What the Community Says
Surfshark comes up a lot as a good-value VPN that’s easy to live with day to day. People like that it’s usually cheaper than the big-name alternatives, works well for streaming (Netflix, Hulu, YouTube TV), and lets you use it on unlimited devices, which is great for families or lots of gadgets. When it’s behaving, it feels fast and stable enough for regular browsing, streaming, and even torrenting with features like a kill switch.
The biggest complaints are about trust and reliability: some folks don’t love the company connections/ownership and get a “big VPN brand” vibe that makes them uneasy about privacy. Streaming can also be hit-or-miss depending on the service and region (some platforms detect and block it), and a few people run into frustrating account or billing issues like renewals not matching what they expected. Support and refunds can feel slow or rigid when something goes wrong, which is a pain if you need quick fixes.
