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.

"Surfshark. Buy 2 years for a great deal, unlimited devices. I'm on my 3rd year now."
"...port took a long time to reply by weeks. It only left me the option of the cheap and more versatile Surfshark. Plus, it has unlimited device uses. I appreciate the advice ya'll gave me but this was the best option for not wasting my time an..."
"Yes, I switched from Mullavad to Surfshark. The main reason was that no websites that I actually use would work with Mullavad without trying a bunch of different servers. I’ve rarely had this happen with SS. You can also connect unlimited..."
"Agreed! I am also on a two year subscription with SurfShark, and the service sucks. Lesson learned, as I also am with ExpressVPN as well and that is working great thus far. Won’t be renewing at all with them once my term ends. I also beli..."
"Horrible support! Don't buy SurfShark VPN. Pretty much as the title says: **My experience with Surfshark support has been nothing but painful. They respond like bots, ignore clearly provided information, and in the end just say whatever ..."
"Hey @Surfshark @SurfsharkHelp, why do you advertise "Unlimited Devices" but block my account for setting up my home devices in Venezuela? Ticket 7257867: 2FA enabled, single residential IP, and you still refuse to unblock or refund. This is False Advertising!🚩 #Surfshark #VPN https://t.co/Q8oNPyDHon"
