Why do you need a VPN?

Enhance your security

By encrypting your traffic, a VPN protects you from a range of cyberattacks. It’s especially useful if you use public Wi-Fi, which poses more threats than your home network.

Overcome oppressive censorship

Some oppressive governments heavily censor internet use. A VPN can help you overcome these restrictions and enjoy the best that the World Wide Web has to offer.

Protect your privacy

Surfshark pairs secure encryption with a strict no-logs policy to keep you safe from advertisers, ISPs (Internet Service Providers), and any other third party looking to profit from your data.

Improve online gaming

Online games can leak just as much precious data as surfing the web — use a VPN to prevent this. Protect yourself from data leaks, DDoS attacks, and ISP throttling when gaming.

Reduce price discrimination

Some websites use your location and cookies to tailor prices for their goods or services. With a VPN, you can avoid these marketing practices and save a buck when shopping online.

Stream content safely

Not only does a VPN keep you private when you’re watching your favorite shows online, but it can also help overcome ISP throttling. The result is a secure and buffer-free viewing experience.

How does a VPN work?

A VPN encrypts your data and hides your IP address by sending your traffic through a VPN server before it reaches the internet. This encryption protects your data from snoopers and intrusive third parties, while the changed IP makes it seem like you’re visiting from the VPN server location rather than your home.

Creates a secure connection

By connecting to the internet with a VPN, you establish a secure virtual tunnel between your device and the internet via a VPN server. This tunnel is then used to transfer all your internet traffic.

Changes your IP address

Once your internet traffic goes through the VPN tunnel, your IP address changes. Instead of seeing your IP address, the websites you visit see the IP address of the VPN server.

Encrypts your data

A VPN encrypts all your traffic to ensure the tunneling process is secure. The encryption hides your data under a code so no third parties can access your sensitive information.
