Security
Surfshark VPN
Surfshark is a paid VPN, I would never choose to use a free VPN. Furthermore, Surfshark has been audited by Cure53 to check their browser extension security and got a good review https://cure53.de/pentest-report_surfshark.pdf To put it short they earned my trust
Perfect Privacy
- What's their privacy policy look like? Do they make public commitments to destroy logs? Are their claims on-their-face absurd? There's no such thing as a VPN that does zero logging at all, so if someone is claiming perfect anonymity, I distrust them from the get-go.- Have they had data breaches in the past (for example, NordVPN)?- Are there any high-profile cases of them refusing to provide logs to someone?- What country are they located in? Depending on the country, a foreign VPN can complicate collusion efforts.- Do they pay for ads, and how do they advertise? Do they make inaccurate guarantees about what a VPN can and can't do? A VPN isn't going to protect you from the police, and a VPN on its own will not make you private, so I distrust companies that make those claims.- Do they seem competent? Do they have instructions on how to deal with things like DNS leaks, or how to set up killswitches?That's not an exhaustive list
