Nobody can see what you do online.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here&#8217;s the simple version:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you connect to a Surfshark VPN server, it masks your IP address. Websites see the VPN server&#8217;s IP addresses instead of yours. Your ISP can&#8217;t track your web traffic or browsing history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Surfshark app works on Windows, <a class=\"wpil_keyword_link\" href=\"https:\/\/fahimai.com\/best-password-manager-for-mac\" title=\"Mac\" data-wpil-keyword-link=\"linked\" data-wpil-monitor-id=\"92103\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Mac<\/a>, iOS, Android, and Linux. It also has browser extensions for Chrome and Firefox. You can even use it on Apple TV and smart TVs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unlike most VPN providers, Surfshark offers unlimited simultaneous connections. That means you can install Surfshark on all your devices with one account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Surfshark encrypted connections use AES-256 encryption. That&#8217;s the same standard governments use. Your network traffic stays private.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.kb-image8c8b12_eb9ccf .kb-image-has-overlay:after{opacity:0.3;}<\/style>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-kadence-image kb-image8c8b12_eb9ccf size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/fahimai.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Untitled-design-1-60-1280x687.png\" alt=\"Surfshark homepage\" class=\"kb-img\" title=\"\"><\/figure>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedbtn.kb-btns137317_0edc8e-89{padding-top:var(--global-kb-spacing-xs, 1rem);gap:var(--global-kb-gap-xs, 0.5rem );justify-content:center;align-items:center;}.kt-btns137317_0edc8e-89 .kt-button{font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;}.kt-btns137317_0edc8e-89 .kt-btn-wrap-0{margin-right:5px;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedbtn.kt-btns137317_0edc8e-89 .kt-btn-wrap-0 .kt-button{color:#555555;border-color:#555555;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedbtn.kt-btns137317_0edc8e-89 .kt-btn-wrap-0 .kt-button:hover, .wp-block-kadence-advancedbtn.kt-btns137317_0edc8e-89 .kt-btn-wrap-0 .kt-button:focus{color:#ffffff;border-color:#444444;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedbtn.kt-btns137317_0edc8e-89 .kt-btn-wrap-0 .kt-button::before{display:none;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedbtn.kt-btns137317_0edc8e-89 .kt-btn-wrap-0 .kt-button:hover, .wp-block-kadence-advancedbtn.kt-btns137317_0edc8e-89 .kt-btn-wrap-0 .kt-button:focus{background:#444444;}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-advancedbtn kb-buttons-wrap kb-btns137317_0edc8e-89\"><style>ul.menu .wp-block-kadence-advancedbtn .kb-btn137317_40e85c-1c.kb-button{width:initial;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedbtn .kb-btn137317_40e85c-1c.kb-button{background:#ff7700;text-transform:uppercase;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedbtn .kb-btn137317_40e85c-1c.kb-button:hover, .wp-block-kadence-advancedbtn .kb-btn137317_40e85c-1c.kb-button:focus{color:#ffffff;background:#ff7700;}<\/style><a class=\"kb-button kt-button button kb-btn137317_40e85c-1c kt-btn-size-xlarge kt-btn-width-type-auto kb-btn-global-inherit  kt-btn-has-text-true kt-btn-has-svg-true  wp-block-button__link wp-block-kadence-singlebtn\" href=\"https:\/\/fahimai.com\/get\/surfshark\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"kt-btn-inner-text\"><strong>Try Surfshark now<\/strong><\/span><span class=\"kb-svg-icon-wrap kb-svg-icon-fas_arrow-right kt-btn-icon-side-right\"><svg viewBox=\"0 0 448 512\"  fill=\"currentColor\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"  aria-hidden=\"true\"><path d=\"M190.5 66.9l22.2-22.2c9.4-9.4 24.6-9.4 33.9 0L441 239c9.4 9.4 9.4 24.6 0 33.9L246.6 467.3c-9.4 9.4-24.6 9.4-33.9 0l-22.2-22.2c-9.5-9.5-9.3-25 .4-34.3L311.4 296H24c-13.3 0-24-10.7-24-24v-32c0-13.3 10.7-24 24-24h287.4L190.9 101.2c-9.8-9.3-10-24.8-.4-34.3z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 id='who-created-surfshark'  id=\"boomdevs_3\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Who Created Surfshark?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Vytautas Kaziukonis<\/strong> started Surfshark in 2018.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He wanted to make online privacy affordable for everyone.

No other premium VPN offers this. Install Surfshark on your phone, laptop, tablet, and smart TV without paying extra.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Save money on online privacy:<\/strong> Surfshark&#8217;s two-year plan costs just $1.99\/month. That&#8217;s one of the cheapest options available among VPN services. You get a day money back guarantee too.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Stream shows from anywhere:<\/strong> Surfshark can unblock Netflix, <a class=\"wpil_keyword_link\" href=\"https:\/\/fahimai.com\/best-vpn-for-hulu\" title=\"Hulu\" data-wpil-keyword-link=\"linked\" data-wpil-monitor-id=\"92123\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Hulu<\/a>, Disney+, and BBC iPlayer.

