Final Verdict

Surfshark is our best-value pick in 2025. It offers unlimited device connections, a fully RAM-only, 10 Gbps server network, and a modern feature set (Nexus with Dynamic MultiHop and IP Rotator, CleanWeb, and Android GPS override) while keeping long-term pricing extremely competitive. Monthly billing is steep and a few options vary by platform, but if you want fast WireGuard performance and privacy-first design for every device you own, Surfshark is a standout.

Overall Score: 9.3/10

We tested Surfshark across Windows, macOS, iOS, Android, and a couple of smart TVs. WireGuard connections were quick to start and stable over long sessions, and the unlimited device policy makes Surfshark ideal for families or power users with lots of gadgets.

Company Background and Privacy Stance

Surfshark is based in Amsterdam, Netherlands. The company operates a strict no-logs policy that has been independently assessed multiple times, most recently by Deloitte in June 2025. Its entire fleet runs on RAM-only servers, so data is wiped on reboot and nothing is written to disk.

Performance and Speed

With WireGuard, Surfshark delivers excellent day-to-day speeds. The provider upgraded its network to 10 Gbps ports globally, reducing congestion and improving peak-hour consistency. Nearby latency was low enough for multiplayer gaming, and 4K streaming worked reliably in our tests.

Security Features

Surfshark includes a kill switch, MultiHop (double VPN), and the Nexus suite. Dynamic MultiHop lets you create custom entry/exit pairs, while IP Rotator can change your IP every few minutes without dropping the tunnel. On Android, a GPS override feature aligns the phone’s GPS with your chosen VPN location—useful for apps that check both IP and GPS.

Streaming and Unblocking

Surfshark reliably accessed major services in our checks (Netflix libraries, BBC iPlayer, Disney+, Amazon Prime Video). If a particular server gets blocked, switching to a nearby location usually fixes playback within minutes.

Ease of Use and Apps

Apps are consistent and beginner-friendly, with Quick Connect, Favorites, and clear settings. A few advanced options (such as split tunneling) differ by platform, but setup is straightforward and connections are dependable.

Support and Customer Service

Live chat is available 24/7 and the knowledge base covers most setups. As with most VPNs, headline prices are on long-term plans; monthly billing is comparatively expensive. A 30-day money-back guarantee lets you try Surfshark risk-free.

Bottom Line

If you want a private, modern VPN you can install on every device without counting seats, Surfshark is hard to beat. It combines credible audits, useful Nexus features, fast WireGuard performance, and standout long-term value.
