Surfshark VPN: how many simultaneous connections are allowed?

At the head of a beautiful infrastructure of more than 3,200 servers located in around a hundred countries, Surfshark has consolidated a vast community of Internet users thanks to its seriousness and creativity. Today considered one of the best VPNit is one of the rare providers to allow a more than generous number of simultaneous connections.

Acquired by Nord Security in 2022, Surfshark intends to maintain its independence as a VPN provider. Still established in the Netherlands, a state whose law very strictly governs the right to digital privacy, the service continues its development with great innovations in the field of cybersecurity.

Finding a fair balance between essential features, bonus options, performance and usability, Surfshark successfully limits concessions and could thus overshadow free VPNs. In order to satisfy as many users as possible, it supports the most popular desktop and mobile operating systems, and even offers configuration tools for equipment not compatible with its software clients. Versatility put at the service of security for all and without compromise, while the Dutch provider frees itself from the limits of simultaneous connections usually imposed by its competitors.

Simultaneous connections allowed by Surfshark

The least we can say is that Surfshark does not do half-heartedly when it comes to its cross-platform coverage. Available on Windows, macOS and Linux, it also works on mobile devices (Android and iOS), distributes extensions for Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and, more generally, all browsers developed on Chromium (Opera, Brave, Vivaldi , etc.), develops applications for Android TV and Amazon Fire TV.

In order to allow its subscribers to benefit from VPN security in all circumstances, Surfshark includes the list of (too) few providers to be authorized an unlimited number of simultaneous connections. In other words, users of the service can enjoy the service on all their devices at the same time, without conditions or additional costs.

Surfshark: how to increase the number of authorized devices?

While Surfshark does not impose a limit on simultaneous connections, some devices or other Internet-connected devices do not support VPN client applications or software.

The provider has therefore taken care to provide its subscribers with manual VPN configuration tools on non-compatible equipment, such as game consoles (PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo Switch), connected TVs (Smart TV, Apple TV), routers and Internet boxes.

Better yet, by protecting the entire home network (Surfshark on a router or an Internet box), Internet users can also protect other equipment without an interface, such as their lighting, their speaker or their connected fridge.