Surfshark VPN Core<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>At its heart, the Surfshark VPN connection engine is built for speed and security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It supports VPN protocols like WireGuard, <a class=\"wpil_keyword_link\" href=\"https:\/\/fahimai.com\/openvpn\" title=\"OpenVPN\" data-wpil-keyword-link=\"linked\" data-wpil-monitor-id=\"92125\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">OpenVPN<\/a>, and IKEv2. The OpenVPN protocol is great for security. WireGuard gives you the fastest speeds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Surfshark&#8217;s servers run on RAM-only hardware. When a server restarts, all data gets wiped. This protects your internet connection at a deep level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The split tunneling feature lets you choose which apps use the VPN. The split tunneling feature is called &#8220;Bypasser&#8221; in Surfshark&#8217;s Windows app. You can route some VPN traffic through the tunnel and let other apps bypass it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Surfshark also offers obfuscated servers that hide your VPN traffic. Surfshark&#8217;s Camouflage Mode disguises VPN traffic as regular internet traffic. This helps in countries that block VPN services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group tip-box is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\ud83d\udca1 <strong>Pro Tip:<\/strong> Use the WireGuard protocol for the best download speeds.

Here&#8217;s what you should know:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Encryption:<\/strong> Surfshark uses AES-256 encryption. This is military-grade security. No one has ever cracked it. Surfshark encrypted connections keep your data safe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Privacy Policy:<\/strong> Surfshark&#8217;s privacy policy states they don&#8217;t log your browsing history, session information, or network traffic. Surfshark only logs IP addresses for a maximum of 15 minutes after a session ends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Audits:<\/strong> Surfshark has undergone independent audits by Cure53 and Deloitte. Both confirmed the no logs policy is real. Deloitte audited them again in 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Company Location:<\/strong> Surfshark is based in the Netherlands. This is mostly good for privacy. However, the Netherlands is part of the Nine Eyes alliance. That&#8217;s worth knowing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Extra Security:<\/strong> Surfshark provides a feature called MultiHop that routes traffic through two VPN servers. The Dynamic MultiHop feature allows users to create custom server pairings. This adds double protection to your VPN connection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>My take:<\/strong> I trust Surfshark with my data. Multiple independent audits confirm what they claim. The RAM-only servers mean your data can&#8217;t be stored long-term. Surfshark encrypted connections are rock solid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group con-item is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u26a0\ufe0f <strong>Warning:<\/strong> No VPN can make you 100% anonymous online.

And the upload speed dropped more than I wanted when uploading client files. But the overall experience was solid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Would I use it again?<\/strong> Yes. I&#8217;m keeping my Surfshark subscription. The savings alone make it worth it. I installed Surfshark on every device I own.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.kb-image4b8644_88f5fe .kb-image-has-overlay:after{opacity:0.3;}<\/style>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-kadence-image kb-image4b8644_88f5fe size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/fahimai.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Secure-your-internet-connection-in-Surfshark.png\" alt=\"Surfshark Personal Experience\" class=\"kb-img\" title=\"\"><\/figure>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedbtn.kb-btns137317_0edc8e-89{padding-top:var(--global-kb-spacing-xs, 1rem);gap:var(--global-kb-gap-xs, 0.5rem );justify-content:center;align-items:center;}.kt-btns137317_0edc8e-89 .kt-button{font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;}.kt-btns137317_0edc8e-89 .kt-btn-wrap-0{margin-right:5px;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedbtn.kt-btns137317_0edc8e-89 .kt-btn-wrap-0 .kt-button{color:#555555;border-color:#555555;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedbtn.kt-btns137317_0edc8e-89 .kt-btn-wrap-0 .kt-button:hover, .wp-block-kadence-advancedbtn.kt-btns137317_0edc8e-89 .kt-btn-wrap-0 .kt-button:focus{color:#ffffff;border-color:#444444;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedbtn.kt-btns137317_0edc8e-89 .kt-btn-wrap-0 .kt-button::before{display:none;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedbtn.kt-btns137317_0edc8e-89 .kt-btn-wrap-0 .kt-button:hover, .wp-block-kadence-advancedbtn.kt-btns137317_0edc8e-89 .kt-btn-wrap-0 .kt-button:focus{background:#444444;}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-advancedbtn kb-buttons-wrap kb-btns137317_0edc8e-89\"><style>ul.menu .wp-block-kadence-advancedbtn .kb-btn137317_40e85c-1c.kb-button{width:initial;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedbtn .kb-btn137317_40e85c-1c.kb-button{background:#ff7700;text-transform:uppercase;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedbtn .kb-btn137317_40e85c-1c.kb-button:hover, .wp-block-kadence-advancedbtn .kb-btn137317_40e85c-1c.kb-button:focus{color:#ffffff;background:#ff7700;}<\/style><a class=\"kb-button kt-button button kb-btn137317_40e85c-1c kt-btn-size-xlarge kt-btn-width-type-auto kb-btn-global-inherit  kt-btn-has-text-true kt-btn-has-svg-true  wp-block-button__link wp-block-kadence-singlebtn\" href=\"https:\/\/fahimai.com\/get\/surfshark\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"kt-btn-inner-text\"><strong>Try Surfshark now<\/strong><\/span><span class=\"kb-svg-icon-wrap kb-svg-icon-fas_arrow-right kt-btn-icon-side-right\"><svg viewBox=\"0 0 448 512\"  fill=\"currentColor\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"  aria-hidden=\"true\"><path d=\"M190.5 66.9l22.2-22.2c9.4-9.4 24.6-9.4 33.9 0L441 239c9.4 9.4 9.4 24.6 0 33.9L246.6 467.3c-9.4 9.4-24.6 9.4-33.9 0l-22.2-22.2c-9.5-9.5-9.3-25 .4-34.3L311.4 296H24c-13.3 0-24-10.7-24-24v-32c0-13.3 10.7-24 24-24h287.4L190.9 101.2c-9.8-9.3-10-24.8-.4-34.3z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 id='final-thoughts'  id=\"boomdevs_20\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Final Thoughts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Get Surfshark if:<\/strong> You want a fast, affordable VPN that works on all your devices with no limits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Skip Surfshark if:<\/strong> You need the fastest possible upload speeds or want a VPN outside the Nine Eyes alliance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>My verdict:<\/strong> After 90 days of testing, Surfshark earned its spot as my daily VPN.

