They rest safe, knowing that reclaiming your privacy would be a long and annoying process. Here are the main points (which I didn’t realize there would be so many of until I had finished writing): But it doesn’t have to be – get Incogni to do it for you.I’m halfway through my two-year Surfshark subscription, so I thought I’d share my insights from over the past year. One of the cheaper options out there that make it to the list of best VPNs on most review sites. Got a 2-year deal plus 4 months free with a code from r/vpncoupons which amounted to $2.13 per month. There are loads of Youtubers and other influencers with their own codes but I wouldn’t be able to comment on what it would add up to with them. I use it on my iPhone, Mac and Windows laptop that I have set up with my TV via HDMI (my Smart TV isn’t that smart and doesn’t have an app store to download Surfshark directly onto it). I prefer the macOS app to the Windows one as they recently added the option to use Surfshark via the top status bar as opposed to the bottom dock bar. Also both the macOS and iOS apps show bubble icons next to servers that indicate how filled up they are, this option isn’t available on Windows you have to manually turn this feature on for Windows and Android. The only pro for the Windows app for me is the Whitelister (split-tunneling) which isn’t yet available on Apple devices. Wouldn’t be able to comment on the Android and Linux side of things. ![]() I always have Surfshark on in the background while browsing, streaming and torrenting. Speeds have consistently been above par, especially with the “fastest server” option (which in most cases results in Latvia on my end). ![]() Using the WireGuard protocol usually yields the best speeds. Just ran a speed test (via ), and the results with the VPN on were 96% of my usual download speed, and 95% of my usual upload speed (screenshots below). Ping is 13 as opposed to 10 without the VPN. These are really good results that even I was surprised with - 4-5% speed loss is a minuscule percentage.
