I’ll show you how to get the best out of the Surfshark VPN app in 2021 & 2022 and how to set up all the important features. At a first glance Surfshark VPN Windows app is looking simple enough, but it takes quite a bit of effort to understand how to use all the features.

🎯 Read our full Surfshark review: cnews.link/get-surfshark_78/
===============================
Tutorial:
The first steps are really easy. You can download Surfshark from the provider’s page, just choose the version you need, Surfshark VPN PC version in this case and proceed with installation. Honestly, the whole Surfshark VPN setup is straightforward. After you install Surfshark VPN, the next step is to login - if you don’t have a subscription yet, you can use a Surfshark VPN free trial account for 7 days. You can create it via an Android, iOS or Mac device. Plus, Surfshark accepts anonymous payments if you’re looking for those. After the login, you will be greeted by the main menu of Surfshark VPN. There is a list of different locations to choose from and a “Quick connect” button that brings you to either the fastest or nearest server. That’s however just a sneak peek of what Surfshark VPN app has to offer.
Features:
Surfshark has over 3,200 servers, all of them RAM-only, meaning that they can't retain data that passes through. Sure, that’s not as much as NordVPN or CyberGhost, but more than ExpressVPN and definitely enough for most activities.
If you don’t want your IP to change with each connection - Static IP servers fulfill that purpose. And MultiHop servers can chain your connection between multiple VPN servers for better security.
While you won’t get impressive speed results in that case, Surfshark is quite fast by default. I have done multiple Surfshark speed tests in different countries, all over the world, and the speed never felt lackluster, the 20% speed drop off being the worst I’ve encountered.
Talking about security, what can you configure in there?
Well, the first thing you can customize in the Surfshark app is the tunneling protocol and through it - the encryption. The main difference is that conventional protocols like OpenVPN or IKEv2 are mostly focused on security. Their AES-256 encryption is a golden standard, known to be unbreakable at the moment. Another thing to configure is the kill switch, though it’s turned on by default, ready to sever your internet connection if the VPN breaks. It basically keeps your details from leaking that way. I wouldn't turn it off if I were you, consider that one of the cornerstone Surfshark VPN tips, from me to you. I would also mention GPS spoofer - a nice feature for masking your physical location, but it’s only available on Surfshark mobile app, the Android one, keep that in mind.
Conclusion:
There’s no doubt, Surfshark 2022 is a very good service, and it’s easy to use. The only downside I can think of is that some features are not available on all platforms, but other than that, Surfshark provides all the security you need basic and advanced, and has top of the line performance.
I hope I had Surfshark VPN explained for you in this Surfshark tutorial, so, what other things do you want me to cover next?

Really appreciate this video. I watched several other "basic overviews" of Surfshark which immediately got lost in the weeds. This was as advertised - much appreciated.
So nice! Having a proper tutorial is cleanly useful 🙏
Just bought Surfshark subscription, and i must say i'm loving the clean UI. And as for the speed so far so good, im unblocking(or one might say whitelisting) my games that prohibits the usage of vpn such as steam, and yeah it is quite a hassle but it is a one time setup so it is bearable. I'll rate it 9/10

Can not calculate the price
Does a VPN effect your service provider? Do your have to cancel you current provider? Do you have to delete your current anti-virus? How does it effect your internet browsing? Do you have to configure your vpn every time you browse? Do you have to open the vpn and select a setting before you go on the internet? Right now I just hit the Chrome button and surf the net, can I still do that, or do I have to select a server through the vpn. I hope these questions are not dumb, but I know absolutely nothing about VPNs.
Surf Shark is for me the best VPN. For that I have thrown 12 months Kaspersky Antivir VPN and balances in the trash. I can run Surf Shark on different platforms, even simultaneously. In addition, the product of update to update gets better! Thanks for the video and stay healthy!

Thanks for this video! I am a total newbie to VPN, so I am wondering how to get around this---I can get to the various websites, but in order to play a TV show or movie, it is asking me to log in. Isn't that what VPN is supposed to bypass? What is the workaround? One more question---should I configure my ISP's router (if compatible) with this VPN. I signed up for the longest term offered, so want to set up the way it should be done. Thanks so much. Judy

Hi ProGaming PvP, thanks for the support. :) What device do you tend to use the most? Looking at your name, I'm guessing you'd be looking for an option that wouldn't affect your system's resources? If so, I'd recommend checking our video about "Antivirus for gaming PC." Otherwise, in general, I'd say my top two would be: Norton 360 for a feature-rich option and one of the most extensive suites against a whole host of online threats. Alternatively, Bitdefender is another solid option. It also adapts to your system hardware specifications nicely. We have a comparison video if you're looking for specific answers. :)

Slow internet speeds on firestick
There are so many problems with this service. it drops with out notice usually during some seriously internet searching. Is this the best service out there? One that does not open you up to being super vulnerable. This video is clearly a promo video.
Hi. Great simple video. I have followed your instructions but still seem to be having my content blocked due to location. I am in Botswana currently and live in the uk. I have been trying to watch live content with my media subscriber. I have set my vpn to uk - London, surely this should make the media company think I am in the uk? Sorry if this is very basic but I just can’t seem to sort this out.

Thanks for this. Surfshark support says the following about blocking this platform's ads: "Cleanweb is a feature that blocks malicious ads and malicious websites. With this feature enabled, your browser will show fewer ads and fewer trackers will work. That being said, as (YT) isn't a malicious site, only the malicious ads will be blocked on it" Any ideas? I was so excited to hear that all the ads here could be blocked.

Ok. I think I heard you say the Geo-Spoofing feature doesn’t work on Apple devices. Did I hear this correctly! I’m a NY Giants fan living in South Carolina.

Yes, Geo-Spoofing works only on Android devices. 😔 However, depending on the streaming service that you would use, it might not be necessary to use it and a basic VPN connection would be enough. In addition, if you would contact Surfshark customer support, they'll be able to tell you if it's possible to reach the specific streaming service with Surfshark VPN. 🙌
Can anyone out there tell me if I can choose ( for Netflix ) the UK and Canada ( or any two locations ) and bounce back and fourth between the two -- or can I only use one at a time. Basically does SurfShark hold onto multiple locations or must they be "used" one at a time ??? Thanks guys Sincerely, SurfShark nubie :)
Kill Switch wasn't on by default for me. Its under VPN settings
Please note, the kill switch in Surfshark does not work at all.

This means your DNS addresses are leaking.

If that would not help, I would recommend contacting their customer support as I'm sure they'll help you fix this! 😊

Surfshark seems though its becoming more and more popular lately. I think it's great but just a hypothetical question - or several. At what point does our government get to where they crack it? At what point do big data miners like Google get pissed enough that they use influence to get our government to severely regulate its uses because they're upset that they're not getting enough access to our data? At what point does our government prohibit the sale, use, or mere possession of this on the average end users hardware because they deem it some kind of rediculous threat to our national security? We're the government, we know what's best for you and oh BTW, you have to get rid of this and don't let us catch you with this on your system. I guess in the end I'd want to know exactly to what extent this prevents big tech from tracking/tracing us - which apparently this looks pretty impressive but what about big brother government? To what extent does a VPN like this slow them down?
Hahaa "family"
How much is a pay you to do this? This is an expensive and the horrible service company. I use only three day, but I have to pay for a year. And no refund at all. If you are not traveling all over the world all the time ,please don’t sign in. If you sign in with Surf shark , very hard to cancel, and if you pay the full year, but you only use for couple week, sorry, no refund at all!
