Surfshark Pro Tips and Shortcuts
After testing Surfshark for over two years, here are my best tips.

Características ocultas que la mayoría de la gente pasa por alto
- Multisalto dinámico: Routes your internet traffic through two different VPN servers for extra security. Find it under Advanced Settings in the Surfshark app. Great when you need maximum online safety.
- Bypasser (Split Tunneling): Surfshark’s Bypasser feature lets you select apps and websites that bypass the VPN connection. Perfect for keeping banking apps on your local connection while everything else stays encrypted.
- Modo Sin Fronteras: Surfshark offers a NoBorders feature that lets you access the internet securely in regions where VPN use is restricted. It activates automatically when it detects network restrictions.
Surfshark Common Mistakes to Avoid
Error n.° 1: No activar el interruptor de apagado.
❌ Incorrecto: Leaving the kill switch disabled and browsing without protection when your VPN connection drops unexpectedly.
✅ Derecha: Enable the kill switch in VPN settings so your internet connection stops automatically if the VPN disconnects. This prevents your real IP address from leaking.
Mistake #2: Always Connecting to the Same Server
❌ Incorrecto: Manually picking the same server every time, even when it’s overcrowded and slow.
✅ Derecha: Use the quick connect button to connect to the fastest server near you. Or run a speed test to compare different server locations before choosing.
Mistake #3: Using the Wrong VPN Protocol
❌ Incorrecto: Leaving the VPN protocol on OpenVPN when you need faster speeds for streaming.
✅ Derecha: Switch to WireGuard in advanced settings for the fastest speeds. Users can switch between different VPN protocols like WireGuard and OpenVPN depending on whether speed or security matters more.
Surfshark Troubleshooting
Problema: La conexión VPN se interrumpe constantemente.
Causa: Your internet connection may be unstable, or the selected server is overloaded.
Arreglar: Switch to a different server using the quick connect button. Try changing your VPN protocol from OpenVPN to WireGuard. Make sure your firewall isn’t blocking the Surfshark app.
Problema: Velocidad de Internet lenta al estar conectado
Causa: You may be connected to a distant or congested VPN server.
Arreglar: Use quick connect to find the fastest server near your actual location. Switch to WireGuard protocol for better speeds. Run the built-in speed test to compare different servers.
Problem: Streaming Service Detecting VPN
Causa: The streaming service has flagged the shared IP address you’re using.
Arreglar: Try connecting to a different server in the same country. Clear your browser cookies and cache. Consider upgrading to a Dedicated IP for reliable access to streaming services.
📌 Nota: If none of these fix your issue, contact Surfshark support.

Preguntas frecuentes
¿Cómo utilizo Surfshark VPN?
To use Surfshark VPN, first create a Surfshark account on their website. Then download Surfshark on your device — it’s available for Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, and iOS. Open the Surfshark app, log in, and click the quick connect button to connect to the fastest server. You can also browse or search for specific countries or cities to connect to via the Locations tab.
¿Cómo puedo saber si mi VPN Surfshark está funcionando?
Check the Surfshark app — it should show “Connected” with a green indicator. You can also use the built-in IP Address Checker to confirm your IP address has changed. For a deeper check, run the DNS Leak Checker to make sure no data is leaking outside the encrypted connection. If your IP and DNS both point to the VPN server, Surfshark works correctly.
¿Cómo usar una VPN para principiantes?
Using a VPN is simple. Download a VPN app like Surfshark, create an account, and tap the quick connect button. The VPN routes your internet traffic through an encrypted server, hiding your IP address and protecting your online privacy. You don’t need any technical knowledge — the Surfshark VPN app handles everything automatically once you press connect.
¿Dejas Surfshark activado todo el tiempo?
Yes, leaving Surfshark on at all times is recommended for maximum online safety. The auto connect feature keeps your VPN connection active whenever your device is on. The kill switch feature ensures your internet connection stops if the VPN drops, preventing any data leaks. Surfshark allows unlimited simultaneous connections, so running it on all devices costs nothing extra.
Is Surfshark a good VPN to use?
Yes, Surfshark is a good VPN with strong features at an affordable price. It offers unlimited simultaneous connections, 3,200+ VPN servers in 100 locations, and a no-logs policy. Surfshark VPN protects your privacy by routing your internet connection through its private servers. Many users ask “how does a VPN work?” — it encrypts all data between your device and the server, making your browsing invisible to outsiders. It’s a top VPN provider that includes extras like antivirus, breach alerts, and a private search engine — features most competitors charge extra for. You’ll recognize the Surfshark logo — a friendly shark icon — across all apps and browser extensions.
How to get the best out of Surfshark VPN?
Use the quick connect button to always connect to the fastest server. Enable CleanWeb to block ads and trackers automatically. Turn on the kill switch and auto connect in your VPN settings for constant protection. Install Surfshark on all your devices — including your mobile device, smart TV, and desktop — since it supports an unlimited number of connections. Switch to WireGuard protocol for the best speeds.
¿Cuál es el mejor protocolo para Surfshark VPN?
WireGuard is the best VPN protocol for most users because it delivers the fastest speeds with strong encryption. OpenVPN is a good backup if WireGuard is blocked on your network. IKEv2 works well on mobile devices because it reconnects quickly when switching between Wi-Fi and cellular. You can change protocols in the advanced settings of the Surfshark desktop app or mobile app.
¿Cuánto cuesta Surfshark al mes?
Surfshark’s most economical option is the 24-month plan at $1.99/month. The 12-month plan costs $3.19/month, and the monthly plan is $15.45/month.

Higher-tier plans like One ($2.49/month) and One+ ($4.19/month) include antivirus, alerts, and data removal tools.
¿Es Surfshark seguro para realizar operaciones bancarias?
Yes, Surfshark is safe for banking. It encrypts your internet traffic with AES-256 encryption, which is the same standard banks use. The kill switch prevents any data exposure if your VPN connection drops. For banking, consider using a Dedicated IP so your bank doesn’t flag unfamiliar IP addresses. Surfshark VPN is especially useful for online banking on public Wi-Fi networks.
¿Pueden rastrearte con Surfshark VPN?
When connected to Surfshark, your internet service provider and websites cannot see your real IP address or track your online activity. Surfshark operates a strict no-logs policy, meaning they don’t store any records of what you do online. For extra protection, use Dynamic MultiHop to route your connection through two servers, or enable Rotating IP to change your IP address periodically.
Will I be charged roaming if I use a VPN?
No, using a VPN does not affect roaming charges. Roaming is based on your mobile device’s cellular connection, not your VPN server location. However, using Surfshark while de viaje can save you money on online shopping by masking your location to find better deals. The VPN uses your existing internet connection and simply encrypts the traffic passing through it.
