Surfshark

Yes — it's our best-value pick. Surfshark combines strong WireGuard-protocol speeds, a Deloitte-audited no-logs policy and RAM-only servers with one standout feature: unlimited simultaneous connections, so a single subscription covers every phone, laptop and TV in the house. Add CleanWeb ad-blocking, a kill switch and reliable streaming support, and you get most of what the pricier leaders offer for less. For the money, nothing else in this comparison beats it.

A few things to weigh. The promotional price rises substantially when it renews after the first term, so the second year costs noticeably more. The apps also bundle extra tools — an alternative-ID generator, tiered ad-blocking, antivirus on higher plans — that can feel like upsell clutter if you only want a VPN. And its server network is a little younger than NordVPN's or ExpressVPN's. None of that dents the core proposition, though: independently audited privacy, RAM-only servers and genuinely unlimited devices at one of the lowest prices here.

Yes. Its no-logs policy has been independently audited by Deloitte, its apps run on RAM-only servers that hold nothing after a reboot, and the company is headquartered in the Netherlands. It publishes regular transparency reports covering data requests and has a solid security track record with no history of leaks or logging scandals. It's a legitimate, audited, mainstream provider — the audits and RAM-only architecture are what let you treat the no-logs promise as verified rather than marketing.

Usually not. Surfshark handles Netflix, Prime Video, Disney+ and other major platforms reliably, including Canadian Netflix. As with every VPN, an individual server can occasionally get flagged, but switching to another server restores access within seconds. Its unlimited-connections policy makes it especially handy for streaming, since you can stay protected on the TV, a tablet and a phone at the same time without juggling device limits.

Yes. Surfshark works fully in Canada and operates Canadian servers, including Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver locations for local speeds and content. VPN use is entirely legal in Canada, and Surfshark's unlimited simultaneous connections mean one plan covers every device in the household — a practical advantage for families or anyone with a lot of gadgets.

In Canada, Surfshark starts at US$1.99/mo on the two-year Starter plan — the best per-month price among our leaders. The rolling monthly plan costs several times that, so the long term is where the value sits. Higher One and One+ tiers add antivirus, data-breach alerts and identity-theft tools if you want an all-in-one security bundle. Keep an eye on the renewal rate, which climbs above the promotional price once the first term ends. Every plan comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee, so you can test it before committing to the long plan.

Surfshark is headquartered in the Netherlands. Since a 2022 merger it belongs to the same group as NordVPN — Nord Security, founded by Lithuanians — though the two products keep separate infrastructure and apps. There's no Russian or Chinese ownership; it's EU-based throughout, under Dutch jurisdiction.
