Stream, surf and shop safely: Now 83% cheaper with Surfshark

There is really no reason not to still use a VPN. A “Virtual Private Network” switches one or more servers between you and the respective Internet service. This has two main effects:

1. Your IP address can no longer be seen by the Internet service. As a result, you can no longer be tracked so easily through the Internet. And so when shopping, surfing, streaming or gaming: Your privacy is much better protected.
2. You can choose your location (almost) freely. For example, you want to see a series that is only available on Netflix USA? Then you simply connect via a suitable VPN server in the USA and you have access.

The Holiday Sale at Surfshark runs until December 31st. Here you get an 83 percent discount for the next two years. So you actually pay only 1.95 euros per month – instead of the regular 11.43 euros per month. Surfshark also packs you three free months on top:

Surfshark offers three major advantages over most of its competitors:

• There is no limit on the number of devices. So you can connect as many smartphones, tablets, notebooks or streaming sticks as you want via the VPN. Most competitors have a cap on five to ten devices.
• Compared to the competition, Surfshark is with the current offering unbeatable cheap. Either you have to cut back on the features – or pay significantly more money.
• There is one Live support in German, who can be reached from Monday to Sunday. For many competitors, support is only available in English.

A big question mark when using VPN is always the speed. This year, Surfshark upgraded its servers at the 26 most important locations from 1 GBit / s to 10 GBit / s. You can find an overview of the locations here – in Germany, Frankfurt and Berlin are on the list. This is perfect for demanding applications, such as high-resolution video streaming.

Surfshark is currently available via app for Android and iOS. There are also clients for Windows, macOS and Linux as well as browser extensions for Chrome and Firefox. FireTV support is also available. The secure protocols IKEv2, OpenVPN and WireGuard® are supported.

As mentioned at the beginning, Surfshark hides your IP address. For this purpose, the provider uses 3200 servers in 65 countries. For increased security, there is also a MultiHop mode, in which your connection runs across several countries at the same time. The obligatory kill switch is also available: if the VPN connection breaks down, your internet connection is automatically disconnected so that your privacy is never endangered.

Speaking of privacy: Surfshark has a strict no-log policy: No user data is saved from you. In addition, the VPN provider filters out advertising, trackers and malware for you while surfing and protects you from phishing attempts. The bypass is also convenient, with which you can allow certain apps, websites or IP addresses to bypass the VPN. So you don’t have to disconnect the connection manually if you want to use a service without VPN.

For a surcharge, you can also book Surfshark Alert, Surfshark Search and Surfshark Antivirus. The former is a notification service should user data from you have leaked. The second is a private search engine, the latter a virus scanner for Android and Windows. In the “Surfshark One” package, you get all three services for 1.32 euros per month.
