First launched in 2018, Surfshark VPN jumped into a cut-throat industry full of fierce competition. Surprisingly, they have not only survived their first couple of years, they seem to be making a name for themselves. In this Surfshark review, I want to look at what sets them apart and compare this new kid on the block with the established VPN players.

First things first, they offer a number of standard VPN features that you'll find in many other VPNs like ExpressVPN, NordVPN, VyprVPN and others. These including things like:

✅ VPN Kill Switch;
✅ AES 256 Encryption;
✅ Live Chat 24/7 Support;
✅ 1000+ servers in 60+ countries;
✅ Zero-log policy (so they say);
✅ Multiple connection protocols;
✅ Apps for most devices (Android, iOS, Mac, Windows, Fire TV, Linux, etc.);
✅ 2-Factor Authentication

But honestly, every VPN should have these features, so that's not something to praise Surfshark VPN for.

There are a few features, however, that are fairly unique to Surf shark. These include:

✅ Double-Hop VPN: As an added security feature, Surfshark allows users on all platforms to connect on what’s known as a “double-hop” server. Basically, this means that you’re routing your connection through two VPN servers instead of just one, which increases your security and makes it harder for your location to be traced.

✅ SmartDNS: Surfshark offers SmartDNS! This is a huge benefit for those users who want to add a VPN to Apple TV which, unlike Amazon Fire TV, doesn’t offer dedicated VPN apps.

✅ Unlimited Simultaneous Connections: If you’re a family, this is a feature you’re going to love. While most services only allow you to connect 3-6 devices on one account simultaneously, Surfshark removes those restrictions. Now each member of your family can connect their phones, tablets, computers and TVs without any problems.

✅ Split Tunneling (“Whitelister”): Surfshark is one of the few apps that offers VPN split tunneling, a feature that lets you choose which apps or websites get directed through the encrypted tunnel. Sadly, it’s only available on Windows and Android (Apple doesn’t allow this kind of feature on its devices yet).

✅ GPS Override: This is a cool feature I haven’t seen in many other apps that overrides your phone’s GPS coordinates. It’ll mess you up if you want to call for an Uber, but if you want to watch YouTube TV, this feature will be your best friend. (only available on Android, unfortunately)

 So the million-dollar question: Is Surfshark worth it?

Hopefully you’ve seen in this review of Surfshark what makes the service unique. It shares many of the same features that you’ll find in other virtual private networks, but it seems to do them better.

On top of that, it gives you access to a number of different features you won’t find with other services. This includes SmartDNS, Whitelister (split tunneling), CleanWeb and many more.

Finally, if you’ve done your research and compared other competitors like NordVPN or ExpressVPN, you know by now that they are significantly cheaper.

So yes…Surfshark offers amazing value and is definitely worth it.

Give them a try and if you don’t agree with me, get your money back within 30 days.
