But for me this is one extra click, nothing that really bothers too much. Do I occasionally CAPTCHAS or a random site does work/load? Absolutely, but this is to be expected and happens because the VPN does its job - many user share the same IP and this looks (rightfully) suspicious to services like Google and they give you a CAPTCHA. I'm using Surfshark next month for 2 years and had very few issues and those were of a minor nature, nothing deal breaking. They think they paid a few bucks to a VPN provider and this entitles them to do whatever they want on the internet. And again, these usually very naive (illiterates when it comes to internet technology) users are those who complain the loudest, because they simply don't understand how things work. It's a multi-billion dollar business, of course they block VPNs and throw anything they can at users who use them. Well, it's obvious that companies like netflix do whatever they can to block users who obfuscate their location, because they want to make money. The vast majority of complaints are those who are using streaming services to watch tv shows or movies. Of course the user hopes for magic and wonder and that Surfshark miraculously comes up with solution - not gonna happen. ![]() Surfshark can only figure out and react to what some controlling governments implement to control their population's internet access. People from heavily restricted countries complain a lot, but this is the nature of the beast. If you read the complain threads carefully you'll notice quickly that these complaints are very specific or regional. So, my question is: is this VPN good for regular use or will I be disappointed after 30 days and stuck with poor and unreliable service? Some posts even said that the VPN worked fine for the first 30 days (during the money-back period) but then was horrible afterwards. So, I am confused about this disconnect in feedback from the general web and on this sub. But over in this subreddit, I have seen numerous posts complaining about customer service, poor apps, dropped connections, flaky, unreliable connections, bad geo-spoofing etc etc. Whenever I search for reviews of Surfshark, VPN review websites and tech websites usually say it is a decent VPN for streaming and torrenting and it has good performance and cheap price. I have not seen any negativity in the general web. So far I am pleased with this performance but I am very concerned by reading all the negative reviews and complaints on this subreddit. I tested torrenting with Surfshark and I tested streaming with Surfshark using two different locations (USA and India) and the performance and speed was very good and much better than PIA. So, I was looking for another VPN that can let me use pro anywhere and comes close to $2 a month and Surfshark and PIA were able to come close to that dirt cheap price. The reason I chose these two VPNs to test out is because I am previously using Windscribe VPN with its "Build your own plan" that came to just $2 a month (but that only allowed me pro access to one location). It has better and more easy to use apps, and its performance is much better on the locations I am interested in using. I am also simultaneously testing out Private Internet Access VPN to see which one is better, but so far I like Surfshark more. I got a pretty good deal for 3 years of VPN service and signed up yesterday. ![]() Hi folks, I am a very new subscriber of Surfshark.
