Watch out for crap apps. Run a scan on your devices. If you find one thing after the scan, stop using the app. This is what I found when SS cancelled my service. SS turned my service back on after a chat. I did a deep dive on all IP’s in the house using my router. I found that the crap app’s were calling home when I was sleeping. I realized that my network was in jeopardy with crap apps loaded. So, SS helped me discover a bad crap app problem. Also your TV can come with crap apps that track you and use your internet in the background. Step1, review your router logs. Step2, remove all crap apps. Step 3, unplug the device when not in use. I use a simple remote switch with a power strip to turn off the TV, OWN and Amp to save power. A device can not call home with no power. So far all good with SS after the changes. Pay attention to the warning from SS and check your router logs. I also cut the sharing down/out because of what I learned. Best not to share if you don’t have full control of the device.
Hope this helps.. may the Streaming Force be with you all..
I stopped using Surfshark a few years ago. It was the worst VPN provider I have ever used.
Always had issues with it when trying to stream. It would always show connection failures and the channel would not play. I would fire up IPV and it would work straight away.
The only reason I had Surfshark as it was rated highly here at TP and I got the 2 year deal at a great price. It was so bad that I stopped using it and let the subscription expire and continued to use IPV. It may be more expensive but it consistently just works.
The only issue I have with IPV is their new login system. It randomly logs out on the Nvidia Shield despite changing the permissions then I have to scan the QR code to log back in.
So strange as IPV has always had faster speeds than SS for me. When is actually worked that is. Most of the time you couldn’t even do a speed test even though though it said it was connected.
Nord is by far the fastest I have used but IPV isn’t far behind it.
Welcome to A.I., that’s what i come to believe. “key words” being tagged. I’ve started having trouble to, tried to find out exactly what I did to cause account suspension. Like you said no change in my usage. Also if your using Windows cannot connect with Edge surfshark extension and surfshark app at the same time, causes issues. I connect with app and still use extension’s tools..extension will say not connected even though you are.
Surfshark faster for me than IPvanish too and that’s why I switched. All network setups are different ISP, router. What works good for one doesn’t mean it works same for all.
