Where did you get the Surfshark apk that you had installed before installing from their website?

22

Troypoint tool box. They mentioned that in email.they said troypoint appears to be streaming service they can’t guarantee product from there. ?? I mentioned three urls I had problems with freezing while using, as examples

23

Troy’s toolbox links generally go straight back to the developer/apps main website, so that is odd. Was it a different version you installed that maybe made a difference?

24

That’s what I thought. Odd!! No I think was same version. I keep it updated when it notifies me. One thing I don’t like you can’t go on thee site and see what latest updates are for diff systems. At least I can’t find them. Not in toolbox either. Used to with rai

25

Seems they got my iPhone problem fixed too. Knock on wood!! Had me totally reset network settings, log back to wifi, set my preferred dns servers, I also re installed SS app. So far it’s working fine. Have checked for leaks too, have never had any leaks. I will say seems like the luck of the draw with support. Cuz I have been reporting the issue for weeks

26

If you go into the TP Toolbox and hover over “Download” button, you can see the url site that the link goes to is the Surfshark Downloads website that they had you download from. Must have just been a coincidence or the app was able to benefit from the uninstall/reinstall process.

I agree, because my other devices didn’t have a slowdown. I run them separate on devices , not through the router. But I’m glad they(so far) got my phone problem fixed. Just to touch on kodi, I can’t figure out why a program releases and a month later there’s still no stream. Even though the dates on episode

Most vpn services will cut your internet speed about 50%. I normally get around 300mbs/30mbs download upload speeds without the vpn and 145 - 155mbs/20 mbs download/upload speeds using my ExpressVPN. I also use a CAT 6 LAN cable connection rather than Wi-Fi to boost my internet speed.

29

In here you have a comment that troypoint appears to be a streaming service. If I remember correctly, a while back someone hijacked the Troypoint name and was using it for a streaming service. Troy does NOT do streaming services, sell subs for IPTV or any such thing. Troy run’s a legitimate site. So anything or anyone claiming to be Troypoint and selling streaming is lying.

No, I was relaying what SS said, about the streaming to AMD 237, we’ve been discussing speed and other situations with SS. Read everything not just that one line. Thanx

31

lol. I did read everything. My comment was focused on the comment that your supplier made that Troypoint is a streaming site and I just wanted to be sure that everyone or anyone knows that’s patently false. Gl2u

And just so you know. I let them know this in first line of reply to their instructions in the email. It was a dual SS problems

33

I hope you get your SS issues sorted. It’s really aggravating when you have problems like that and can’t seem to get it sorted. I’m sure you’ll get it. Have a good day.

34

That happened to me too when I used the “recommended” list on the SS speed test. All Canada. However, make some of your traditional fastest servers “favorites” and then run the SS speed test under that category. I have about ten favorites and the SS speed test will determine the fastest of those. For me it’s almost always Chicago.

I did just that and all favorites I use were faster. Surprisingly Toronto isn’t bad. But favorites still beat ‘em. Thanx. I do have a small issue where one website I use won’t respond unless I use two specific servers🤷

36

For those who have read what SS said about Troypoint, they just responded to my email They said, “”
Also, sorry for the mistake regarding Troypoint! You’re correct! “”

This Surfshark Review was written by Troy from TROYPOINT after using the VPN service on a regular basis for approximately three weeks. Surfshark provided me with a free account for the purpose of this review and additional tutorials in the future. However, this review is unbiased and you will see that I point out both…

I’ve been using Surfshark since mid-December, 2023. I was an IPVanish user for a number of years. IPVanish was a very good VPN service but, the price point and the deal on Surfshark VPN was too good to pass up. Now, I’m not so sure.

I removed IPVanish from all my devices and installed Surfshark. I installed it on my Amazon Fire Sticks and on both my iPad and iPhone. The features/options on Surfshark are superior to IPVanish but, I’m finding more and more often reliability issues with the VPN server connections.

Almost daily now I am either pausing, or disconnecting Surfshark because pages are either very slow to load or, they don’t load at all. As soon as I pause or disconnect the VPN, the site I am attempting to go to loads immediately. This includes my ProtonMail account and many other websites.

Has Surfshark added so many new customers that their servers are getting overloaded or, is something else going on?

If this continues, I many bite the bullet and take my 2 years of service with Surfshark as a loss and go back to IPVanish.

Is anyone else dealing with this?

I think in the case of some sites not loading it’s the ad blocking feature. Try leaving the vpn on and turning ad blocking off and see if you can connect to the sites without issue.

That’s not the issue. If it was the ad blocking feature, the issue would happen with, or without the VPN running.
