In this SurfShark setup tutorial I will show you the step-by-step process of how
to purchase your VPN at the best price, how to use SurfShark with the correct settings
and gain secured access to streaming and torrenting sites. Lastly, I will show you
some cool and unique features that SurfShark has to offer. Now let's get started, pricing
first you can click on the link in the description or type this into your browser it'll take you to
my special surfshark discount page where you will get the best deal currently available
now let me give you an overview of surf sharks pricing and how their discounts work
you can get surfshark for 12.95 per month but if you want to be practical
you can get the six month plan for 38.94 and save almost 50 percent if you're going to be
using a vpn long term then the two-year plan with three months bonus is going to save you the most
money as it'll only cost you 59.76 which is the equivalent of just cents per month
this will save you almost 83 and that's massive so if you're satisfied with the performance of this
vpn provider then after your free trial or during your first month of using it i recommend choosing
or continuing with the longest plan as this is the most budget-friendly plan that surfshark offers
if the performance doesn't meet your expectations and needs then you can request a refund and get
your money back within the first 30 days from your subscription regardless of the plan you
signed up for currently you can pay via credit card or debit card paypal google pay amazon
pay or bitcoin if you prefer the cryptocurrency method of payment to become even more anonymous
once you're done registering and verifying your email address you're ready to install and start
using the software open and connect once you open surfshark you will land directly to the
start a connection page where you will also see an option to connect to the fastest server
this button will instantly find the fastest server for you based on your location but you can still
explore and use other servers from the options on the left side surfshark is also one of the
few providers that offer double vpn through its feature called multihop you can connect
to two servers at the same time to add an extra layer of security to your internet activities
surfshark has more than 3200 servers in 65 countries for your convenience you can save the
server that you like by clicking the star icon on that server to include it on your favorites
unblocking netflix let's try opening netflix without using vpn first
so my original location now is in the philippines and what i'm going to do is
search for a series that is only available on the us server twin peaks for example we
won't be able to find it since this series is blocked in other countries except in the
us now let's do a test using the us server so we can trick google that our location is in the us
our goal here is to search for twin peaks to see if surf shark can really unblock us netflix shows
using its server let's check netflix now while we are connected to the vpn and as you can see
it is still working fine let's search for twin peaks again and there you go it already reveals
the series we want to find which is only available in the us if you want to find other shows that are
only available in certain countries try connecting to other streaming optimized servers for that
country and let us know in the comment section below if it works aside from netflix you can also
unblock other streaming platforms such as hulu bbc iplayer hbo disney plus espn amazon prime and
hot star torrenting not all vpn providers allow peer-to-peer or p2p file sharing and torrenting
but surfshark absolutely does if you're planning to get a vpn that supports torrenting and p2p file
sharing surfshark is a great choice it supports many torrenting software such as utorrent
bittorrent torrent z3 q-bit torrent transmission and deluge i tried connecting to one of their
servers and it turns out to be working perfectly with the movie i'm downloading using bittorrent
key features let's dive into some of its specific key features if you want to prioritize certain
apps on your desktop to use the vpn every time you launch them you can do so with a feature
called whitelister now this unique feature is a notch above its competitor's split tunnel features
since it also covers vpn access management over websites not just applications to enable this
just go to features on your desktop app just click the button and then you can just easily
choose the apps and websites that we'll use or bypass the vpn do you like the level of detail
i'm providing you in my tutorial so far if so make sure to like my video and hit that
subscribe button for more high quality content about tech which i release every single week surf
shark also has a feature called clean web that blocks adds and malware before they can even load
this means you can surf in a clear cyber ocean a lot faster without trackers nor fishing attempts
it also has a selection of protocols that helps vpn safely send your data through the internet
it offers ike v2 openvpn wireguard and shadowsocks each protocol varies in speed and you can also let
surfshark automatically choose the best protocol for you depending on your location though
shadowsocks is the top choice in restrictive countries like china to bypass the great firewall
you can view this setting and make adjustments on it by clicking on the
settings or the gear icon below and selecting the advanced option under general settings
you will see different protocols in the drop down menu and from there
you can modify how surf shark goes about selecting a protocol to secure your data encryption for you
accidents are inevitable and in cases where your vpn connection drops unexpectedly
the kill switch will pause all internet activities and protect you from all possible leaks until the
vpn connection is re-established take note that you need to turn on the kill switch feature first
with surfshark since it's not automatic like other vpn providers like cyberghost under the general
settings just click on connectivity and there you can enable the kill switch don't worry if you
suddenly connect to a server without enabling the kill switch under settings there's still a quick
option to turn on the kill switch on the home page right after you connect to a server but i highly
encourage you to always turn the kill switch through the settings just for extra security
customer service surfshark only has 24 7 live chat and email support channels not really good news
for those who prefer speaking to a real person over the phone but their customer service level is
actually good so in cases where you have questions while using the vpn you can just click the support
button located on the lower right corner of the desktop app or go to their website here i typed in
hack lock and blind search for example and i got a list of articles i can read since i want
to show you how their live chat support system works i clicked on the live chat button and i
waited until i got mic but then it seemed like i was transferred to jimmy again whom i've chatted
with before i've tried chatting with their team multiple times and though technical difficulties
could happen they're always quick to respond in fact their average response time is two minutes
they respond promptly and the representatives seem knowledgeable about any issues
