Surfshark: An affordable VPN service packed with features

Good privacy, no device limits, and tons of extras-I'm sold.

- SAM SINGLETON

Surfshark (fave.co/42iGuVq) continues the trend of other mega-VPN services as a one-stop shop for all things related to personal online privacy and security. The company offers a top-tier VPN product that continues to expand and improve with each new iteration. And since its merger with NordVPN under the parent company Cyberspace, Surfshark is now developing cutting-edge personal security features via its Nexus network technology.

This all sounds great, but are all of these features really worth it in a VPN service? I took a deep dive with Surfshark to find out.

FEATURES AND SERVICES

What's new?

Since my last review, Surfshark has released a few significant new features. Everlink is touted as an “industry-first self-healing server infrastructure” that is designed to enhance VPN connection stability. It is a server backup system that reconfigures the VPN connection to another working server in the event of an unexpected problem on the server of your original connection. Think of it like a less disruptive kill switch feature that lets you carry on—privacy intact—like nothing happened after a disconnection.
