Unknown Speaker 0:00 What's up everyone,
Patrick here and in today's video, I'll be showing you how to use surf shark on your Windows PC.
Now if you don't know what surf shark is, it is one of the leading VPN services available today.
And a VPN just stands for virtual private network. And it's a service that allows you
to remain anonymous and improve your security while browsing online. Now, this is beneficial
if you want to mask your identity while you're doing things online, whether it be torrenting,
or trying to access region locked streaming sites. Now I'll include a link down in the description to
surf shark.com, along with any other discounts or deals that go along with it. So the first thing
we're going to do is head over to surf shark.com. And from here, we can sign up for the service and
create an account. And this will bring us to our surf shark dashboard. And from here,
you can see all of the available ways that you can download and use surf shark as your VPN service.
Now they have a Windows, Mac, Android, iPhone and different versions for different consoles as well,
including two web browser plugins for Firefox and Google Chrome that you can download and use
directly in your web browser. But for today's video, I'm going to just be downloading it
directly for my Windows PC. So I'll go ahead and click the Download button. And from here,
this will download the xe to my desktop and I'll open it up and install surf shark. And once you're
through the installation process, you can go ahead and log in. And this will open up your
surf shark account. Now the first thing you'll be greeted with is an entire list of all of the
countries that surf shark has servers in. Now this doesn't mean that there's one server per country,
but that they simply have a presence in that country. So if you're trying to either watch
something that is region locks to that specific country or region or if you're just trying to
route your traffic through a specific country for a specific reason, you can see over here on the
bottom right that there is a Connect button that is just your Quick Connect. So it grabs the best
server for you based off of not just location, but connectivity and speed. And a simple disconnect
can turn that off. And you can see scrolling through this entire list that there's a little
star off to the right side. Clicking on that will just add it to your favorites list if that's a
country that you prefer to go through. Now at the top, you can see there is a fastest server button
as well as the nearest country and those are just quick connect buttons to obviously grab or connect
you to the fastest server or the nearest country based off of your location or what's best for you.
Clicking on the little arrow by the connected button at the bottom right will show you all the
settings specific to that currently connected server or country. When you open up the app,
it starts off on location but then you have static IP and multi hop. Now multi hop is a super cool
feature if you want to double dip and remain extra secure by first routing you to a server in
a different country of your choosing. And then from there jumping and connecting to a nother
server in another country. That way, your traffic has been routed through two separate VPN clients,
and it just keeps you extra safe while in line. Now clicking on the Features tab on the top left
will bring you your feature options such as clean web, or whitelist. or clean web simply allows you
to block ads and remain a little more anonymous while online through your web browser. And then
whitelist or is if you want to whitelist any specific sites or IP addresses for your VPN.
So the VPN will just ignore those and allow you to connect directly to those using your existing IP
address. now heading back to the locations tab at the top, you can see this little meter icon
and clicking on this will give you a speed test on all of the available countries on this list. So it
will show you what your connection speed to that VPN looks like with milliseconds. This is a great
feature for you to find the best available one if you're not trying to just use the Quick Connect
function. And that is how you use surf shark VPN on your Windows PC desktop. Now, like I said
before, in the beginning of that you can use surf sharks plugin for both Google Chrome and Firefox.
And that's operating system agnostic meaning it doesn't matter if you have Windows PC or Linux
as long as you have those web browsers you can connect to surf shark using those plugins. Now,
this was the app specifically downloaded and installed on my computer. And I find that gives
you greater control because you might not be doing something necessarily within the browser.
But you might have other internet activity occurring through outside apps. And if those
are connected in the background, and you want to make sure they're connected to your VPN, then
having it installed on your computer makes all the difference because it actually routes all of your
internet traffic not just your browser traffic through a VPN of your choosing through this surf
shark app. Now like I said in the beginning, I'll include a link down in the description to surf
shark along with any other discounts. Unknown Speaker 5:00
deals to help you out in the long run. And of course, just like all the top
VPN services available surf shark gives you a 30 day money back guarantee.
So if you want to give it a try without fully committing, you've got a full month to give it
a shot. So be sure to check out surf shark and.com if you're in the market for a new VPN service and
