What's the point
Looking to have more privacy in my browsing and be more protected on public networks I got a VPN. I did my research and found surfshark to be the best value VPN by numerous sources. Now that I have it I wonder what the point is- the connection is spotty at best, in fact I have to disconnect my VPN daily to load websites and if I turn it back on the website freezes again. Additionally netflix can now detect when a VPN is running and sometimes does not allow playback while your VPN is up, yet another scenario you have to disable the VPN and lose any protections you might actually get from it. Also the VPN takes up extra battery life and for some reason some days it seems like it is transferring a lot more data than it should be which really drains the battery. What you want in a VPN is to not notice it or think about it ever while it protects your online privacy and security however this has not been my experience with Surfshark. I am left wondering what the point is if I have to turn off the VPN to access websites daily due to connectivity issues or websites that can detect VPNs. Even on a good day I often have to disconnect and reconnect to the VPN multiple times because my connection has stalled. On top of this some days it causes me to get 25% less battery life because Surfshark is mysteriously transferring a lot of data.
Easy & Effective
Great VPN service that delivers exactly as advertised. Being self taught on computers and programs and assembly I find this to be of ease to use. Easy to setup on mobile device and computers, and running both a Windows and iOS computer in my home it works effortlessly on both devices. I enjoy the ability to use the VPN in other locations and see information even web pages I may not see on local settings. Many people shop for value or just fly with a “name” brand. Do a little research as I did and you will find this VPN to be one of the better ones that do as they say, privacy and ease of use just to start. I have recommened to family and friends and they are surprised and pleased with the ease of install and setup, not to mention peace of mind to your privacy.
The best VPN Out there
I travel a lot for work, and both for being able to enjoy contents from my region, and to add a further layer of security, I have tried many VPN services during the years. I switched to Surf Shark after reading some articles as well as some review about the software, but I was attacted also by the fair price. The software has a simple and easy to use interface, works well and keeps on getting better. The best feature? The customer support: I had some issues with the software due to the ISP I am using, and they quickly responded me and helped me until the issues were solved, meanwhile other people I know using the same ISP, cannot connect to the web via their VPN services. I use the software on a Windows, but also on my mobile device, and they quickly helped me with spot on instructions. So to Emma, Ruth and all customer support personnnel out there: thank you for your great work, professionality and rapid responses!! It is nice to see that you guys care and clients do appreciate it!
Satisfaction, followed by frustration
Six months ago, if my memory serves me right, I wrote a comment, highly thinking of Surfshark, which, during its trial and early early days since my two-year subscription, had been working very well, fast connection, fast speed. Thing started to go down, all abruptly, nearly fifty days ago. No more connection with whatever protocol. Of course help was asked for to its team, which responded at a fantastic speed and heart-warming patience, but, sorry to say, the issue remains untackeld, after all sorts of solutions provided, as you can imagine. No I have simply shifted to Letsvpn, occationally using Hotspot shield of its free version, which I suscribed to for one year before Surfshark. The fact is, I have removed Surfshark from my Windows, seeing it making me real unhappy when thinking my subscription won't expire till Feb 2023.
I want to like it but...
First the good: I had no problem downloading from the App Store and installing it. It connects quickly and easily. Read the full review below. I've updated it. Now the not so good: it slows down website unbearably. Some sites refuse to load at all; others load at the "dial up speed" you may remember from the past. Some websites load quickly. I have a superfast connection that works flawlessly, unless Surfshark is connected. When it is on, expect delays. Wish I hadn't bought a longterm contract. I received the message below from Surfshark. I adjusted the settings and this seems to have resolved the problem of delays. I still don't know why the setting that said that SS would use the best setting wasn't giveing me the same response. Surfshark responded to your review of "Hello! I would highly recommend connecting with different protocols in this case - you can find them in the App - Settings - Protocol. Wireguard or OpenVPN UDP will speed things up so give it a shot and in case the problems would persist our Support team is available 24/7 via Live Chats so don't be afraid to reach out!"
