★★★★★ Santhosh Palla · Oct 10, 2026
Best VPN I ever used, safe and secure and offers solid protection on all my devices.
★☆☆☆☆ Diksha · Oct 10, 2026
Fraud company. I canceled my subscription in trial period and deleted my account. But they still charged me 5k for their subscription.
★☆☆☆☆ Slav de system · Oct 10, 2026
Worst update ever. On amazon stick and another devices can't choose localization by country. Was great now I must use keyboard. Seriously. Why. Was quicker and more friendly. Don't change application if works. All updates are worse and worst. Application which we paid should be for us... users not for developers. Frequently application inform me that my TV switched off surf shark... Strange. Only after stupid update.
★☆☆☆☆ K T · Oct 10, 2026
I purchased an annual membership for Surf shark after trying it for a month in China without any problems. After I changed to an annual plan, it completely stopped working. I reached out to support, but they said that due to me being in China, there was nothing they could do and that they would not provide me with a refund. I wouldn't recommend Surf shark even if I hadn't been in China due to poor customer service and that Express VPN is better and still affordable.

Description by Surfshark B.V. Written by the developer, not by AppBrain. Click to read.
Surfshark is a secure VPN and online security app that helps everyday Android users protect their internet connection, block ads and trackers, and reach content from other countries. One subscription covers unlimited devices — phones, tablets and Android TV — with 4,500+ servers in 100+ locations. It's built for people who want a fast, private internet connection without learning anything technical.

Why choose Surfshark?
✓ Unlimited devices on one account — protect the whole household.
✓ 4,500+ servers in 100+ locations, including a USA VPN and UK, Japan, Germany, Brazil, India.
✓ Ad blocker built in — no second app to install.
✓ Post-quantum WireGuard and a proprietary protocol for a fast VPN connection.
✓ Set-and-forget: one tap connects, auto-connect keeps it on.

Private and secure by default
• Secure VPN encryption hides your traffic from your internet provider, network owners and snoopers
• Public Wi-Fi protection — connect at airports, hotels and cafés without exposing logins or card details
• Ad blocker stops ads, trackers and malicious pages, so pages load faster and fewer companies profile you
• Data leak monitoring alerts you if your email, ID or card shows up in a breach, so you can change passwords early
• Personal data masking creates alternative details for sign-ups, keeping your regular email out of marketing lists
• Phone number masking gives you a spare number so your regular one stays private
• Text message protection flags phishing links in your messages before you tap them
• Antivirus and email scam checker catch malware and fake messages
• Web content blocker, Dynamic Multi Hop, Rotating IP and Dedicated IP for advanced control

Common questions
Can I use Surfshark on all my devices?
Yes. One subscription covers unlimited devices at the same time — Android phones, tablets, Android TV, laptops and more.

Does Surfshark work for streaming while travelling?
Yes. Connect to a server in your home country to reach the streaming platforms and websites you already pay for while abroad.

Is Surfshark a fast VPN?
Surfshark uses WireGuard and its own protocol for high-speed connections built for HD streaming, gaming, and large downloads.

How do I set up Surfshark on my Android phone?
Install the app, sign in, and tap Connect. Auto-connect can turn the VPN on automatically whenever you join an unknown Wi-Fi network — no manual setup needed.

When to use it
→ On public Wi-Fi — airports, hotels, cafés, campuses
→ Traveling — reach your home country's content and services abroad
→ Streaming and gaming — a fast, secure VPN that keeps speeds high
→ Family devices — cover everyone's phones and tablets with one plan
