed that much.

Summary: As a user that is not that tech-savvy, I was searching for something easy to use and operate. In a couple of Surfshark reviews, I saw that it was mentioned as a user-friendly VPN, that’s good for newbies, so I decided to risk it. I definitely wasn’t disappointed. Coming back to the features they offer, I can say they are pretty nice, although not always very useful for a tech newbie like me. The reason why I use Surfshark the most is for streaming on Netflix. Guilty as charged!

Positive: Easy to use, has a lot of interesting features I haven’t seen in other providers. Works with Netflix.

Negative: From all the additional features only used cleanweb, which I have to admit is pretty nice when trying to avoid ads.

Summary: At first, I didn’t believe that having a VPN would help me solve this problem, but surprisingly it worked. You have to look for less crowded servers, but it’s easy to spot them, so it’s not such a big issue. On another note, I have only tried streaming on Hulu (it was able to pass the regional block), but I haven’t tried it with other sites yet.

Positive: Reduces ping when gaming and works smoothly on Playstation. Allows accessing Hulu streaming site.

Negative: Some extra features are not very useful in my case.

Summary: Been using Surfshark VPN for more than a year now, I had some ups and downs, but overall the ups outweigh the downs. I wanted something easy to use and understand, cheap, and have at least 5 devices you could log in (as I was planning on sharing that account with my roommate). I thought that Surfshark was worth looking into, and in the end, I got their subscription. Everything worked fine, but there were some issues with speed in the beginning, now I have to say it improved a lot, so I can torrent a movie in a couple of minutes.

Positive: Unlimited device logins, user-friendly, helpful customer support

Negative: The speed was a bit slow before, but now it has been improved, hopefully, it stays this way

Summary: Since I’m not a fan of paying to streaming platforms, but I wouldn’t want to get a fine for torrenting as well, I decided it was time to get a VPN. My main criteria was one that would allow torrenting, so Surfshark was one of the options, but what got me, in the end, was their low price. Free streaming works, torrenting works, can’t complain about the price, so far so good.

Positive: Allows torrenting and P2P. Strong encryption and secure protocols.

Negative: Noticed a bit of speed drop when I torrent, but I suppose that

Summary: My experience has just been great. I love using this and watching everything not available where I am!

Positive: It's super easy to use, really easy to understand, and it works! I love that it's an extension and I can turn it off and on really easily.

Negative: I literally can't think of any. You can't really connect via more than 1 country it seems. It has also automatically turned back on after a session when I didn't want it to.

Summary: Good benefit-cost ratio, was surprised to see many features offered by the pricier VPNs included in this one. You can't choose a specific server to connect to, just the country (and city in some cases), which is good enough for me. Streaming speed has been great so far, using it for Netflix, Amazon Prime and Hulu.

Positive: Relatively cheap for amount of features offered; blocks ads; works w/ Netflix, Hulu and Amazon Prime.

Negative: Server choice limited to country, can select city in some cases.

Summary: Overall great VPN service which truly works to watch any streaming content from all around the world and actually changes the IP location of the users.

Positive: Surfshark is strong VPN which unblocks almost every geographically blocked service of any country through its large servers network.

Negative: Although VPN service of Surfshark is great but the recently launched smart DNS service is useless and doesn't works at all.

Summary: Surfshark is a great reliable VPN service with appreciable speeds and has wonderful solution for network security and privacy.

Positive: The virtual private network by Surfshark is fast and provides reliable network security as compared to other competitors. It has been a great source of online privacy for me.

Negative: Auto connect feature on device wakeup doesn't work properly for android TV app.

Summary: Overall I am a satisfied customer of Surfshark VPN as it always provides secure connection with great speeds for my online activities. It also has a decent numbers of servers and locations, so we can choose any locations as per our requirement.

Positive: Surfshark VPN has all the functions required for a modern and effective VPN service and that too at a nominal price as compared to other pro VPN services. It has well organized and easy to use applications for all type of devices and provides all type of modern VPN protocols.

Negative: FireTV version of Surfshark VPN application needed to be updated and function of whitelisting need some improvement.

Summary: Overall Surfshark is a good buy and comes with very much decent features in affordable prices. Speeds and security and availability on all operating platforms are also one of positives in Surfshark VPN.

Positive: Surfshark is new in the market of VPNs but still provides best features and will compete with the old giants in the market. The price is also very reasonable and specially 2 years subscription at discounted price is really eye catching for SurfShark VPN. Wireguard protocol is another plus added recently by the Surfshark and provides maximum security and connection speeds with ease.

Negative: The issue I faced and notified to customer services of Surfshark too is about split tunneling of applications in TV applications, as they don't detect all the installed apps for white listing purposes.

Summary: It offers multi-platform app support. The server as fast and has many different country servers. No logs are saved. Intuitive built and UI. A layer of protection to block trackers. Easy to connect to VPN servers.

Positive: SurfShark is a handy VPN tool to protect your online privacy. It offers super-fast servers to connect to a tunnel of security. It helps to eliminate and block the trackers from stop being watched by others.

Negative: It worked great for me. Nothing to share about cons.
