It seems lately I have to turn off Surfshark more often to get into many websites. Are others experiencing this issue?

More and more websites are using VPN detection software.
Just google do websites use VPN detection software and look at the AI results to get an explanation why?

Itās the ad blocker. Turn it off and you will be able to go to those sites.

Seems like just about everything i go to i have to turn off my surfshark, which I hate being left vulnerable like this. One day i was even hacked on facebook and had never been. But i forgot it was off. Itās getting ridiculous.Iāve sent in the urls and dnsās not too block even but it still does. Anyone know of a better one that doesnāt suck your speed down.
I have been experiencing the same frustrations with Surfshark. Miki recommends turning off Cleanweb however, I am hesitant to do that because then I will be tracked and cookied all over the place. My Surfshark is due to renew soon. I would be interested in a more accommodating VPNā¦ if one is available.
I have the same problem with some websites, but it normally corrects itself over time. Does anyone use Surfshark security, and if so, how does it work? Thanks
I thought it was just me but all the problems everybody is talking about and also on my Shield Pro it was just freezing up my streams\streaming apps until I turned it off and\or switched locations. After a little research I found a post from Surfshark support in r\surfshark on Reddit explaining itās minor incompatibilities with ethernet connected Android devices. I bought a Proton sub (on special now-10 devices-2 years-Ā£55, about $48) and all my problems went away. No more dropping my connection, speed increased by at least 40%. Couldnāt be happier. Let me be clear, my issues were mostly on the Shield Pro. Iām not putting down Surfshark and I know they are one of Troyās sponsors. Just letting you guys know my experience and what I found that Surfshark put out there.

Still blocks sites with ad blocker off on most server locations. 2 or 3 work intermediately and other never work on any location.
Yes. Eventhough the URL is listed in āBypasserā.

I was having trouble with accessing PNC bank website. This is where you realy do need the protection of a vpn. After investigation i found the ālocalā browser for PNC was Atlanta. Changed to that browser and it all works beautifuly.

We all feel your pain. The best ?I have been able to do is use BRAVE browser with SurfShark. What one misses the other picks up. No problems so far or maybe Iām just to ignorant to know. Iāve been working computers since the early 80s. ITāS NUTS THESE DAYS!

When I talked to support about that, and issues clicking emails that have links where Iād have to turn off the VPN for it to work and then back onā¦ They had me change the IP address for I think the DNS lookup on the router. It worked for a short time.
I have found that, yes sometimes changing locations can make a huge difference too. I have favorited, Miami, Atlanta, Dallas, and Chicago area.
