My Experience with SurfShark VPN Service - Is It Worth It?

Surfshark is the vpn to go for streaming.

Surfshark is fast and stable

alwyas having customer support issues

Surfshark is budget friendly

Surfshark is cheap but it is sometimes slow. Express vpn is a better choice IMO.

Loading speed of surfshark is better then others

I use it for mainly for Prime Video, It streams like Lamborghini.

The speed drops are annoying when you’re streaming or downloading something big. I’d also like to buy proxy IPs for a static address. Surfshark doesn’t offer that yet unfortunately.

I have surfshark but dont use much,anyone who wants can take it from me at a good price

I’m never coming back because it would constantly drop my game connection. I just kept on getting worse. I’ve got 2 years left on it though :frowning: Switched to PIA and my ping is far far lower.

I moved from PIA to Surfshark about 5 years ago (renewing it once after contemplating trying other VPNs). Other than not being that reliable when accessing Amazon Prime videos (which I don’t really use often), I didn’t have any major complaints until the past week or so. Some of the countries I frequently connect to have seen some heavy performance degradation (to unusable level - ping over 1000ms, transfer rate in the 0.xx Mbit), sometime outright disconnecting me. This wasn’t always the case, and there were instances in the past where I’d forget to disable it while FPS gaming, and I did not even notice it, but the past week hasn’t been good.

For the price I think that it is great value as long as it work, but if this is the new normal, I am going to have to start looking elsewhere.

I have had SurfShark for a couple of years and it has performed well. It’s time to renew and they offered me the usual discount to do so… Only $2.49/mo plus six extra months. BUT wait… the total came to $44.82? That means the extra six months are not really EXTRA…they are just added on at the same price!! Iit’s really just an 18 month subscription but it’s made to look like some special deal.

Now… I like the product and I don’t think the price is unfair…but I don’t like scams or deceptions and I think this qualifies as both… since there are multiple products that offer essentially the same services at the same price, I guess I’ll go shopping. My advice to Surfshark is to fire your marketing people and get some people who respect your customers. We’re not stupid. It’s a good product at a fair price …why not sell it on that basis?

Dangerously unreliable. They killed my service twice for “abuse.” No idea why and they won’t tell me. They just took the money and ran. Worked with many VPN services and never heard of anything like this. Can’t afford that lack of dependability if I’m in a place where I need a VPN and it suddenly locks me out. Going back to express.

Update OPdedicated IP

Surfshark is a garbage company that you should avoid at all costs.
There was no easy way to cancel your account, I had paid for mine on a creditcard that had expired and was to let the account die when the next bill got declined. HOWEVER, Surfshark then somehow billed my paypal without my permission. I never gave them may paypal, and had never paid them anything from that account. I spent weeks emailing “support” trying to get them to tell me how they did it but they just stone walled me. They claimed they’re refunding the money but I haven’t seen it yet. I’m about to escalate it with paypal to demand they refund the money. I HIGHLY recommend you don’t used SurfShark. They are a garbage company. God help you if you ever have a problem.

This product is absolutely trash. I was lured in by the price and once installed I’ve nothing but problems. It doesn’t work on my iMac and at times disconnects me from the internet. I have tried reinstalling per customer care but to no avail. I was 1 week past 30 days so I have to take a loss per the no refund policy. What a gip. At least I could speak with a human on their competitors team. I am sooooo disappointed.

Sufshark for me is bad VPN.

Just wondering can I access let s say netflix us when im not in us using surf shark? I ve been using nord vpn before, thankfully no problem but the only thing that annoys me is I cant watch some streaming sites that ban my country from watching their content (youtube when they stream AFC, cant access it in my country change to another country server still not working- try to watch some korean volleyball in naver after switching to kr server and still doesnt work).

so which one should we use for port forwarding?

which one would you recommend?
