Community Reviews

Surfshark Starter is a low cost VPN bundle that stands out for easy account extension, clean app design, and useful extras like email and phone aliases. The service works well for general browsing and travel, with solid download speeds and regular audits plus a no logs approach cited as strong value. The main drawbacks are occasional disconnects, setup retries, weak upload performance for torrenting, and speed drops on some connections. Geospoofing and bypass behavior also appear less reliable than top rivals, making it a practical budget pick with a few rough edges.

  • Surfshark can work well for everyday use and keeps the app experience clean.

  • Surfshark's alias feature supports email forwarding and phone number masking for privacy-focused workflows.

  • Surfshark can extend existing accounts by allowing checkout again to add additional subscription time.

  • Surfshark can provide strong download performance for torrenting while using the VPN.

  • Surfshark can disconnect randomly every 1-2 days during regular use.

  • Surfshark can require retrying multiple times before the connection works reliably.

  • Surfshark can deliver very poor upload performance for torrenting compared with alternatives.

  • Surfshark split-tunneling or bypass rules may not behave as expected because bypass traffic can still route through the VPN.

NordVPN has 100% cashback today on the big cashback site for new users. You will still pay taxes though.
What's the limitation for the cash back? It's not listed very clearly on the website.

Had this for a year or so mostly for torrenting. Had good download speeds but absolutely awful upload. Switched to Proton with port forwarding and its lightyears better.

you can check the Terms & Exclusions of each cashback.

It only applies to the basic VPN cost and not extra add-ons or upgrades.

Good VPN (not amazing, but solid).
This price is slightly better than Black Friday's in the past.

Been using Surfshark for a year now. Works great and the app is clean. Was a lifesaver when I was in Mexico for vacation and forgot about a work meeting I 100% needed to attend.
Does Mexico block the meeting apps, how did VPN help?

Many companies don't want their employees to work from overseas and block international IPs. A good vpn is a work around for that. - that's my best guess

How does this work in China?
You have to retry quite a few times to get it work. But from my experience, it does work most times.

We're in M365, and our work apps have conditional access policies to prevent overseas usage.

I see, I didn't think of that. Could you just go through your home network or work network for free with tailscale?

I'm not familiar with that app, but as long as you can pick a US city to connect into, it should work.
