Granted I’ve only been using it for 3 months. But I’ve only had a couple of issues and support has been very helpful every time.
The best thing here is to contact customer service. If the problem can be solved they’ll be the best ones to ask.
I use them 2 years now. I have no problems at all.
Just waiting for the sub to end. It is so bad
I’ve used several VPNs over the years, and I would have to confess that Surfshark, from my experience, has not been the worst experience. There are many issues I have encountered over the years, but compared to 4 other VPN providers I tried, I feel more comfortable with this one. However, there are two VPN providers I used that have been a more stable experience (one mentioned below), but the price is significantly more. By the way, one has less servers, but the other is slower, despite both of them carry less issues.
As for the actual issues, the app can be faulty on Windows devices. Sometimes it will say that the service needs to restart but when it does the error message pops back up. Other times the app may crash. Sometimes the killswitch breaks. Some servers have DNS problems, but other times blocked by websites. I know how to fix these problems on my own in under 30 minutes if they happen, but the average person might be stuck with customer service for over an hour to get a particular issue resolved. For some, they feel that spending a little more for a VPN is better because you will have less problems, but you likely will have issues at some point in time with any provider.
Works fine. Has worked fine, continues to work fine.
The best VPN I’ve used is probably ProtonVPN, but they are double the price.
There are a lot of other ones I see recommended on reddit, but they typically specialize in 1 thing, like for streaming only, or browsing only, etc., so you end up signing up to 2, which is a PITA, and costs more.
What is the orher VPN you use?
Literally what you said, period.
I don’t mind paying extra money for more powerful VPN. But the problem is all powerful VPNs are heavily advertised like Nord and Express, which is something I don’t like!
I’m a former user of PIA for 3 years before it sold to another company, hands down best vpn I ever used, not a single 1 issue and it was fast as a bullet, too shame it bought by another company.
Captcha is often triggered from IP addresses that have a history of dubious activity. Obviously all VPN providers are (ab)used and therefore likely to trigger captcha. What sucks most is that the old Google picture captchas are still used so many places, when there are literally transparent solutions available from players like Cloudflare.
You know, more Mbps don’t actually make your internet “faster”, it makes it possible to move more data in the same amount of time. Latency is faster. It’s kinda like saying a bus is faster than a Ferrari as it can move 30 people, x distance, in y time, where the Ferrari can only move two people, same distance 3-4 times faster.
I can confirm having the same problems especially #1.
Please let me know if you find any legit service other than privacy .com
You know what’s really bad? the longevity. Sure we’ll find another provider but there’s absolutely no guarantee the app is gonna perform 100% for 2 years. My new strategy is to never subscribe to more than 1 year maximum even if they give me a killer deal for 4 year, because this how they put you in a trap, and scam you and take your money with no refunds.
They are spamming my email daily for a huge discount, not gonna fall for it, even if it was free!
Your own-own, or just reselling one of the white-label?
Thank God my subscription ended and now I’m on 2 more free months, gonna look for proton and other recommendations.
WVery likely chat GPT didnt ban you.
some people did nasty shit with the IP you got connected with on chatgpt and someone got the IP banned very likely asked how to make drugs or bombs or worse.
contact SS Support so they can swap the IP out and some point or do some rerouting or whatever.
Because surfshark is pure trash.
I do admit though it’s not as bad as it was before but I still get leaks so I have to keep checking, daily which I shouldn’t have too.
Same issue on NordVPN. I have to disconnect to use ChatGPT
