SurfEasy VPN Review 🔥 Is This VPN Worth The Money? | 2023 Review

greetings everybody hope you're doing

well so i've returned from the lab once

again

to review yet another of the many vpns

out there for you

my oil viewers and today riding the

biggest wave the ocean has to offer

is surf easy and surf easy is actually a

company owned

by a very well-known security outlet

known as semantic

and so with this review it is definitely

reasonable to say

that we'll be arguing semantics so

you may be asking yourself can how do

you determine what makes a good vpn and

the answer is

well we use the mount rushmore of vpn

awesomeness for things that any good vpn

should have

make sure that they are giving you value

for your money whether it be

the dollar crypto or whatever you're

doing bartering who knows these days

and number one is ease of use how easy

is the platform to use is it compatible

with a multitude of os's

and should you run into a problem what's

it gonna be like to deal with their

customer support

number two is security it's a virtual

private network of vpns so what are they

doing to make sure that while you are

surfing their network

you are doing it privately and safely so

your data is not exposed via leak

of your dns and whether they're locking

and keeping a record of what you're

doing

and what kind of encryption are they

using thirdly is performance speed is

everything these days so how fast is it

because it doesn't matter what you're

going to be doing with it if it's not

fast

then you may find yourself really really

disappointed dealing with all those lags

also trying to find out what things you

can do with it what can't you do with

this good for torrenting is it kind of

break through those geo blocks and geo

restrictions to get you

watching netflix and disney plus and

hulu and all those things

and finally value are they giving you

bang for your buck

do they have a free trial or a money

back guarantee to make sure that you can

give it a test spin and not be on the

hook for it

and of course if for some reason surf

easy

wipes out you know i will have a

recommendation for you so check the

description below

and of course if there are any discounts

deals or coupon codes that aren't

available on the website

i'll make them available to you as well

because saving money is cool so feel

free to take advantage of that if you

like

so kicking off the mount rushmore vpn

awesomeness when it came to ease of use

i did find that surf easy was

you know part of their name it was easy

to use whether it was using the app or

the desktop platform they are compatible

with a multitude of os's however

if you're planning on using it with a

router of some sort

you're not going to be able to do that

and they limit you to like five devices

or something like that which is actually

pretty common

one thing we did notice however when it

came to customer support

was that when we initially sent a query

in

there was nothing to indicate that our

request was received so

you know sometimes you'll submit

something on the website

and they'll send you an email reply

indicating your

ticket number or whatever it is and

they'll get back to you in a certain

period of time

there wasn't anything like that with

surf easy so the only way

we were certain to get a hold of them

was actually just email them

and they did respond rather quickly and

weren't knowledgeable but

it was quite a hoop to have to jump

through there so keep that in mind

when considering surf easy security wise

they use the standard

military-grade 256-bit encryption which

everybody uses it's the best

out there but one of the things we did

notice that when it came to the

log policy while they claim it's a no

log policy there were some instances

where they might if law enforcement came

knocking turn over

some information about your activity to

them if the situation weren't and don't

exactly go into the full details of what

that is so it's a little vague and a

little concerning but

overall they do say on the website that

they have a no log policy

and that just means that they're not

keeping a log of your whereabouts where

you surf where you go

which ip addresses you use and a lot of

things that actually

make the virtual private network much

less private

additionally we did not detect any leaks

or malware

and although many vpns out there don't

have this

there wasn't a kill switch in case for

some reason something drops out on your

end or on the server's end

you won't be exposed and have your ip

address just floating out there for

anyone to see

performance wise we all know that speed

is extremely important if not one of the

most important things because if it's

not fast then

everything else you're going to do with

it may not perform up to your standard

so with that in mind

the speed on surf easy was not that

impressive at all in fact it was quite

on the slow side which was a little

disappointing considering a number of

factors and so

when it comes to the ability to break

through geo blocks and geo restrictions

that prevent you from accessing netflix

and disney plus

and hulu and things like that surf easy

was for the most part able to do that

but there were a lot of lags related to

its ability to

keep up with the servers in those

various areas and

actually play things continuously and

