Club Benefits
Surfshark has just launched its dedicated Vega OS app, meaning you can now install one of the best VPNs on the latest Amazon Fire TV devices – including the 4K Select Fire Stick.
You can download the best cheap VPN to protect your data from hackers, and unlock geo-restricted streaming content.
Three tiers of plan
Surfshark has three tiers of subscription. All come with an additional three months of VPN protection and a 30-day money-back guarantee. Each plan unlocks extra features, and you can decide which tier suits you best. The two-year plan represents the best per month value, but you will pay more upfront.
You can explore all plans in detail on our Surfshark prices and plans page.
- Surfshark Starter: $1.78 per month ($48.06 upfront, pre-tax)
- Surfshark One: $2.08 per month ($56.16 upfront, pre-tax)
- Surfshark One+: $4.18 per month ($112.86 upfront, pre-tax)
A great VPN for streaming
Surfshark has consistently been one of the best streaming VPNs. Thanks to its Vega OS update, you can stream your favorite shows on even more devices. Whether it's Apple TV, Amazon Fire TV, the Apple App Store, or Google Play, head to your app store of choice and search for Surfshark.
In our testing, Surfshark unblocked US Netflix and Disney+, Amazon Prime Video in the UK, along with its regional services BBC iPlayer and Channel 4. It had no trouble with Netflix and Disney+ in Canada and Japan. It unblocked all regional services in Australia and New Zealand, as well as Disney+ in both countries.
Surfshark isn't perfect however. It failed to unblock Amazon Prime Video in all regions except the UK. Many VPNs have been struggling with Amazon Prime Video recently, so Surfshark isn't alone here.
It also failed to unblock UK Netflix and Disney+. Surfshark has successfully unblocked these services in the past, so we'd expect this failure to be a blip.
Cheap yet powerful
At all levels, Surfshark is a powerful VPN. Core VPN features include post-quantum encryption support, multi-hop, split tunneling (Surfshark calls it Bypasser), and a kill switch. There's also Alternative ID, which allows you to generate a fake online alias.
It implements the WireGuard protocol as standard, but launched its own proprietary protocol, Dausos, in April 2026 – which claims to be 30% faster and grants users their own VPN tunnel.
Speaking of speeds, Surfshark is capable of exceeding 1,000 Mbps when using WireGuard and Dausos, with OpenVPN speeds a very respectable 825 Mbps.
There's 4,000+ servers in 100 countries and 142 locations worldwide, and Surfshark is beginning to roll out 100 Gbps servers for even better performance.
Surfshark is a class leader when it comes to privacy and security. All of its servers are RAM-only, meaning any stored data is wiped upon shutdown. There's also very little data stored in the first place, with Surfshark successfully passing a second independent no-logs audit in June 2025.
Antivirus, scam alerts, identity theft insurance, and the Incogni data removal service are just some of the features included in Surfshark's premium plans.
It's not the most customizable, lending itself more to casual VPN users, but Surfshark blends power, performance, and affordability, and is a great VPN choice.
We test and review VPN services in the context of legal recreational uses. For example: 1. Accessing a service from another country (subject to the terms and conditions of that service). 2. Protecting your online security and strengthening your online privacy when abroad. We do not support or condone the illegal or malicious use of VPN services.
