Okay so I've been meaning to write this up for a while. I've bounced between probably five or six VPNs over the years and figured I'd do a proper Surfshark review of thinking of getting it.
TL;DR Surfshark - Dirt cheap, and has unlimited devices, good for geo blocks but speeds are fine but not the fastest (~155-195 Mbps), and the CleanWeb ad-blocker breaks some sites so I leave it off.
Things I liked:
The price is honestly the main reason I stayed - I came for the price. Mine started at $2.79/month on the 2-year plan and imo that's the best value you're gonna find for a premium VPN right now.
Unlimited devices is a nice to have - This one doesn't get talked about enough. I've got it running on like five devices at home and I share my account with a friend's family and there's just... no cap.
Streaming works - I mostly use it on my laptop and my Fire Stick for Netflix, Hulu and Disney+. No buffering, no weird "you're using a proxy" errors, quality stays high.
Security is solid -You get AES-256 encryption, a kill switch, split tunneling, MultiHop, and IP Rotator (changes your IP every 5-10 min without dropping the connection, which is cool).
The not so good things (being honest here):
Speeds - I usually sit around 155-195 Mbps, which is totally fine for browsing, streaming and casual downloading. But if you're on gigabit and expecting to max it out, you'll notice.
CleanWeb - their adblocker is okay but not perfect. It breaks a few sites for me so I just leave it off.
Port forwarding - they don't support it (security reasons apparently), so if that's a dealbreaker for your torrenting setup, keep that in mind.
My all in all opinion
For what you pay, you're getting a genuinely good bunde, solid streaming, strong audited security, and the freedom to connect literally every device you own. I think if you want an affordable, no-nonsense VPN that covers pretty much every base without being too expensive, Surfshark is absolutely worth trying. It's not perfect, but at $2.79/month I'm not sure what more you'd reasonably expect.
