1 Surfshark is one of the most affordable VPN apps in the market when you take into account the fact that it allows you to simultaneously connect an unlimited number of devices from just one account. With over 800 servers across half a century countries, it has been growing from strength to strength since its inception a few years back. The VPN provider is one of the most popular in the current market and the hefty discounts the website provides is a major draw for most customers. If you are not willing to shell out $48 for a two-year deal as I did then you can always fall back upon promo codes and special Surfshark coupons.

2 A reliable kill switch is a must for any VPN app and Surfshark is no exception to that rule as it provides an ever aware kill switch which instantly disconnects you from the internet in case the VPN connection drops unexpectedly. A kill switch is essential to protect all your sensitive data and online identity from being revealed during a loss of connection. By disabling the user’s internet connection on a system level, Surfshark makes sure that the user’s private information is always guarded by its industry-standard AES-256 encryption and stringent security protocols. All said and done you do need to enable the kill switch manually, especially while torrenting, as it is disabled by default.

3 Whitelisting is another useful feature missing in most VPN apps but not on Surfshark. The Whitelist feature allows you to permit certain apps or websites, such as banking apps, to bypass the VPN encryptions when you are connected to a server so that they may work properly. This is an incredibly useful feature as it allows you to selectively bypass the encryptions as some useful websites cannot be opened unless the VPN is bypassed. Split tunneling enhances the digital experience by letting the user dictate which apps or websites are encrypted through the VPN and which are sent through the usual channels. Surfshark allows the user to whitelist both an app or website and they have separate options to whitelist an app and a website.
