Main Features of Surfshark
As discussed earlier, Surfshark is the new VPN but has already taken the industry by storm. Here is a look at its features:
1. Service Across the Globe
Although Surfshark is a new VPN service but still manages to give significant competition to other services. Having more than 3,200 servers in more than 60 countries across the globe makes it a considerable choice.
Surfshark lets people avoid the geo-restriction barrier to have access to the content they want from anywhere in the world. Although, there are limited regions you can select to log on to a particular server.
2. Unlimited Device Connectivity
Surfshark lets you connect unlimited devices with just ONE account. It means you can use the VPN not only on your fire TV device but with as many devices as you have OR as many you want. Well actually, it’s the only service that offers such a feature.
3. Unlimited Bandwidth
Surfshark on Firestick provides unlimited bandwidth. This means you can share your connection with your friends or family members and thanks to the unlimited bandwidth nothing will slow down on any device.
4. Mask your IP Address
If you are planning to carry a FireStick with you. Surfhark on firestick helps you enhance your security by masking your IP address, especially when using public Wifi networks.
Surfshark secures your data from being monitored. It also protects you from hackers who usually target public network users.
5. Kill Switch
This is a great feature Surfshark is currently offering. You might wonder what exactly it is? Well actually, it kills your internet whenever your VPN connection drops.
So, if you’re in the middle of watching free Movies or TV Shows and your VPN disconnects, your internet will disconnect at the same time.
This is a precautionary measure that your ISP doesn’t know what you were streaming or browsing on your internet. It also shuts your internet service to save you from the risk of hacking or security invasion.
6. Clean Web
Surfshark gives you the freedom to browse the internet without any ads, trackers, malware, or viruses. It means you are well protected from such problems.
Surfshark Rating on Amazon Store
Surfshark Amazon’s rating is great despite the fact that it has just stepped foot in the industry. It earns 4.1/5 Stars (28,290 reviews).
