Club Benefits
Aside from having the coolest name of any VPN we can think of, Surfshark is genuinely one of the best VPNs on the market.
It's famous for being a great value alternative to other big names in the industry and often comes in at a fraction of the price.
Until April 19, Tom's Guide, along with our friends at TechRadar, have an exclusive deal that sees Surfshark drop to $1.78 per month – the lowest per month price we've ever seen – and throws in an extra four months for free.

Surfshark's best price
How good is Surfshark?
For the price, Surfshark is hard to ignore. It's fast, boasts decent streaming performance, and one subscription grants unlimited connections.
If you subscribe to Surfshark Starter, it's a fraction of the price of its rivals. NordVPN plans start at $3.09 per month, while ExpressVPN costs $2.27 per month.
However, Surfshark isn't perfect. It's has good streaming performance, but it's not flawless. It struggled with some Netflix regions in our testing, as well as Amazon Prime Video. It's also not the most customizable VPN out there. This is ideal for beginners, but if you're more experienced, you could find Surfshark somewhat limiting.