Surfshark has undergone independent audits by Cure53 and Deloitte. Both confirmed its no logs policy. Surfshark&#8217;s privacy policy is transparent. They use AES-256 encryption and run RAM-only Surfshark servers. Your data gets wiped every time a server restarts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"margin-top:25px;margin-bottom:10px;font-size:25px;font-weight:600\">How much does Surfshark VPN cost per month?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Surfshark pricing starts at $1.99\/month for the 2-year plan. The 1-year plan costs $3.19\/month. The monthly plan costs $15.45\/month. Surfshark offers a one-month subscription for $15.45, which is considered pricey compared to longer-term plans. The two-year plan is the best deal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"margin-top:25px;margin-bottom:10px;font-size:25px;font-weight:600\">Is Surfshark better than NordVPN?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It depends on what you need. Surfshark is often compared with NordVPN and ExpressVPN as a budget alternative. While NordVPN has more servers and is slightly faster, Surfshark offers better value for money with unlimited device connections. NordVPN limits you to 10 devices. Surfshark offers unlimited connections for less money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"margin-top:25px;margin-bottom:10px;font-size:25px;font-weight:600\">Can you be tracked with Surfshark VPN?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s extremely difficult. Surfshark hides your real IP address and encrypts all your VPN traffic. They don&#8217;t keep logs. The same IP address is shared among many users, making tracking harder. For extra protection, use the MultiHop feature which routes your connection through two VPN servers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"margin-top:25px;margin-bottom:10px;font-size:25px;font-weight:600\">Is Surfshark safe for banking?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes. Surfshark uses AES-256 encryption which protects your banking data. The kill switch stops your internet connection if the VPN drops. For banking, I recommend using a dedicated IP address to avoid getting flagged by your bank&#8217;s security systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\">\n{\n  \"@context\": \"https:\/\/schema.org\",\n  \"@graph\": [\n    {\n      \"@type\": \"Review\",\n      \"@id\": \"https:\/\/www.fahimai.com\/surfshark-review\/#review\",\n      \"itemReviewed\": {\n        \"@type\": \"SoftwareApplication\",\n        \"@id\": \"https:\/\/www.fahimai.com\/surfshark-review\/#software\"\n      },\n      \"author\": {\n        \"@type\": \"Person\",\n        \"name\": \"Fahim Joharder\",\n        \"url\": \"https:\/\/www.fahimai.com\/author\/fahim\/\"\n      },\n      \"publisher\": {\n        \"@type\": \"Organization\",\n        \"name\": \"FahimAI\",\n        \"url\": \"https:\/\/www.fahimai.com\/\"\n      },\n      \"datePublished\": \"2026-04-04\",\n      \"dateModified\": \"2026-04-04\",\n      \"reviewRating\": {\n        \"@type\": \"Rating\",\n        \"ratingValue\": \"4.4\",\n        \"bestRating\": \"5\",\n        \"worstRating\": \"1\"\n      },\n      \"positiveNotes\": {\n        \"@type\": \"ItemList\",\n        \"itemListElement\": [\n          {\"@type\": \"ListItem\", \"position\": 1, \"name\": \"Unlimited Connections: Connect all your devices with one account.
