Review by our expert
With VPNs, you tend to get what you pay for. So when I saw Surfshark’s low prices, I was skeptical about its rave reviews. To see if it could actually live up to these claims, the team and I tested every aspect of Surfshark, including its speeds, security features, streaming abilities, network reliability, and device compatibility.
Can Surfshark be trusted? It can, and it is. The Financial T...

Fast, reliable and unlimited
This VPN is fast and reliable. It has a lot of servers in different countries and can be used in an un... limited amount of devices (it supports Linux, which is something very important for me). The software and app get updated regularly: note that I experienced some bugs with the auto-connect feature on Android that have been solved since then. With this competitive pricing, I would definitely recommend it.
IMPORTANT NOTE: I am not including the customer support in this review, because I never had to use it. If I use it in the future, I will update this review with my experience. I recommend you to see other reviews that include it if it is important for you.More

Frustrating Experience with Surfshark - A Cautionary Tale
I’ve been a Surfshark customer for quite some time, but my experience with their service over the last... few months has been nothing short of frustrating and exhausting. After dealing with endless issues and subpar support, I feel it’s only fair to share my experience so that others can make an informed decision.
The Problems
I initially encountered serious issues with Surfshark’s version 5.13, which simply didn’t work properly. Rather than providing a real solution, the support team suggested I roll back to an older, less secure version, which obviously wasn’t a feasible option. And when version 5.14 was released, there were no guarantees that it would work smoothly either. This lack of reliability left me in the dark and without proper protection for my devices. As a user who’s been comfortable with VPNs for years, I expected better. Instead, the issues with Surfshark went far beyond just software bugs. The app had such a significant impact on my system’s configuration that I had to fully reinstall Windows twice, losing hours of my time in the process. After the system crash caused by the software, I found that I couldn’t even log in to my PC properly, rendering it unusable.
2. Port 443 Miscommunication
Another issue arose around port 443. Initially, Surfshark’s support team claimed that my port was closed, which would have been a security issue. However, after conducting tests and providing photo evidence, I proved that the port was actually open. The support team’s initial miscommunication and failure to acknowledge this only added to my frustration.
3. The Toll on My Health
Beyond the technical problems, this entire ordeal has had a significant impact on my health. I suffer from anxiety and panic attacks, and the constant stress of trying to get this issue resolved has caused me to lose sleep and even feel physically ill at times. The level of support - or rather, the lack of it - has only made things worse. In the end, I decided to part ways with Surfshark. Despite having paid £70.96 for two years of service, I feel like I’ve received far less than I paid for, especially given the extensive downtime and constant problems. I reached out to Surfshark asking for a partial refund for the 18 months that I couldn’t use the service properly. Unfortunately, they flatly refused to even consider it. This lack of accountability speaks volumes about their disregard for customer satisfaction.More

If you thought that Seedboxes.cc is only about hosting remote servers, I have some news for you. Enter Awesome VPN - its attempt to make a foray into the VPN space.
Before jumping into the review, I’d like to mention that Seedboxes.cc offers VPN services as a free add-on. So, comparing it with top VPN players in the market would be both unfair and futile.
That being said, there are quite ...

I am extremely satisfied!
I've been with them for 6+ years. It is by far the fastest seedbox I have ever used. I have needed to ... contact Customer Service a few times and have always received quick and helpful answers. The service has never been down and it has affected me.
I am downloading 100gb+ files in less than a minute. Also, I have one of the highest ratios at private trackers because of its exceptional performance. It is excellent for maintaining high ratios.
I think it is mostly a matter of choosing the right app for you and selecting the proper settings for maximum performance. A beginner seedbox user or one who has always stuck with the default settings of apps will not find their mark very quickly. However, experienced users and those with a bit of patience and the ability to learn will find the experience more than satisfying. Not only are the speeds to the seedbox blazing fast but so are the speeds I get from the seedbox to my home which has gig internet service.
Lastly, I have asked about logging and they say they do not log the VPN and are very concerned with customers' privacy issues. The rumors that they log these connections are untrue.
Seedboxes.cc is the best value for your money!More

Hard-disk Crashed & 500GB of Files were Lost...
And they had NO VIABLE BACKUPS. All I got was a cheery email in bad English saying that all of my down... loaded files, folders and private files had been lost. AND THAT THERE WERE NO BACKUPS THAT COULD BE RESTORED. That represents FIVE YEARS' OF HARD WORK. And all they offered me was two months free access. Reliability and support = 0.0More
