Surfshark’s security suite is second-to-none for its price

Thanks to the ever-rising number of scammers and spammers, answering a phone call or email from an unknown sender can be pretty daunting. Personally, I treat any unexpected call with a healthy dose of suspicion.
Deepfakes and AI scam calls are making it harder to parse malicious messages from the real thing. And with more than half of Americans affected by fraud in 2025, it’s more important than ever to keep your lines of communication secure.
Enter Surfshark: as our Surfshark review notes, it comes with a suite of tools to help you dodge scams and spam while keeping your identity safe online.
EXCLUSIVE Surfshark deal: get up to $30 in free Amazon gift cards
Secure your connection and treat yourself on Amazon with this exclusive Surfshark offer. Plans start from just
📱 Unlimited simultaneous connections 🦠 Surfshark Antivirus 👤 Alternative ID (email and identity aliasing) 🚨 Alert (personal data, credit card, and ID leak alerts) ⛔ Web content blocking 📧 Email scam protection 🔎 Secure search engine
All plans also come with a 30-day money-back guarantee. So if you're unhappy, you get your money back.
As well as offering the typical functions of a VPN – accessing content in other countries and enhancing browsing privacy – Surfshark comes equipped with a full suite of security tools that cover everything from calls to email to ad-blocking.
Surfshark Starter is currently available for
Surfshark One and Surfshark One+ up the price to
All three Surfshark plans allow you to connect to as many devices as you want, a huge win over rivals like Express VPN.

As mentioned, all three tiers of Surfshark come with a selection of great security tools. As our Surfshark VPN review notes, Starter is far from a ‘lite’ version of the Surfshark experience, with full VPN, ad blocker, and ID protection features. Keep reading for a full breakdown.
Alternative Identity is the umbrella term Surfshark uses for its identity protection tools.
Clean Web is Surfshark’s ad blocker, which comes with the added ability to stop cookie consent pop-ups from appearing and slowing down your browsing.
For those who want an even more private browsing experience, Surfshark One and Surfshark One Plus also offer a web browser that stores no browsing data whatsoever.
Proton VPN's Stealth protocol allows you to hide your VPN usage (Image credit: Future)
Surfshark is our pick for the best cheap VPN, and its unlimited device coverage is hard to ignore, but it’s not without its competitors, some of which go further in key areas.
Proton VPN’s Stealth protocol, for example, makes it easy to hide the fact you’re even using a VPN, which could be useful in countries with tighter VPN regulations or censorship laws.
For a little more cash, Nord VPN is our pick for the best VPN overall, offering particularly excellent streaming performance. And for those on tighter budgets who just need a basic VPN, Privado VPN’s limited free service might be enough to get by – though it lacks Surfshark’s range of security features.
