Surfshark

The best VPN we've tried! Stable and efficient. We have used Surfshark for a number of months now, and are very happy with it.

Doesn't always work

Everday I find Surfshark will not display certain web pages or takes a long time to load the page. Not all the time. Just some of the time. I also find that certain web sites where I have to log in (like my Bank) will not even allow me access to log in because it thinks I'm not from the Country I am actually in. I have to switch it off or spend time setting up the Bypass facility and/or navigate without VPN. I think why do I bother having a VPN if I have to switch it off. Apparantly Surfshark is one of the better ones hmmmm.

Still find it frustrating when trying to connect to certain Web sites which block me as they say I'm out of the country.

Best VPN on the planet

I have been using the Surfshark services from last 4 years and can't think of any other app to replace. Best pricing, best features, best VPN, best of all the apps and services they offer. Top of it, their customer service is top notch and on time. No lags or delays. Reachable any time and resolved my issues instantly.
