how's it going everybody welcome back and today i'm showing you guys a basic tutorial on how to
use surf shark now surf shark is a very easy to use vpn so this is going to be a fairly short
video but if you guys are interested in learning more about surf shark you'll find a link to the
full review in the description down below as well as links to pricing and discounts if you'd like to
save up a little bit on the subscription okay so using search right can be as simple as just
turning it on selecting whatever server and you're good to go as you can tell here because
i'm connected to the new york server it shows that i am in new york on the ip finder right here okay
so i'm going to go ahead and disconnect and again it can be as simple as just clicking the connect
button and it'll connect you to the fastest server or at least what surf shark thinks is the fastest
server for you now there are a bunch of features on surfshark and it can be a little bit confusing
even though surfshark is a very easy to use vpn i'm just going to go ahead and explain everything
here so that you know how to use this vpn now for most people you don't really need to go to
the settings you don't need to do anything you can just you know you're trying to unblock us netflix
go down here to the one of the us servers you're good to go you're trying to unblock the uk netflix
same thing go to the uk uh server and just pick one of these uh locations and you're good to go
but if you're on this tutorial it's because you want to learn a little bit more about surf shark
and what all these features do now the alert antivirus search are all extra features and they
have nothing to do with the vpn so we're gonna stick to the vpn here and we're gonna start with
uh this right here okay so you have a little help here so this will overall give you a good idea of
uh what all this means okay so static ip just to be very brief static ip will always give you
the same ip address now if i go to the new york server and connect to this location right here
it's not exactly a server it's just a location it assigns a server and every time i connect to the
new york server it's going to give me a different ip address but if i choose one of these servers
it's always going to give me the same ip address hence it's called static ip rather than dynamic
ip as it is with the regular servers multi-hop will route your connection through two servers
rather than just one for double the encryption that way you'll be using
two ip addresses rather than one but if you kind of use the ip finder it'll show you as if you're
in one country because the ip finder won't be able to understand that you are in two countries
but in reality you'll have your connection routed to two servers rather than one okay you have over
3200 servers in 65 countries by the way let's go to the settings and see what's going on here
now in the these settings are just you know language dark mode whatever it is account
troubleshooting we're going to ignore those we're just going to stick to the vpn settings
so here you have auto connect and startup options we don't want to talk about that they're very
self-explanatory you have clean web which is an ad blocker very self-explanatory uh doesn't
really block all the ads so you might want to combine it with an actual ad blocker as i do here
the kill switch will disable your internet connection if the vpn disconnects unexpectedly
and what that does is that it'll make sure that you're only connected to the internet when
you're secured by the vpn tunnel otherwise it'll disconnect your connections so that you can avoid
leaking any of your information out to your internet service provider for example
so it's a very nice safety measure that all uh good or premium vpns should have and surfshark
is definitely a premium vpn okay now i tend to use the guard protocol here you have a good selection
of protocols but i do stick to the wireguard protocol simply because it is the fastest
protocol really so you can definitely stick to automatic and that'll work 100 of the time
because it'll always adjust but i like to stick to wireguard because it is the fastest protocol
now bypasser is essentially oh there we go bypasser is essentially split tunneling
and what will this do is it'll allow you to select which applications are routed through
the vpn and which are not so for example you can have selected applications right here bypass the
vpn tunnel while the rest of your connection uses your vpn tunnel or vice versa by routing
the selected applications while leaving the rest of your network untouched by the vpn tunnel
okay and you can do the same with ip addresses and websites and have them bypass that okay so it's a
very nice feature uh the speed test obviously will save you a bunch of time by just testing
out the servers and you can kind of find out which server has the best latency up or download speed
uh and this will save you the time uh to do the manual speed testing yourself
over here we have rotating ip and no borders mode which will help you if you're in a censorship
heavy country rotating ipo will automatically rotate your ip address while your vpn location
stays the same and overdose mode will help you by pass censorship firewalls such as the firewall the
great firewall of china and that's pretty much it this is all you need to understand about uh surf
shark and if you're in a censorship heavy country you know you can turn on networks mode rotating ip
as well as the kill switch and split tunneling or bypasser in this case will let you choose
which applications you want to route through the vpn so it's just a preference at this point
and let's say you want to unblock the uk library of netflix or bbc iplayer or something like that
all you need to do is just select one of those simply click and you're good to go it's as
simple as that and now that i want to make sure i just want to make sure that i am indeed connected
to the uk server obviously you can just click this and it'll tell you this is your ip address right
now but if you want to uh and you can turn on the kill switch from right here by the way which uh
it'll ask you that you have to uh you know you kind of have to disconnect and connect again
if you want to turn on the kill switch i think so let's try it out so let's just continue oh okay so
it's just warning you we don't have to disconnect it's just telling you that now if the vpn
disconnects unexpectedly your internet connection will also get cut until the vpn connects again
if you don't want that to happen just turn off the kill switch and you're good to go
uh okay so now i'm just gonna go ahead and refresh and now we can tell that i am indeed
in the uk as far as my internet is concerned and this is also a good way by the way for people to
avoid isp throttling so for example in my case my isp throttles my connection when i use over
20 gigabytes when i reach that 20 gigabyte threshold and if i want to regain my original
speed uh which is you know fair and square i don't really like the concept of throttling and isps do
that to save on resources which is totally unfair because i'm paying for uh you know that amount of
data uh yeah you can bypass the throttling that is imposed by unfairly so in my opinion by isps
so that's pretty much how you can use surfshark um it's the same concept if you're on uh your
mac if you're on ios android it's yeah the user interface is going to be the same and uh it's just
a simple application to use there's nothing too complicated about it very self-explanatory okay
and uh yeah that'll be it for this video if you guys are interested in surf shark you'll find
