Surfshark

Surfshark has rapidly established itself as one of the best-value VPN services available for UK users. At just £1.49 per month on its 2-year plan, it offers premium features that rival services costing twice as much. The standout feature is unlimited simultaneous device connections, meaning every phone, tablet, laptop, and smart TV in a household can be protected with a single subscription.

In terms of raw performance, Surfshark is impressive. Its servers recorded peak speeds of 1,615 Mbps in testing, making it one of the fastest VPNs available. With 4,500+ RAM-only servers across 100 countries and 440+ servers in the UK, there is always a fast server available for British users. The service launched the world's first 100 Gbps server in October 2025, demonstrating its commitment to speed innovation.

Surfshark's feature set is surprisingly comprehensive for its price point. CleanWeb blocks ads, trackers, and malware. Dynamic MultiHop routes traffic through two servers for additional security. Camouflage Mode uses obfuscation to disguise VPN traffic, useful for bypassing restrictions. The Bypasser feature provides split tunneling, allowing users to route specific apps outside the VPN tunnel.

One of the more innovative features is Alternative ID, which generates a new online identity and email address for privacy when signing up for services. NoBorders mode automatically activates in restrictive network environments, ensuring the VPN continues to work even when VPN traffic is being blocked.

Based in the Netherlands, Surfshark's privacy policy has been audited by Deloitte in both 2023 and 2025, confirming its no-logs commitment. While the Netherlands is a Nine Eyes member, the verified no-logs policy means there is no data to share even if requested.
