Ratings and reviews

I just bought a year's subscription (non-refundable). When Surfshark is connected, my emails often end up in the outbox for hours until I notice they're stuck. The only fix Is to disconnect Surfshark, then they go out immediately. Also, it's quite common for a web page to never load until I change the VPN location. Both of these are super annoying. Neither ever happened with other VPNs. I cancelled my account, but I can't get a refund.

Been using this for over 3 yrs and just renewed a couple of months ago. However, I've been getting more and more "access denied" for the sites I've frequent. It's kind of annoying and I need to switch off the VPN to go to those sites which defeats the reason I got a VPN in the first place. A couple of times after "reporting" the sites I was able to access the those sites but lately even that hasn't helped. It sucks that I'm stuck for another couple of years since I'm signed up for another 3 yrs.

I've been paying fire a subscription for a few years, though. its handy when I need/want a vpn connection. the phone app has a lot of options, almost as comprehensive as the pc app. i would have given ot 5 stats but it gets 3 because I've been using it for a few days and noticed failed download messages in my browser. this is due to the vpn disconnecting and reconnecting on its own. unacceptable. now I have to check everything against what I intended to DL. it's not my ISP. it's surfshark.
