Surfshark has ended support for the IKEv2/IPsec protocol on Windows, thus resolving potential issues surrounding its use of self-signed certificates. I’m pleased to note that Surfshark now publishes a warrant canary and has, at the time of writing, received no US national security letters or gag orders, nor warrants from any government organisation. Although it remains less than clear what the practical legal implications of this are for a VPN that keeps no logs, it’s worth noting that the Netherlands is one of the “Nine Eyes” international government intelligence information sharing cooperative. Surfshark’s 2021 move from the British Virgin Islands to the Netherlands disconcerted a number of users. Retirement of IKEv2 for Windows closes potential security risk.Recent move to the Netherlands could have legal implications.It’s also worth noting that Surfshark requires you to contact its representatives via its live chat service if you wish to cancel a recurring subscription, as opposed to simply allowing you to do this from your account page. You can pay using cryptocurrency if you feel that would help to protect your anonymity. Meanwhile, while I’m not a fan of renewal price increases, this is still cheaper than most of Surfshark’s comparable rivals.
Not automatically listing VAT for the regional pricing you’re displaying is not normal for VPN providers – I’ve only seen it lately from Surfshark and its sibling VPN provider, NordVPN, and I can’t say I’m particularly happy with this approach to pricing.
SURFSHARK REVIEW FREE
Currently, the two-year subscription comes with an extra free month, taking it up to 25 months. Both of these renew as an annual subscription priced at £58.17. For new subscribers, an annual subscription listed at £39.63/$47.88 costs £46.61 and a two-year subscription listed at £44.10 costs £58.18 including VAT. This means that a monthly subscription to Surfshark listed as costing £10.72/$12.95 actually costs £12.60 every month if you’re in the UK. All prices exclude VAT until you get to the payment stage. Surfshark is cheap, but not quite as cheap as its main pricing page would have you believe. Most recently, its no-logging policy was audited in January 2023.
SURFSHARK REVIEW SOFTWARE
Users may connect an unlimited number of devices simultaneously it uses RAM-disk servers throughout its infrastructure and supports torrenting across all its servers.Īlthough it’s headquartered in the Netherlands, having moved from the more famously privacy-friendly British Virgin Islands, Surfshark has a clear no-logging policy, and the security of its software and systems is independently audited. Surfshark is a fast, media-focused VPN service with a solid emphasis on privacy.
