Review by our expert
With VPNs, you tend to get what you pay for. So when I saw Surfshark’s low prices, I was skeptical about its rave reviews. To see if it could actually live up to these claims, the team and I tested every aspect of Surfshark, including its speeds, security features, streaming abilities, network reliability, and device compatibility.
Can Surfshark be trusted? It can, and it is. The Financial T...

Fast, reliable and unlimited
This VPN is fast and reliable. It has a lot of servers in different countries and can be used in an un... limited amount of devices (it supports Linux, which is something very important for me). The software and app get updated regularly: note that I experienced some bugs with the auto-connect feature on Android that have been solved since then. With this competitive pricing, I would definitely recommend it.
IMPORTANT NOTE: I am not including the customer support in this review, because I never had to use it. If I use it in the future, I will update this review with my experience. I recommend you to see other reviews that include it if it is important for you.More

Frustrating Experience with Surfshark - A Cautionary Tale
I’ve been a Surfshark customer for quite some time, but my experience with their service over the last... few months has been nothing short of frustrating and exhausting. After dealing with endless issues and subpar support, I feel it’s only fair to share my experience so that others can make an informed decision.
The Problems
I initially encountered serious issues with Surfshark’s version 5.13, which simply didn’t work properly. Rather than providing a real solution, the support team suggested I roll back to an older, less secure version, which obviously wasn’t a feasible option. And when version 5.14 was released, there were no guarantees that it would work smoothly either. This lack of reliability left me in the dark and without proper protection for my devices. As a user who’s been comfortable with VPNs for years, I expected better. Instead, the issues with Surfshark went far beyond just software bugs. The app had such a significant impact on my system’s configuration that I had to fully reinstall Windows twice, losing hours of my time in the process. After the system crash caused by the software, I found that I couldn’t even log in to my PC properly, rendering it unusable.
2. Port 443 Miscommunication
Another issue arose around port 443. Initially, Surfshark’s support team claimed that my port was closed, which would have been a security issue. However, after conducting tests and providing photo evidence, I proved that the port was actually open. The support team’s initial miscommunication and failure to acknowledge this only added to my frustration.
3. The Toll on My Health
Beyond the technical problems, this entire ordeal has had a significant impact on my health. I suffer from anxiety and panic attacks, and the constant stress of trying to get this issue resolved has caused me to lose sleep and even feel physically ill at times. The level of support - or rather, the lack of it - has only made things worse. In the end, I decided to part ways with Surfshark. Despite having paid £70.96 for two years of service, I feel like I’ve received far less than I paid for, especially given the extensive downtime and constant problems. I reached out to Surfshark asking for a partial refund for the 18 months that I couldn’t use the service properly. Unfortunately, they flatly refused to even consider it. This lack of accountability speaks volumes about their disregard for customer satisfaction.More

Speedify offers ways to improve your live streams that you won’t find in many other VPNs. It lets you combine several connections to improve speeds and provide fallbacks if one connection faces issues. You can merge mobile, WiFi, ethernet, and even Starlink connections.
It’s a good option for heavy live streamers but costly and falls short in a few areas. Speedify’s server network is sma...

Does what it proclaims, Well
The frustration of losing a game to a dropped connection is slowly becoming history.
I had real dif... ficulties finishing a round in 1 game. Because wifi signals seem to "float", the signal strength fluctuates & sometimes games don't allow for time-outs to reconnect so you die. They've figured out how to keep a smoother signal strength going by using multiple signals.
Exactly what I needed.
The only reason it loses 1 star with me is its price. 1 device fits my needs but 2g doesn't go very far. Since I have a reliable vpn & this is the 1st I found it's likely there are others. Time will tell if I will upgrade or unload it. Maybe if there was more than just unlimited use + additional device keys it would be more tempting.
Bottom line
Great product but a little pricey for my needs. However, if I had 5 devices to cover it would be quite reasonable @ the annual pricing.

Free version is now totally crippled and useless
The free version is useless - you can't manually select server location, and the app will automaticall... y select a local server for you (which basically means you can't use a foreign one, and no foreign internet service could be accessed).More
