SurfShark VPN is an excellent choice for things like privacy, torrenting ( on selected servers ) because all users get unlimited bandwidth with no restrictions.
The VPN recently won the award "Virtual Private Network Solution of the Year” in the prestigious "6th annual CyberSecurity Breakthrough awards" and also updated their Linux app to V1.2 which now includes a Killswitch feature for Linux and no more IPv6 leaks.
Surfshark VPN was audited by "Deloitte" between 21 November and 02 December 2022 confirming their no-logs promise.
Deloitte is one of the Big four auditing firms and they said: “Based on the procedures performed and the evidence obtained, in our opinion, the configuration of IT systems and management of the supporting IT operations is properly prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with Surfshark’s description of its no-logs policy.” Read their complete report here.
What else is new in 2023 is the "Dynamic Multi-hop feature", which differs from the old MultiHop that offers a limited list of pre-set server duos. Now you can choose from more than 100 server country locations. Besides total customizability, Dynamic MultiHop will give you better security and will improve your speed. Read more here.
Valid for a limited time.
More servers added: Ghana, Saudi Arabia and Puerto Rico.
