Surfshark Starter is the VPN's entry-level plan. Thanks to our exclusive deal, $1.78 per month is the lowest monthly price it's ever been.

Affordable pricing doesn't mean Surfshark should be overlooked. It's one of the best VPNs around and balances performance, power, and privacy.

Its no-logs policy has been independently audited, and it has recently introduced post-quantum encryption via its WireGuard protocol implementation. It launched the Dausos protocol earlier in April, and the protocol aims to boost speeds by 30% – it's also quantum secure.

Our latest speed tests saw Surfshark peak at 1,021 Mbps, making it one of the fastest VPNs. It's a decent streaming VPN, unblocking US Netflix, BBC iPlayer, and Disney+, and you can protect an unlimited number of devices on one plan.

Its UI design is consistent across its desktop and mobile VPN apps, and using it should be no trouble for beginners.

Any downsides?

Surfshark isn't the most customizable VPN. If you're an experienced VPN user, or someone who likes tinkering with settings, you may find Surfshark a little basic. Private Internet Access may be more up your street.

While it's good for streaming, Surfshark isn't great. It did struggle to unblock some Netflix regions, as well as Amazon Prime Video. If you're looking for unrivaled streaming power, consider NordVPN or Proton VPN.

However, all the VPNs mentioned above cost more per month than Surfshark. So if you're looking for a premium VPN at an unbelievable price, Surfshark could be for you.
