How to use Surfshark VPN | Easy Surfshark tutorial

surf shark has a lot to offer and if you

want to find out how to use it well then

you've come to the right place hey i'm

mike from cybernews.com and i'm going to

show you how to get the best out of the

surfshark vpn app for 2021 and 2022 and

how to set up all the important features

in fact i've got the app opened right

now so let's take a closer look

alright at first glance the surfshark

vpn window app is looking simple enough

right one button for a quick connect or

a list of servers to use which is

actually what i prefer but something i

want to quickly mention with surfshark

is its unlimited connections deal one

account is enough for the whole family

and you can define family however you

want now i'm gonna run through the

navigation real quick and get into the

surf shark vpn tutorial okay

first steps really easy you can download

surfshark from this page just choose the

version you need the surfshark pc

version in this case and then proceed

with the installation

honestly the whole surf shark vpn setup

is really straightforward

after you install surfshark the next

step is to log in if you don't have a

subscription yet well you can use a

surfsharkvpn free trial account for

seven days you can create it via an

android ios or mac device plus surfshark

accepts your anonymous payments for

those of you looking for that

okay we're logged in and we've already

seen this main window okay now here's a

list of different locations to choose

from and a quick connect button that

brings you to either the fastest or

nearest server

and this is just a sneak peek of what

surfsharkvpn app has to offer okay and

even those servers have a little bit of

interesting info about them see

surfshark has over 3 200 servers all of

them ram only meaning they can't retain

the data that passes through them sure

it's not as many servers as nordvpn or

cyberghost but it's more than expressvpn

and definitely enough for most of your

activities

okay now if you notice those little

buttons above the server list well those

are for dedicated servers so if you

don't want your ip to change with each

connection static ip servers fulfill

that purpose and multi-hop servers can

chain your connection between multiple

vpn servers for increased security and

while you won't get impressive speed

results in that case surf shark is quite

fast by default i've done multiple surf

shark speed tests in different countries

all over the world and the speed never

felt lackluster the 20 speed drop being

the worst that i've encountered and for

an average user losing 20 percent of

your speed is not going to be noticeable

at all

now since i use a vpn for a lot of

bandwidth heavy stuff like gaming and

streaming performance is a big deal for

me honestly it's been one of the fastest

vpns i've tested

and seeing how fast it is it's no wonder

that in 2019 surf shark got the av test

seal of approval in streaming and

security categories oh talking about

security what can you configure there

well the first thing you can customize

in the surfshark 2021 app is the

tunneling protocol and through that the

encryption the main difference is that

conventional protocols like openvpn or

icv2 are mostly focused on security

their aes 256-bit encryption is the

golden standard known to be unbreakable

at the moment however wireguard is an

innovative protocol that upholds good

security and speed so besides the

future-proof cha-cha 20 cipher wire

guard also provides one of the fastest

connections available in a vpn alright

another thing to configure is the kill

switch which is turned on by default

it's ready to totally cut your internet

connection should the vpn break it

basically keeps your details from

leaking so

not going to turn it off are you

surfsharkvpn also has a clean web

feature you can always configure if you

want to get rid of ads and malicious

links in your browser

this feature literally blocks it all so

much so i can finally enjoy youtube ads

free

now here's the bypasser feature where

you can use this to customize which apps

and websites to connect to the vpn i

especially like to use this when

torrenting and a lot of people also use

it for their banking and with surfshark

you know what else won't affect you

internet restrictions enforced by

governments or companies thanks to its

no borders mode surf shark can bypass

deep packet inspections and other

methods used by more restrictive

countries to detect vpn connections with

surfshark not even ccp can tell you what

to do there's also a nice little gps

spoofer it's a great feature for masking

your physical location but it's only

available on the surf shark mobile app

um yeah the android one so keep that in

mind and on the privacy side surf shark

has a time proven no logs policy so it

won't release any info about you to

anybody and if that wasn't enough

surfshark recently released their own

antivirus bundled with a private search

engine and leak alert wow they sure seem

concerned about your security don't they

all right with all of these features

you'd assume surf shark was priced a

little bit higher than some of the other

vpns given all their achievements and

features as well

yeah that is not quite the case at worst

surf shark has an average price tag

similar to that of nordvpn ipvanish or

expressvpn but where the price becomes

really appealing is with their longer

term subscription plans and as a proud

user of the longest surf shark

subscription plan myself well let me

tell you you will not be regretting this

deal it's honestly one of the best in

the industry

but

look i'm not here to push you take a

look at the app for yourself there's a

7-day trial and there's a 30-day

money-back guarantee so no risk and when

you do decide to pull the trigger

remember we also have discounts

available to save you even just a little

bit more all you got to do is click the

youtube link on the side of your screen

for the best deals to date they're all

going to be there

okay now i can't have a search shark

review without mentioning one of its

biggest benefits geoblock bypassing

basically it manages to access multiple

netflix libraries no matter where i

might be and i can even run it on my

fire stick and smart tv surfshock has

both a feature to extend its reach to

incompatible devices and the apps for

devices which can run it

there is no doubt surf shark is a very

good service and it's super easy to use

the only downside i can really think of

is that some features are not available

on all the platforms but other than that

surf shark provides all the security you

need be it basic or advanced and it's

got top-of-the-line performance all

right i hope this better explains all

things surf shark let me know in the

comments below oh and while you're there

you can also mention anything else you'd

like us to cover next alright that's a

wrap and i'll see you again in the next
