Shorter plans are much pricier, with a single month costing $12.95. However, VPN deals often crop up where Surfshark drops below $2 a month.

Surfshark's biggest draw is its price, and without any special deals, the 2-year plan comes in at an excellent $2.49 a month.

In my comprehensive Surfshark review, I'll run down the key features that make Surfshark a tempting provider, and why it's so popular amongst both new and experienced users. With a healthy 3,200 servers in 100 locations, industry-standard AES-256-GCM encryption, a wide range of protocols and a generous unlimited simultaneous connections policy, on paper there's a lot to like – but in practice can it live up to the hype? And, in a recent merger with Nord Security, the Netherlands-based provider has now got some serious financial clout behind to it supercharge its development. Founded in 2018, Surfshark is still something of a new kid on the block, but in those four years it has rapidly grown to become one of the most highly rated and widely recommended services in the VPN industry.
