Surf Shack: Laid-Back Living by the Water

Product Information

Surfshark One also gives you an Avira-powered antivirus, but it's a basic affair (Image credit: Surfshark) Lovely atmosphere and friendly staff. There is not a single thing I can comment on that needed improving. What a hidden... gem The Nook St Ivesis perfectly located so you are close to the heart of St Ives. Just a few seconds walk and you are right on the front and soaking up the atmosphere. Surfshark’s WireGuard speeds were spectacular at 760 Mbps in the UK and 950 Mbps+ in the UK—all I could expect from our 1 Gbps test connection. That puts Surfshark equal first in our speed tests alongside the likes of NordVPN, IPVanish, and Windscribe.

Surfshark underwent a second Cure53 audit on its server infrastructure in 2021 (Image credit: Surfshark) I measured Surfshark's performance from a US location and a UK data center with a 1 Gbps connection, giving me plenty of scope to see just what the service could do.There are plenty of configuration options, and they all worked well for us, plus it's great to see a VPN provider deliver this level of split tunneling support on the desktop. (Many VPNs have split tunneling-type systems on Windows—ExpressVPN, Hotspot Shield, NordVPN, Private Internet Access, ProtonVPN—but several reserve the feature for their mobile apps). Updates since our last review include the results of a no-logging audit by Deloitte, which confirmed Surfshark is living up to its promises (more detail below.) The meat for our smash burgers is from local Swedish farms, ground fresh daily, hand-formed and served on America’s favourite hamburger bun.

In the most recent audit, Surfshark asked Deloitte to verify its no-logs policy. The auditors looked at Surfshark's servers, their configuration and deployment, and its related infrastructure, and even interviewed employees to properly understand its internal processes.We hope you have enjoyed viewing this live streaming real time web camera from St Ives Quay and Harbour, Cornwall, UK. There's real depth here. Android apps can see through most VPNs by requesting your physical location, but not Surfshark—a GPS Spoofing feature enables it to return the coordinates of your chosen VPN server.

Our more extreme kill switch testing did, unfortunately, cause serious problems for the Surfshark app (Image credit: Surfshark) MacOS and Mac apps Just saying that you’re secure doesn’t mean much unless you can prove it. And we don’t like empty talk, so we have had some of the best independent auditors test our services . Problem: Online retailers, rental, and airline services often adjust prices according to your connection location, especially since people connecting from England can be expected to pay more. Surfshark passed the audit, with Deloitte concluding that its server setup and management "is properly prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with Surfshark’s description of its no-logs policy."Logging into Surfshark recently got easier, too, with new support for logging in via your Google, Apple, or Microsoft accounts. The results were interesting. Ideally, I like to see virtual locations as close as possible to the country they're representing, to minimize any performance hit. Surfshark does this occasionally, for example, by hosting its Cambodia location with Hong Kong servers, but many of its virtual locations appear to be served from the same countries. Amsterdam seems to be the real home for everyone from Algeria, Andorra, and Armenia, for instance, to Egypt, Ghana and Nigeria, while Florida looks after servers for the Bahamas, Argentina, and Bolivia.

Surfshark uses WireGuard by default and the chances are you’ll never need anything else. But if it can’t connect, or you’re setting the service up on a router or some other device, you might need to use OpenVPN. I found Surfshark’s OpenVPN connections were horribly slow at 120-130 Mbps in the US and 80-90 Mbps in the UK. That's enough for streaming and general browsing tasks, but bad news if you need it for a router or any heavyweight tasks. Virtual locations Virtual locations won't work for everyone, though. If your VPN says it supports Hong Kong, but it's a virtual location and the servers are actually based in New York, then that's inevitably going to impact your speeds.Surfshark is the perfect choice for the most demanding tech-savvy users. Our VPN has advanced features like CleanWeb, Kill Switch, Rotating IP, Dynamic MultiHop, and Bypasser.
