Surfshark review

Surfshark ranks fifth for its device policy: one subscription covers unlimited devices, which matters in a home with several gaming PCs, phones and an Apple TV. Its App Store listing describes 4,500+ servers in 100+ locations, unlimited bandwidth with no throttling, and a fast protocol stack built on post-quantum WireGuard plus Surfshark's own protocol. Everlink reconnects automatically if a connection drops, and advanced users get Multi Hop, rotating IP and dedicated IP options. For gaming, the useful parts are IP masking against targeted attacks and changing location to reach another region, while the ad blocker and data leak monitoring are general privacy extras. On the US App Store a year costs $47.99, about $4 a month, and a single month $10.99. Like other privacy VPNs it encrypts all traffic, so it is the wrong tool if your only goal is lower ping, and there is no free plan.
