About this app

Protect yourself with Surfshark, a secure & fast VPN app!

Does Surfshark offer a free VPN trial?
Surfshark offers a free 7-day trial on supported devices, allowing users to test VPN performance and key security features before subscribing.

STAY PRIVATE ONLINE EASILY

✔️ Why use Alternative ID, Surfshark’s email generator?
Surfshark’s email generator Alternative ID creates an alternative email address you can use online. It helps keep your primary email private when signing up for services and reduces unwanted exposure and data leak risk.

✔️ How does Surfshark VPN app keep your data private?
Surfshark VPN secures your IP address and online activity by encrypting your internet connection. It uses modern VPN protocols, including WireGuard, OpenVPN, and IKEv2, to protect traffic from third parties.

✔️ Does Surfshark track what I do?
Surfshark operates under a strict no-logs policy, which was independently audited by Deloitte in 2025, and does not track, collect, or store user activity, providing protection wherever the VPN is connected.

TRAVEL AND ACCESS CONTENT SAFELY

✔️How does Surfshark help you access content safely?
Surfshark secures your viewing experience by encrypting your connection and masking your IP address. This helps you access content safely and limits visibility by networks or third parties. Changing your virtual location also allows you to access your home library while abroad.

✔️ Why is Surfshark VPN good for travelers?
Surfshark encrypts your connection on public Wi-Fi networks such as hotels, airports, and cafés while you travel. By changing your virtual location, you can access services typically available in your home country, such as online banking or streaming platforms, without exposing your real IP address.

PROTECT YOUR DEVICES FROM ADS, VIRUSES AND MALWARE

✔️ What features does Surfshark Antivirus have?
Surfshark Antivirus offers real-time protection from viruses and malware, customizable device scans, and webcam protection to block unauthorized access. It also removes harmful files before they can damage your system.

✔️ How does Surfshark’s ad blocker work?
Surfshark’s ad blocker blocks ads, pop-ups, and trackers. It also blocks access to known malicious domains, helping reduce exposure to harmful websites.

ENJOY AWARD-WINNING VPN SERVICE AND EXTRA FEATURES

✔️ How fast are Surfshark’s VPN servers?
Surfshark VPN operates a global network of over 4,500+ servers across 100 countries. High-capacity, fast 10Gbps servers support stable connections for everyday activities like browsing and gaming.

✔️ Can I secure unlimited devices with Surfshark VPN?
Surfshark supports unlimited device connections under one account. You can use VPN on phones, laptops, tablets, smart TVs, and other devices without limits, and protect your entire household with a single account.

✔️ What proxy features does Surfshark include?
Surfshark lets you use proxy servers for quick, lightweight location changes directly through the browser extension. This gives you a fast, simple way to mask your IP address without a full VPN connection.

Notice: VPN functionality is not supported on IPv6-only networks. Please ensure your device has IPv4 connectivity for full feature support.

Been using this for over 3 yrs and just renewed a couple of months ago. However, I've been getting more and more "access denied" for the sites I've frequent. It's kind of annoying and I need to switch off the VPN to go to those sites which defeats the reason I got a VPN in the first place. A couple of times after "reporting" the sites I was able to access the those sites but lately even that hasn't helped. It sucks that I'm stuck for another couple of years since I'm signed up for another 3 yrs.

Hey. Sorry to hear about the access issues you're facing with various sites. We recommend trying different servers in the Surfshark app and switching connection protocols by going to Settings -> VPN settings -> Protocol. If these steps don't help, please reach out to our support team at [email protected] for further assistance. We want to help.

I just bought a year's subscription (non-refundable). When Surfshark is connected, my emails often end up in the outbox for hours until I notice they're stuck. The only fix Is to disconnect Surfshark, then they go out immediately. Also, it's quite common for a web page to never load until I change the VPN location. Both of these are super annoying. Neither ever happened with other VPNs. I cancelled my account, but I can't get a refund.

the app was fine for many years, but as of the last update, I've been getting a crash 4s after launching and an error that says "something went wrong, check that Google Play is enabled and that you're using an up-to-date version (...)" app was working just fine before update. reinstalling, clearing data/cache does not help.
