From 5 stars to 1 star

From 5 stars to 1 star.
I was a satisfied costumer and now i'm leaving.
I was using wireguard protocol to Belgium server.
Then, out of the blue, I started to get IP's that were blacklisted all across the internet, forncing me to restart connections to get a new non-blacklisted ip.
I got fed up of this and bought a dedicated IP just to find out there is no Belgium dedicated server and no multiple connections via wireguard.
I ended up on a dedicated IP in the Netherlands and changed all my setup to use multiple OpenVPN connections for my dedicated ip.
Now they are changing the IP and my OpenVPN setup on all devices need to be re-configured.
Asked for no changes, they say is not possible.
Asked for a refund, they told me 30 days after payment have passed.
I'll move to a dedicated VPS somewhere else and will make my own wireguard server.
no need for unstable vpn providers

Reply from Surfshark

Hey, thanks for sharing your experience - we understand how frustrating this situation must be.

Just to clarify, all available Dedicated IP locations are shown before purchase so users can choose the option that best suits their needs. Dedicated IPs are also compatible with the WireGuard protocol, so they’re not limited to OpenVPN only.

Regarding the IP change, we completely understand how inconvenient it can be; however, in some cases, these changes are necessary to support infrastructure updates that ensure performance, security, and long-term reliability.

That said, we’d be happy to take a closer look at your case. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to us directly at miles@surfshark.com.

I started a bit mad...

I started a bit mad with the robot, but it sent me to a very helpful patient person in support. I had technical problems with a screenshot I should send her, but she waited with patience.
So in spite of my deficient English writing skills we solved the misunderstandings with a discount I was placed in view, but couldn´t get.

Stable & Reliable

Unlike the competitors (I have used a couple of them prior to Surfshark), Surfshark doesn’t dislodge and seems to be very stable. I highly recommend it & I am very happy with their survice.

Holden Blackstone

Holden Blackstone was incredibly helpful! I spoke to them about an issue, and in less than 5 minutes, it was solved, AND I came away better off than when I started. Thank you very much indeed!

This man deserves a raise …

Isaac was very Patient with me even when I became frustrated. It helped a lot that he was the person I was connected to when I left and returned later. Isaac was able to completely fix my issues. He has a good attitude and deserves a raise

Amazing Customer Support

I had several questions regarding my Surfshark VPN autorenewal. Kevin Scott was my customer representative. He was very polite and quick to offer me answers and options related to the questions I was asking about. All around a very positive experience.

I love Surfshark it really works

I love Surfshark it really works, and it's cheap. It's very easy to connect to any State, or Country. Lot's of different options on connecting you can also save your Country preferences. You can also scan for bugs too. I actually like connecting my VPN on YouTube also because I don't have to see political commercials in the United States. I also love the VPN on many other apps. Customer service I didn't need to contact because I have no problems.