similarly although they do support

torrenting

this is another area where the speed

kind of reared its ugly head

and although we were able to use it and

turned with it safely the speeds as i

said

did not make it a quick process and

although it is normal for your speed to

be

affected when you connect to a vpn it

shouldn't be affected to a noticeable

level

and with surf easy we definitely saw

those lags appear

value eyes surf easy does offer a free

version

but it's capped at 500 megabytes which

we all know uses up pretty quickly so in

a matter of hours

your free trial will be over no matter

which plan you do

use surf easy does include a 7 day money

back guarantee on all of its plans

no questions asked so if you decide to

go with them then you only have about

seven days to decide whether or not

it's for you and another thing to keep

in mind value-wise

is that only on the ultra plan which is

their highest tiered plan

do you start to experience some of the

features that you would get on

a lot of other vpns have a lot more

speed to their name

so overall stacking surf easy up to the

mount rushmore of vpn awesomeness i can

safely say that this big kahuna

wiped out somewhat big time and the

reasons being

most notably the fact that customer

support was difficult to get a hold of

so if you're a beginner it's going to

present a problem for you

and i always like to keep those

beginners in mind because if it's

difficult for you to get help then it's

very very frustrating

and that's something that we're trying

to help you avoid additionally the fact

that they only have email support

also played a big part in that as well

because i love the ability to at least

live chat if they don't have a phone

setup or some type of call-in center

which a lot of them to be honest don't

very least having the live chat

available is something where you can get

real-time access to answers to the

problems that you have because with a

seven-day money-back guarantee you

really don't have time to waste

but there are two vpns that i would

recommend

and depending upon your situation will

depend upon which one of these is going

to be best suited for you

and those vpns are expressvpn and

nordvpn

and if you've listened to previous

videos you know how much i love

express if you just want to get the best

out there go with express

continues to be in the lab the fastest

overall the benchmark

by which we test every other vpn out

there so if you've seen any of the

head-to-head speed tests we've done

you know express is always coming out on

top express is also the best returning

and unblocking streaming services like

netflix destiny plus

amazon prime hulu bbc iplayer and

hundreds of

others and there aren't any bandwidth

limits you have to worry about being

penalized if you download or stream too

much which i know nothing about

they also use the 256-bit military-grade

encryption to keep you safe completely

anonymous

no matter what you're doing online

express also allows you to use its apps

on up to five different devices

simultaneously

and that app actually has won awards for

how easy it is to use which makes

express a really great choice if you've

never used a vpn before

and you're just beginning and finally

expressvpn support is some of the best

in the industry they offer 30 day no

questions asked money back guarantee

along with 24 7 live chat support

if you need any help any time of day

they're really really awesome and

they're there for you so if you decide

to get expressvpn i'll include a link in

the description will include

any of the best promotions or discounts

i can find to save you

money so if you're just looking for the

best vpn overall

then go with express next top choice

would be nordvpn and this is for

people who have security and anonymity

in mind and make that their top priority

and although they're not as fast as

expressvpn nord has this really cool

double vpn feature that allows you to

connect to two servers

gives you even more privacy and

anonymity as a result of that

so if you're familiar with how to vpn

works you take your ip address

bounce it to another location and mask

it before it ultimately ends up

at its final destination wherever the

website or the download you're trying to

access the netflix whatever it may be

and nord does that a second time so you

get a double layer of

anonymity nord also allows you to use

its apps on up to six devices

simultaneously so it's one more than

express

and just like express it's easy to use

they've got excellent support and you

can use it for torrenting or unblocking

netflix and all those other streaming

media sites that i mentioned for as well

so nordvpn really be a good choice if

you prefer greater anonymity or if you

prefer saving a few dollars don't mind

sacrificing some speed and performance

compared to expressvpn for all those

cost savings but otherwise hopefully

this video was helpful to you if so

please leave a thumbs up as i always

appreciate it

some good digital validation is always

nice it makes me feel warm and fuzzy

inside

if you have any questions don't hesitate

to let me know in the comments i love

answering them

and getting to talk to people who share

the same passions as me it's really

really cool

otherwise thanks so much for watching

and i'll see you in the next video
